1923: The Mystery of Lot 212 and a Tour de France Obsession – Unusual book to recommend perhaps, but it certainly helps that I’ve been lured into the Tour de France world these last couple of years (lovely mash-up of sport and geography/history/culture). What the genealogist in me loves is the deep dive this author took to find out everything he could about a 2.5 minute bit of footage from 1923. Puts me in mind of my Annie Moore quest, though this was his COVID obsession. Also, there’s a surprising amount of historical context. I learned a lot about Europe in 1923.
