Volume III Issue 1 of PastTimes

Line
Volume 3 Issue 1

In this issue, you will find out where movies were made before Hollywood, as we take you inside the movie industry with an original article written in 1915—complete with celebrity gossip!

We also bring you the story of the nation’s first trade union of black workers, and how they won a twelve-year struggle against America’s leading manufacturer of railroad cars in 1937. Then we take you to Mexico, where we expose the truth about why a United States diplomat lost his job for negotiating a peace treaty in 1848.

You will discover how to fight the enemy with some yarn and two needles; explore the mind of a 6th century sailor who thinks he has found a northwest passage to China; meet the woman who transformed 18 young women on a tennis court into a national organization for girls; and help decide what to do with Confederate soldiers after the Civil War.

All of these fascinating stories and more are in this issue of PastTimes!

All this and more in Issue 1 of PastTimes Volume III!
