Jumbo's Hide, Elvis's Ride and the Tooth of Buddha
(amazon)

Continuing his series which inspired the History Channel's "Lost and Found", Harvey Rachlin takes a fun look at some of history's most famous relics and oddities.

"Every so often a book comes along that provides what one might call a condensed version of the Smithsonian Institution, that is a guide to some of the odder and more amusing byways of historical research. Just so, in Rachlin's diverting volume." — Washington Post Book World
