Description
The year 1912 began with the heretical notion that South America and Africa used to be connected, but moved apart, and ended with the announcement that the ‘missing link’, called Piltdown Man, had been discovered. Join Fred Bercovitch as he goes on a journey back in time to 1912, a year witnessing the Titanic disaster, the appearance of Tarzan, the birth of Girl Scouts, Jim Thorpe achieving an Olympic result that will never be repeated, the Bull Moose Party winning the Red Ribbon in the Presidential election, and multiple other landmark events, including the birth of popular people in arts and entertainment, as well as the death of major figures in health care.
