This Day in History: April 18th, 1587 John Foxe died. He is mostly remembered as the author of his book, Acts and Monuments, aka Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. I make a pictorial or engraving version of my original 1732 Martyrs book that is pretty cool. Take a look at my web page at the following link to find out more about this book and to see a slide show of all of the pages from this book: I have found that this book creates a lot of interest at reenacting events.
