Discover the little known facts about some of the world's greatest historical icons.

We all know what was written in the history books. There are some stories we've heard a hundred times--but often our understanding of these events and people is narrow. Have you ever wondered about the lesser known details that influenced major events and figures behind-the-scenes? This hilarious compendium of fascinating facts and dizzying what-ifs will delight and shock history buffs and trivia lovers alike. From Abraham Lincoln's wrestling champ background to the day Napoleon was attacked by a horde of hungry rabbits, this book will give you a new perspective. Including:

  • Walt Disney gave his housekeeper Disney stock every year on her birthday and Christmas. By the time she retired, she was a multi-millionaire.
  • Charlie Chaplin entered a lookalike contest as a joke...and got 20th place.
  • Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company, convinced Thomas Edison's son to collect Edison's last breath in a test tube. It is on display at The Henry Ford Museum in Detroit.
  • Before Galileo Galilei was buried, three of his fingers and a tooth were removed from his body by his admirers. The body parts are on display at the Museo Galileo in Florence, Italy.

From ancient civilization to modern times, history is full of mysterious and downright bizarre circumstances. With these crazy and compelling facts, Hidden Histories will change your view of history
