Book Description
For the first time ever, human beings were in control of their environment. Airplanes, trains, and the first diesel engines let people go faster and farther than ever before. The birth of modern art and sound recording promised new cultural heights, while the invention of jazz music and the popularization of low-cost photography managed to bring societies closer together. This decade, from its arts and fashion to its politics and technological advancements, would help shape a culture and set the stage for the century ahead.

Book Description
Given that he was to become a student of human nature with an interest in writing, Julian K. Nail could not have grown up in a better place than St. Paul, Indiana. Born in 1923, the youngest of seven children, he was exposed to story lines even before he started working as a young boy in his father's dry goods store, which was something of a central marketplace for the greater St. Paul area. The stories chronicled here will no doubt be of particular interest to the Nail family and to St. Paul, but if you enjoy reading family-oriented, small town USA folklore, you'll be delighted by these rich stories and vignettes.

Book Description
The 1900 Olympic Games have been termed "The Farcical Games." The events were poorly organized and years later many of the competitors had no idea that they had actually competed in the Olympics. They only knew that they had competed in an international sporting event in Paris in 1900. No official records of the 1900 Olympics exist. Based primarily on 1900 sources, the sites, dates, events, competitors, and nations as well as the event results are compiled herein for all of the 1900 Olympic events, including archery, track and field, cricket, equestrian, fencing, soccer, pelota basque, water polo, and rowing, among other sports.
