The Great Stork Derby rewarded the Toronto mother who had the most babies between 1926 and 1936
mercredi 21 novembre 2018, 16:00 , par BoingBoing
When Toronto attorney Charles Vance Millar died in 1926, he left behind a mischievous will that promised a fortune to the woman who gave birth to the most children in the next 10 years. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the Great Stork Derby and the hope and controversy it brought to Toronto's largest families during the Great Depression.
We'll also visit some Portuguese bats and puzzle over a suspicious work crew. Show notes Please support us on Patreon!
