[melking]

If you could go back and witness any event in history, which one would it be?

Mine would be signing of the Declaration of Independence

I would like to witness the first tractor being built and tested.

The failed Assyrian siege of Jerusalem. Where did the bodies go?

 

[Bestoutwest]

This is not a fair question. There's so many! If I had to choose one, I'd go to a medieval fair and watch the battle games, walk around, and enjoy the blast. I think that would be so cool.

 

[greybeard]

So many to choose from.
The Chicxulub impact.
The 1883 Krakatoa eruption.
The Alamo.
The eruption of Mt Vesuvius and destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79ad.

But just one--to be an observer and a proverbial fly on the wall?
The 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.

Yep. And to be able to take a modern history book with me...

I'm simple. I want to go back and watch some of the fences I see in my country being built. The stone walls are interesting but I want to see how the woven wire fences went up fifty miles from the nearest road at the time. I want to see the barbed wire that is not a round wire but a strip of sheet metal that they twist and add barbs to be produced and go up.
I already know how most of it was done, I just want to rub elbows with the guys that did it.

I saw the Alamo on TV the other night. John Wayne died. :cry2:

Reminds me of my twin brother--he always managed to show up AFTER all the work was done. :lol:
