1800 TO 1899
I am the war
Of 1812.
I am Standard Oil
Dripping with wealth.
I am Edgar Allen Poe
And Beethoven.
I am the first time the
Kentucky Derby opens.
I am the battle at
Wounded knee.
I am the giving of the Statue
Of Liberty.
I am the sewing machine
Gets a Patent.
I am Darwin and Uncle
Tom's cabin.
I am Abe Lincoln and the
Gettysburg Address.
I am they place Geronimo
Under arrest.
I am Jack the ripper and
Sherlock Holmes.
I am Alexander Graham Bell
And the telephone.
I am the book Alice in
Wonderland.
I am the Eli Whitney and
Thomas Edison.
I am the Lewis and Clark
Expedition.
I am the first Olympic game
Competition.
I am the opium war and the
Louisiana Purchase.
I am Florence Nightingale
At your service.
I am the Kodak camera
In a box.
I am the new,
Chicago White sox.
