Welcome to the History Tricks, where any resemblance to a boring old history lesson is purely coincidental.

And here's your 30-second summary.

He was just a boy with a silver spoon standing in front of a girl from Baltimore asking her to love him.

The End.

Let's talk about Wallace Simpson.

In 1937 Margaret Mitchell won the pooled surprise for her first and only novel gone with the wind.

The first successful flying car, Waldo Waterman's Aerobile, took its first successful flight.

Wallace was born in a small house named Square Cottage in the then Summer Resort Town of Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania.
