Geocache Description:

With the general election season for 2016 in full swing, it seemed appropriate to delve back into history long before the twenty-four hour news cycle and the Internet, to an event that epitomizes the rush to broadcast the next big story.

"Dewey Defeats Truman" was an incorrect banner headline on the front page of the Chicago Daily Tribune on November 3, 1948, the day after incumbent United States President Harry S. Truman won an upset victory over Republican challenger and Governor of New York Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 presidential election. It was famously held up by Truman at a public appearance following his successful election, smiling triumphantly at the error.

Dewey Defeats Truman


Thus concludes the history lesson, now onto the puzzle!

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but is located at North encyclopedias in other languages, encyclopedias in English, point, office services, and West, newspapers in other geographical areas, serials in Spanish and Portuguese, point, bibliographies.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

The first to find will receive my usual personalized perforated coin.

Congratulations to Paintedwarrior and dukemartin for the FTF!
