Description

People with only a
slight interest in history will enjoy these fascinating, short and easy to understand stories. Serious history buffs will like these lesser-known episodes, not the stories weve heard a million times. For example: try to find anyone who knows
about the attempted slave insurrection in .

With Mary Lincolns spending habits, who knew that Abraham Lincoln
actually saved an enormous percentage of his presidential salary? A slave honored in Virginia with a monument; the history of Lee Highway which opened
with great fanfare in 1923 as a 3,000 mile road from Washington, DC to San
Diego; a story about the Little River Turnpike, the second
oldest turnpike in America, built partly by slaves and captured Hessian soldiers.

Youll read about two Civil War ships
that collided in the .
Victims included wounded soldiers' wives and one soldiers six-year-old son.
Youll read a great account of the massive Civil War corruption.

Youll learn about the disastrous condition of the treasury (sound familiar?) during the
Revolutionary War. The government tried everything, including a lottery to get the country afloat in a sea of red ink. But the most fascinating story may be about the Revolutionary War soldier who faked his own desertion
to defect to the enemy with the highly secretive mission of going behind enemy lines to
capture and return for trial the worst traitor in American history: Benedict
Arnold. Bet you never heard of this story.

There are many
other stories in this eclectic, heavily-researched manuscript.
Theres a story about the Christmas Truce in World War One, about long-forgotten
holidays in , about the retrocession which sent an area of back to
in 1846, and about the impeachment of a Supreme Court justice (it happened only
once).

And more!
