Then we visit Brownsea Island in 1907, where a simple camping experiment became the foundation of the worldwide Scouting movement. Finally, we follow the strange journey of London Bridge, which opened in 1831, served London for more than a century, and eventually found a new home in Arizona.We also celebrate the birthday of Robert Todd Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln's son, who built his own remarkable career while remaining connected to some of the most dramatic moments in American history.History has a way of taking ordinary beginnings and turning them into something nobody could have predicted.WaitThatsRandom.com
