Roestenberg, who was inside her house with her 2-year-old daughter while her two young sons were playing outside in the garden, suddenly heard a loud sound like an aircraft crash. When she stepped outside, her terrified sons shouted: “Mommy, Mommy, there’s a flying saucer” pointing toward a round UFO hovering above them.

  Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour. 
  Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, is an American icon. To many, he is a symbol of values, sacrifice and determination. Modern notions of nationalism, liberty, and constitution all owe their debt to Lincoln, as does the unity of the American states. And yet, in his own day, Lincoln was also reviled by many as a traitor, tarnished by his associations with the wrong kind of race and the wrong end of society. 
  Charting his ascent from humble origins to the leader of the United during her hardest democratic and ethical conflict —the American Civil War— Lincoln: History in an Hour is a succinct guide to the life of a great and controversial modernizer. 
  The book delves into the period of 1850-1877, a pivotal time in American history, and provides a top-notch biography of one of the best presidents, Abraham Lincoln. It's a short read, perfect for those who want to learn about the heads of state in a concise manner.
