Reviews

[Lyndsay]

I finished this little book about the 1900’s (1900-1910, not the whole century as I expected). This book was very interesting to read, because it literally discussed several of the issues we are having now, that were happening over 100 years ago! Crazy how some things change, and others don’t. Can’t believe this book was written almost 70 years ago!
