"Peace... Cyrus is on our side. Or rather, for the right price, he will be."
Samuel Adams regarding Cyrus, a town crier, 1770.[src]

Town criers were public announcers that existed during the 18th century. The Kanien'kehá:ka Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton could bribe the criers in Boston and New York, in order to reduce his notoriety.

Trivia

  • Unlike heralds in Italy and Ottoman Empire, town criers could not be pickpocketed after being bribed.
  • The criers did not attract crowds of civilians, and some held up newspapers.
