Synopsis
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., 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?

    Book was just as described. Cardboard was in place in one side of it for shipping it was in a waterproof envelope. However, I would suggest the seller use more protective material for future book shipments. (Especially considering this is a 60 year-old book, it could’ve been wrapped more securely in order to prevent shipping damage. The damage was not horrible, but the corners were slightly smashed and torn - wear that was not present in the advertising photos.
