Content: The fallout shelter is a product of the 1950s when the United States constructed numerous fallout shelters during the Cold War. According to the New York Times article, historians noted "find was exceptional, in part because many of the cardboard boxes of supplies were ink-stamped with two especially significant years in cold-war history: 1957, when the Soviets launched the Sputnik satellite, and 1962.", when the Cuban missile crisis seemed to bring the world to the precipice of nuclear destruction." Elephants Walked Across the Brooklyn Bridge
P.T Barnum's elephants walked across the Brooklyn Bridge in 1884. The bridge had been opened a year when twenty-one elephants, along with camels and other animals crossed the bridge. Barnum wanted to prove the bridge was safe and also wanted to promote his circus. A Toll to Cross the Bridge
