The Brooklyn Daily Eagle's historical entries highlight important cultural moments, starting with the 1919 Good Friday communion at Central Congregational Church led by Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, which included special music and the admission of new members. In 1925, book critic Ruth Sale shared her perplexing views on F. Scott Fitzgerald, finding his celebrated work 'The Great Gatsby' lacking in the promised depth of irony and mysticism, and questioning Fitzgerald’s standing as an author. Finally, in 1926, columnist Frederick Boyd Stevenson critiques the urgency to explore the Arctic after Peary's North Pole discovery, raising doubts about its value and broader implications for society.
