Volume II Issue 7 of PastTimes

Line

In the days of flying aces and dog fights, one man risked his life behind enemy lines for his country. Find out what this pilot thought about his death-defying flight and more in this issue.

You will meet “breaker bobby,” a boy forced to grow up too fast; get advice on how to change the world, Benjamin Franklin style; find out what happened to a family who survived a dark time in our history; and read about the man who held two New World natives captive and brought them to France in 1536.

We will also try to convince you to stop buying British tea (in 1774, that is) and we turn courtship upside-down to find out what marriage looks like.

Don’t miss our recruiting poster for work on the canals…it could be your dream job! Work begins on July 4, 1826.
