Davy Crockett: The King of the Untamed Frontier

Seabiscuit: The Hero America Needed

Seabiscuit was born (or more accurately ‘foaled’) on May 23rd, 1933 in Lexington, Kentucky. He was the son of a nasty-tempered rogue named Hard Tack, and a gentle mare named Swing On. Seabiscuit’s father had great speed, no doubt owing to his own pedigree. His father, Man o’ War, was considered by most experts at the time to have been the greatest racehorse ever produced… although his grandson would certainly go on to challenge that claim. The problem with Hard Tack was that he was uncontrollable... Even hall of fame trainer ‘Sunny’ Jim Fitzsimmons couldn’t tame him. →Subscribe for new videos every Monday and Thursday! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 [https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1] Vote for the Biography you want us to next.

Norman Schwarzkopf: America's Final Military Hero

Norman Schwarzkopf: America’s Last War Hero 14 Jun 2024 --- In the summer of 1990, President George HW Bush found himself confronted with a major international crisis. The dictator of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, had invaded the neighboring country of Kuwait, then turned his guns threateningly towards Saudi Arabia, threatening to destabilize a region whose oil reserves were absolutely critical across the globe. Bush decided that Saddam’s aggression needed to be checked, and sent in the military. The man he entrusted to lead the troops was one of the Army’s most experienced generals. Norman Schwarzkopf [Shwarz-koff] was a military man through and through, having been immersed in Army culture from the time he was a small boy. Highly decorated in Vietnam, Schwarzkopf was one of a cadre of officers that oversaw the rehabilitation of the military from its lowest point at the end of that war, helping to institute new training, technology, hardware, as well as boost morale among the young men and women who made up America’s fighting force. It all culminated in those climatic months in the desert. Schwarzkopf’s decisive victory in the Gulf War not only changed the course of history and the geopolitical map of the entire region, but it also turned him into a war hero, perhaps the last one the country will ever produce. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

WILLIAM PALMER: The Notorious Crimes and Prosecution of the Prince of Poisoners

WILLIAM PALMER: The Notorious Crimes and Trial of the Prince of Poisoners 14 May 2024 --- #truecrimestories #crime #doctor Charles Dickens described William Palmer as “the greatest villain that ever stood in the Old Bailey dock.” Other writers and journalists of the day awarded Palmer other monikers such as “the Rugeley Poisoner” and the almost-complimentary epithet “the Prince of Poisoners.” And then, when William Palmer was due to hang, over 35,000 people crowded the streets of Stafford to witness the grisly event, with some even camping overnight to find good spots as if they were attending a festival or waiting for the new pair of Jordans to drop. So what did Palmer do to earn such a fearsome reputation? The crime that earned him a trip to the gallows was the murder of his friend John Cook with strychnine. However, looking back at his history, it was hard not to notice that so many other people in Palmer’s life died in suspicious circumstances, often with him profiting from their deaths. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?
