Fascinating Tales From Obscure History (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780980071665)

Did you know a novel foretold one of the most famous maritime disaster fourteen years before it happened?

...Or that a typing error actually shortened a war.

...Or that you've probably never heard of the Great Peshtigo Fire or why it's been lost to obscure history?

These are only three of the fascinating tales from the vaults of obscure history. Tales as you've never heard them before. Only in the dusty corners of history will you find these stories about the men and women, just like you and me, whose names have been engraved in the annuals of time.

Come with me on a fascinating journey through more than 50 tales of inventions, sports, war, courage, crime, disasters, and more. Let's have some fun!
