Flipping through 100 Days in Photographs is an emotional experience! The historical events pictured here include the completion of America's transcontinental railroad, the launch of Sputnik 1, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the beginning of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, man's first steps on the moon, the fall of Pol Pot, the Chernobyl disaster, the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004…and many other eventful moments in between. The remarkable photographs (from the mammoth archives of both National Geographic and Getty Images)—paired with historical notes about each event and relevant quotes from people who were on the scene—lead you on a poignant journey through time, from 1851 to 2005.
