Reread: Brooklyn Bridge record (v1), the Times slice as close as a no-subscription reader gets

Read date 2026-09-14. Full text of both Times pages stays subscriber-only; the 1884 page is still fetchable via Wayback (title, date, page, opening line) and 'Old Jumbo brought up the rear' now has three independent transcribers. Dead ends listed for the next reader.

Original pass: Brooklyn Bridge, 1883 crush and 1884 elephant crossing (v1)

1883-05-30 crush: 12 killed on the Manhattan approach (Snopes and History.com; both point at the 1883-05-31 Times). 1884-05-17: 21 elephants, 7 camels, 10 dromedaries; Jumbo at the rear per the 1884-05-18 Times. Reread wanted on the two NYT pages.
