Forgotten History: A Collection of History Events That Have Been Forgotten
Forgotten History
This book has comprehensive information about phenomenal historical events that have somehow been forgotten.
A lot happens every passing day. The interesting thing about us is that we somehow place different ranks on what remains in our hearts and minds in the years to come and what we forget after several weeks, months or even years. In particular, different events have shaped humanity in different ways. And while it is hard to tell why we tend to remember some events or occurrences more than others, the thing with history is that with it, you never quite know what it will choose to keep alive in the hearts of men and what will be forgotten such that it is remembered by only a few.
Some events, people and movements are so big in their time that it seems impossible that they will ever be forgotten. Yet several decades later, it seems no one remembers they even happened. Perhaps, the people simply outgrew them and established bigger things in their place. Sometimes, parallel events happened at the same time these events, movements, wars, or people were in full swing and thus they did not go down in history, as they should have.
Regardless of the situation, some of these historical events are truly remarkable stories. Actually, if you were to go through them, it may boggle your mind that they are not spoken of more often than they are.
If you are looking for a glimpse of history that you never quite often see in news stories and history books, this book will help you discover some of the occurrences that have taken place in the past that have shaped humanity in one way or the other.

Not a book, really.
This is less a book than an article covering about 8 or 9 historical curiosities that are somewhat overlooked. The individual stories lack detail. For example, the writer discusses the Great Peshtigo Fire, which killed 1,200 people and burned an entire town to cinders, but he never elaborates on how or why it happened, or why nobody knows that much about it, or whether the town rebuilt, or even any personal survival stories. There was afire, it was huge, nobody knows about it. The end. That's not much of a history.

A very short book but every page was full of good information. I learned a lot about Cahokia and I grew up near there. Most importantly it does spark a curiosity to learn more about these incidents.

Read this little book
As a teacher or math and history I would have loved to have had these stories to increase interest in the subjects. I used stories from Egypt to ancient Greece to interest students.

Interesting
It's a short book but has some interesting information about little known events and people throughout history. More than worth a look.

Gems
This book is full of fascinating gems I never heard of in history class. There are only a few stories. They are worth reading!
