This season you can get involved in an exciting new History Detectives feature.

Step inside the gumshoes of a History Detective and help solve a mystery -- and it will all take place right here, live, on the History Detectives website.

Our first investigation was submitted by David Gindy from Coral Gables, Florida. David has an old scrapbook that seems to date back to the 1800s with ties to the Wild West and an Italian dancer who, legend says, brought the Can Can to America.

Join us today to start sleuthing!
