Eyewitness to History

Do you enjoy history? Probably not, if it seemed like a dry, lifeless subject in school, as the textbooks from the 70's that i recall presented it.

But history can be riveting, fascinating, as exciting as a Jack Ryan movie.

Especially is such the case when you are reading the eyewitness accounts of those who were there whan history happened.

Today's FamilyFirst pick gives you those very eyewitness accounts, written and spoken.

It's called Eyewitness to History.

The accounts go back as far as Herodotus' description of Egyptian mummification in 450 BCE. The process he described was thousands of years old by the time he wrote. Read about one who witnessed Caesar crossing the Rubicon. Read about life in a medieval monastery. Read about the Spanish-American War. Listen to accounts about WWII and listen to Charles Lindbergh recount his crossing of the Atlantic.

The accounts are many, and they all carry the ring of truth.
