History Bites: The Past's Strangest Moments in Bite-size Portions
No Customer Reviews
Did you know that when Teddy Roosevelt traveled to Dakota in 1883, he was known as "four eyes" until he knocked a man unconscious in a barroom brawl? Take an entertaining look at the past through "bite-size" short stories that reveal some of the strangest or funniest moments in history, from classical times through the mid-twentieth century. More than 500 accounts feature famous figures and events, quirky tales, and amusing anecdotes that rarely turn up in a history class--although maybe they should. There are military blunders, royal encounters, political affairs, art and artists, plots and coups, disasters (man-made or otherwise), and much more.
