Is there a way to find out what happened around certain date in the past?

Is there a way to find out what happened around certain date in the past?

For example, by reviewing other traders' trade log on Internet, I found him
"Bought AMZN Apr 50 Put @ $10.60. " on Dec. 4, 2008.

How do I review this trade?

I want to find out what happened around that date Dec. 4, 2008 on AMZN, where do I find such past historical news/data?

Hopefully there is a software that can help with all these things!

Thanks a lot!
