Mail-Order Brides Wanted Many people migrated to the western United States during the 19th century in hopes of finding new opportunities and fortune. But because it was uncharted territory, it was a very dangerous situation. There were very few women that felt that they were able to handle the wild west, so more often than not, men would advertise their need for wives to settle with. Have you ever thought about how rich people kept in shape during the turn of the century? The Rich Need To Exercise The Titanic is such a popular subject that it would seem like we know all about it. But did you know that there were gym facilities for the passengers in first-class?

We're willing to bet that you've never seen this historical figure quite like this. The Devil Does Smile This rare photo is of the heinous German dictator, Adolf Hitler, smiling while enjoying the tea he's having with Gertrud Deetz, the wife of Nazi politician Albert Forster.

This baby stroller was made to keep babies safe just in case there was ever a chemical attack. Find A New Dream Maurice Tillet was 20-years-old when he began to experience swelling of his hands, feet, and head. The swelling was a result of a disorder called acromegaly. He wasn't able to fulfill his dreams of being a lawyer, so he turned to professional wrestling. During the 1940s, Tillet was huge in the box office and received international recognition. Here you can see him with model Dorian Leigh. Reaching The Stars Even though the Cold War brought about lots of fear, it was also the beginning of the space age.

Not Your Everyday Pet Audrey Hepburn starred in Green Mansions, a romantic movie that takes place in the jungle of Venezuela, in 1959.
