Halloween - No indication that Halloween was widely celebrated in North America

Time: 18th Century

Place: North America

Details: Almanacs of the late 18th and early 19th century give no indication that Halloween was widely celebrated in North America. An almanac (also spelled almanack and almanach) is an annual publication listing a set of events forthcoming in the next year. It includes information like weather forecasts, farmers' planting dates, tide tables, and other tabular data often arranged according to the calendar. Celestial figures and various statistics are found in almanacs, such as the rising and setting times of the Sun and Moon, dates of eclipses, hours of high and low tides, and religious festivals. The set of events noted in an almanac may be tailored for a specific group of readers, such as farmers, sailors, or astronomers.
