John Gay's 1728 play, "The Beggar's Opera," was the inspiration for "The Threepenny Opera" (Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill) and was therefore the first literary appearance of Mack the Knife (not to mention the excellently named Suki Tawdry, et. al.). Available here, free.
And a collection of newspaper articles by Carl Sandburg, with an introduction by Walter Lippmann, entitled "The Chicago Race Riots, July, 1919." Also free from Google.
