In April 1775, Isaiah Thomas snuck his printing press out of Boston. The rest is history
On April 16, 1775, Isaiah Thomas, a revolutionary patriot and printer of the radical Boston newspaper, The Massachusetts Spy, snuck his printing press out of Boston under the cover of darkness. It was taken by Thomas Bigelow, a fellow patriot, to Worcester, Mass., where it remains to this day. Doug Brown, of the American Antiquarian Society, tells the tale.
