History is much more interesting than our history books lead us to believe. Well, that isn't entirely the case. History is full of fascinating stories and even more fascinating characters, the problem with history class wasn't the subject matter, but how it was taught; reading. 


Learning about history through photographs is a different experience entirely. When you can see the faces and figures who blazed the trails before you, their impact on our understanding becomes greater. So see the past like you've never seen it before with these fascinating pics from the past.
