Happy New Year from History Moments!
by Jack Le Moine, the Publisher
The backbone of this site is stories of the great events of history as told by great historians. Some are by witnesses. Some by great writers of literature. Many of these are drawn from a the multi-volume Book “Great Events by Famous Historians” selected and edited by Rossiter Johnson; assisted by Charles F. Horne and John Rudd.
We broke the selections down into 5 minute installments for easy reading. Videos, current books, and internet articles (chiefly from Wikipedia) add value to each selection. Below we chose one selection for each month to highlight from the many that we published last year.
OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The more the years go by, the more this website becomes less a blog and more a library. By now it is fairly complete. This does not include the twentieth century because of copyright issues. The dates posted have become less important as dates and more as placeholders. This year’s posts include some of the greats: Leopold von Ranke, Winston S. Churchill, and Mark Twain. Major events from China, Africa, and the Middle East, as well as the usual places.
OUR FUTURE PLANS
We are transitioning our efforts to our education website.
