Bragg, G. (20011). How they croaked: The awful ends of the awfully famous. NY: Walker
From royalty, scientist, leaders, writers, and even presidents are people who have different talents or skills and one day must meet their maker. Just like normal people die, famous and even historical people die. It is understandable how people like Christopher Columbus passed away from something that could have been cured with antibiotics.
Bragg's organization of information takes the reader on a journey while explaining the events that led up to their death. Bragg's detailed explanation found at the end of the chapter aids the reader in understanding some of the procedures performed on the corpse. This could be used to present the events that led up to the ending of all these famous people's lives. Definitely goes along with a history lesson for older students.
