1900 TO 1909



    I am President McKinley assassinated,
Roosevelt takes office.
I am Einstein's theory of relativity  
As Promised.

I am the Harley-Davidson that
Was Created.
I am even today no other cycle  
Has Dominated.

I am MLB's first world  
Series Game.
I am the disposable razor,
King Gillette is the name.

I am Susan B. Anthony the year
She dies.
I am President Roosevelt wins
The Nobel Peace Prize.

I am Oklahoma when it  
Becomes A State.
I am San Francisco when the  
Earth shakes.

I am an explosion in a West Virgina
Coal mine.
I am the wheatback penny gets a
New design.

I am the FBI the day it  
Was Born.
I am the Model-T ford  
Without a horn.

I am instant coffee when
 It was Introduced.
I am color in a photo  
First produced.

I am silent movies at the
Picture show.
I am America modernized by
The radio.
