Beautifully told tales of History. These stories provide a way to feel quite engaged in history . It is similar to "Historical Fiction" or "Living History" style of books, accept that it is quite unique because the tales in which Charles Morris gives us are completely true. It is said of these volumes that they should be accompanied with at the least a bare bones outline of historical events occurring in these locations. This is because the goal of Charles Morris is not to teach us everything in the usual boring way of the average history text, but rather to find the most engaging tales in history and share them with us.
