Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers (BETA)

[Tom Zurinskas]

Can you get us a word count of top 10,000 words for 20,000,000 words of text
for an area paper in the past?  Then do it again for a current paper from
same area.  I'll compare popularity of word usage then and now for you.
Probably won't change.
