    $3.95
    The Frontier, trailbazed by legendary pioneers like Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett, was declared closed, with exquisite bathos, by the American Census Bureau in 1890.

    The Great Famine (1315–17) abruptly ended a population explosion in England that had seen the population almost triple since the time of the Domesday Book (1086).

High birth rates and decreasing mortality rates, combined with mass immigration, produced soaring population... More

Between 65 to 74 years there were 10.2 million women to 7.9 million men.... More
