Naval School cadets salute veteran Anatoly Golimbievsky. 1989.

On june 16 in 1944, George Stinney, at 14 years, became the youngest person executed in the US in the 20th century. He was so small they had to stack books on the electric chair. Due to no evidence, his conviction was posthumously vacated 70years after his execution!
George was questioned by the police alone without his parents, the bogus trial was done in 2hrs & it only took 10 minutes for the all-white jury to convict him to death.

An American citizen, Annie Edson Taylor, decided in 1901 to sit in a barrel and become the first to descend from Niagara Falls. She was 63 years old.
Annie chose a barrel 1.4 meters high, put a mattress and pillows in it, and began marketing - found a promoter to organize a performance, and caught up with photographers, newspapermen and onlookers. Everyone wanted donations!
The descent was repeatedly postponed, everyone already thought it was a hoax, but as Freddy advised - Show mast go he (in any weather), so on October 24 the woman jumped from 50 meters height...
The barrel disappeared from view and surfaced only 17 minutes later. Onlookers exhaled. To the rescuers' surprise, the gray-haired adventurer turned out alive, even though she had a small head wound.
Her first phrase was:
"Until my last breath, I will dissuade others from such a feat ... I'd rather climb into the mouth of a cannon ready to tear me apart than go down a waterfall again."
Annie Edson Taylor is pictured posing with her cat and barrel. Autumn, 1901.
P.S. To be fair, it should be noted that the first cat to go down in this barrel was a few days before her mistress.

Truly, a macabre story of a mother-daughter relationship.

Blanche Monnier, a Frenchwoman known for her beauty, wanted to marry a "penniless lawyer" whom her mother disapproved of.
In 1876, her mother locked her twenty-seven-year-old daughter in a tiny room in the attic of their house, where she lived for 25 years without seeing sunlight.
Everyone was told that the girl was dead, so the unfortunate mother and brother went on with their daily lives pretending to mourn her loss.

The left photo was taken in the 1870s, the right one in 1901, after Blanche was discovered. (She died in 1913 in a psychiatric hospital.)
