I See Lincoln's Underpants: The Surprising Times Underwear (and the People Wearing Them) Made History | Mick Sullivan

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

We all wear underwear - even famous people like Buzz Aldrin, Queen Victoria, and Satchel Paige. Through the ages, plenty of these figures have made history. Sometimes their underwear did, too (even if they might have tried to hide it). From Abe Lincoln's embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions to Amelia Bloomer's eponymous undies to Otzi the Iceman's 5300-year-old skivvies, I See Lincoln's Underpants opens the top drawers of some of history's most interesting people for more than just a peek. In addition to Short Shorts and the Underwear Hall of Fame, sixteen biographical chapters highlight the lives and most interesting moments of people like "Australian Mermaid" Annette Kellermann, silent film star Buster Keaton, and inventor Garrett Morgan. If you take away nothing else, let it be this: Always leave the house in a fresh pair. You never know what could happen.

Going to give this to my sister to use with students, but I wanted to read it first. I enjoyed this history lesson involving underwear & historical people, including Lincoln, Satchel Paige, Buster Keaton, etc. Think it‘s aimed at 5th-8th graders, would be great for families. His podcast for families & teachers is The Past & The Curious.

Littens,
My favorite event, the Kentucky Book Festival, was today, & I went crazy buying books, meeting new authors, seeing authors I‘ve met before, & spending money like I‘m JR Ward.
Btw, JR Ward was there, & she had 2 bodyguards!!! It was weird. I did not get anything from her though.
1/3 of #bookhaul. The tagged is an entertaining middle grade book that came out of The Past & The Curious podcast, which I haven‘t listened to yet.
