It's a front-row seat to the stories that made headlines, and the ones that didn't but should have. You'll meet everyday workers who sparked a revolution over a 32-cent pay cut. You'll feel the cold air on the Niagara Falls ice bridge moments before it collapsed under families' feet. You'll sit in the stands as Fenway Park opens, watch the Titanic set sail, and witness a bitter showdown between two former best friends, Taft and Roosevelt, battling for the White House. Some names you'll know. Others you've never heard of. But every chapter makes you realize just how much can happen in a single year. If you've ever wanted to step into a single year and see the sparks of change fly, up close and personal, this book lets you feel it, not just read about it.
