Line
Volume 2 Issue 5

Have you ever seen New York’s Chrysler Building when it was only 9 stories high? The front page of issue 5 tells the strange tale of the race to build the world’s tallest building in 1929, with some impressive images to help.

Also within the pages of this issue, you will be asked the question “Should Texas become the 28th state?”; find out why a group of women went on strike in 1836; enter the thoughts of a curious girl who watches new arrivals to her home; and read about the first black man elected to Congress…who was not allowed to serve.

And if you look closely, you just might find your marbles on the last page.
