Publisher's summary

Meet the heroes and villains who have become etched in the annuals of obscure history.

Did you know a woman signed the Declaration of Independence?

Have you heard about the explorer who tried to reach the North Pole via hot air balloon?

Did you know Eli Whitney had an invention even more important than the cotton gin—or did he?

Those are only three of the stories in this volume. Come with me to meet scientists and sailors, a hoax or two, champions and inventors—the spies, warriors, dogs, horses, artists, and criminals who have risen from the depths of obscure history to amuse and amaze us.

Take my hand to share a fascinating journey through obscure history’s dusty corridors. Lets have some fun!
