In 1899, the streets echoed with the voices of Newsies. Pedallin
the newspspers of Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, and
other giants of the newspaper world. On every corner you saw em
carryin the banner, bringin you the news for a penny a pape. Poor
orphans and runaways, the Newsies were a ragged army without a
leader. Until one day, all that changed.
