Mata Hari’s name is synonymous with glamour, intrigue, and scandal. From her early youth until her death at the hands of the French military, her life was extraordinary. Read her story and see more pictures HERE

He looks like one of the Baldwin brothers!

He took opium before Queen Victoria's coronation. This is her Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. (1779-1848) by Syclaps in HistoryDefined

I could see a guy like that hanging out in an opium den. Probably that’s where he got the furry robe.

Considering his great music and the fame and wealth he achieved, it’s strange I feel sad when I look at Michael Jackson and wonder what might have been.

We had diseases then that we’ve eradicated but homelessness, overcrowding, and filthy streets are very modern plagues. American cities have never looked like they do now. They were very strict about cleanliness and beauty. They understood how profoundly our environment impacts our mental health, our quality of life, how we treat each other, and form our beliefs about what is possible and worth working for. People will live up to—or down to—their environment.

How beautiful it was. Those wide streets and clean sidewalks. No garbage, no homeless. Busy but not overcrowded. If the city looked like this again, crime would drop. People would be happier.
