Events, eras, inventions, and figures from the past. Clues may use period objects as much as famous dates.
About History
What this category covers
History puzzles rarely require a degree. They often use objects that mark a period: quill, telegram, ration, frontier, archive. The answer may be an era word, a role (envoy, scribe), or a tool that stopped being common.
If every clue could belong in a museum display case, think history. Cross-check with people and places tags, because those categories share a lot of the same material.
