Ty IDPATH takes you back to the dawn of history long before the Pyramids of Egypt were built;

 of Babylonia's wealth and luxury; of Greek and Roman splendor, of Mohammedan culture and 

 refinement; of French elegance and British power; to the rise of the Western world, including the 

 complete history of the United States and all other nations down to the close of the Russia-Japan war. 



1^ IDPATH'S enviable position as an historian is due to his wonderfully beautiful style, a style no

 style that history becomes as absorbingly interesting as the greatest of ficti
