Historical Investigations

What is it all about?

It is about stories. Stories about people. Stories that started from just a trifle. A worn down inscription on the tomb plate, golden locket with flowery monogram or strange name of a British mariner.

Some of personalities were well-known during their life-time, but passing time worn down any remembrance of  them. Another lived so covert a life, that after many years the veil of mystery lifts only slightly.

So, welcome to my bureau of historical investigations and have a nice read...
