Newspaper Articles about Titles

Historic Newspaper Articles

This section compliments our Bibliography and contains defining articles about the use and origin of the term(s) "goodwill ambassador" and "ambassador of goodwill". The history begins in Colonial America because this is the only place we can put the term into the context of American Common Law and the power of the Governors, Presidents, Secretaries of State and other Officials to Commission both civilian and foreign persons with the Honorable title to serve their jurisdictions as Goodwill Ambassadors.

Common Law Titles 19th & 20th Centuries

Colonelcy is probably the best and most favorable form of authority in common law in order to exercise the duties of a goodwill ambassador. This collection of newspaper articles demonstrates practical use in common law.
