It's about Time
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book is for readers of all types, occasional readers, history buffs, frequent readers, and even mystery novel readers! The detail and details on each subject is quite amazing! For instance most Americans would not believe the Gettysburg address took only 2 minutes to deliver by President Lincoln and the main speaker at the event spoke for 2 hours! Most Americans would not believe that we have not set foot on the moon since 1972! Most Americans remember John Glenn as a U.S. Senator and Astronaut but few know that he flew 59 combat missions in World War II! It is these important details of history and time that make this book so wonderful to read and appreciate. It doubles as a coffee table book because when friends come over, they immediately pick it up and start reading it! It is worth double or triple the price I paid for it! I heartily recommend this book to readers of all ages, young and old who want appreciate history and the Time it took to make that history!
