Blogs about: History

Yankee Stadium is history. George W. Bush’s presidency is history. 8-track players are history. The daily lives of cotton farmers’ wives is history. Dinosaurs are history. Yeah, it really starts to add up after awhile, and the longer we’re around, the more appreciation we have for what textbook editors and museum curators have to do – boil all the world’s incredible history down into the most concise and hopefully most accurate version of history. Dare we say that this is a near impossible task? Thankfully, books and museums about history are just the beginning, as humans use technology to find new ways to document and define history.
