In this course you will find yourself reading about amazing people and events.  How is it that over 6,000 people died in one storm in the United States?  How did a blind man travel across the whole continent of Asia-and back?  By the way he did this in 1814 (no trains, planes, or automobiles).  Don't you think he would have been robbed?  Maybe he was.  There are so many weird and wonderful TRUE stories that I would love to share with you.  You may even have a story you want to share with me.  The world of nonfiction is captivating.  Come along for the ride.  The worst that can happen is that you read a great true story.
