This was good and a bit long? It seemed to pull in different directions at times where I wish it would just stay at pace.
Here's what I loved about it all the crazy history learning!
I didn't know that this was at Chicago Worlds Fair! This was exciting to learn more about because I have a necklace my great-great (maybe another great? I'm unsure) grandmother attended as a child! She was gifted this beautiful gold locket with a moon on it and a shimmery diamond star - it even has a dent in it because she chewed on it as a child.
It always blows my mind that historical figures can meet? Like Buffalo Bill and Susan b Anthony? We have a Buffalo Bill museum locally i'm keen on visting now. Additionally, I've been to Cody so that was cool to learn about after too.
Learning about h.h. holmes was definitely chilling, when I always thought of the worlds fair was always something grand - like the Olympics- so having him in the mix of it was tragic.
Interesting times, great book!
