I'd like to go back to the early days of the American Revolution, listen to Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and the other great minds of the time. Watch George Washington ride off to battle, sit in Sam Adams' tavern and listen to people debate whether to separate from England, maybe see the Boston Tea Party or Paul Revere's ride. Whew!

To go back to 1924. The place: top of Mount Everest. The reason: to see if George Mallory and Andrew Irvine did reach the summit and therefore die on the way down rather than the assumed going up. I am just curious.

The French Revolution. In a famous book, either The Scarlet Pimpernel, or The Tale Of Two Cities, there was a lady, who may have actually lived, who use to sit and watch executions, during this revolution.

I would like to go back to a French factory in 1982 when a French Exocet missile from a French built Super Entendre fighter plane was fired by the Argentinian air force and hit and sunk HMS Sheffield in the Falkland Islands conflict killing dozens of British sailors and all the factory workers cheered.
Know who your true enemy is.

The shooting of JFK. I would be the only one to know it was going to happen [besides the shooters of course] and unravel the truth to what happened that day. Evidence shows there was more than one shooter and that the person blamed for killing him might have been set up and not actually killed him. I think it would be cool to have really seen who did it.
I'd either want to witness that or the 1947 Roswell crash to see if it was true or not [I'd be in the military of course]. I am kind of a fan of 'aliens' just for the fact that I don't think they really exist.

I think that if I could go back in time and see a single event I'd really want to see what really happened to Atlantis. So many theories, and no real answers, so I'd like to know.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor. I would like to see with my own eyes, the event that unified this country as no event has done before or since, and caused Admiral Yamamoto to (allegedly) say "I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with terrible resolve.".

They say you can't influence the past. What a load of nonsense, If St Joan Of Arc, is going to be burned at the stake, and i could stop it happening, do you really think that i would just stand by and watch it happen. What was her crime, she was just a young Woman for goodness sake.

Not an actual even t but I would love to see and interact with my people before others came to this country. I am very interested in the Blackfoot origins.
