Historical Biographies

Saint Nicholas

There is a great deal of wonderful  story  in history that is often lost in the textbooks. It makes me sad to hear students say, "History is so boring." It is my favorite subject because of the wonderful stories. Meet the famous and infamous; hear their words as well as their deeds - and even ask them questions!
