History is made every day, and for someone like me who loves to study history, I'm always facsinated to find out what happened on the day I was born in history. This is a preview to a series I hope to run called This Week in History. What I would like is for you to provide your birthday date and I'll reply with what happened that day in history. I'll start of with mine as an example.
MARCH 4TH 1789: Government under the US Constitution begins 1829: President Jackson holds an "open house" of the White House 1861: Lincoln's first inauguration 1865: Lincoln's second inauguration 1868: Founder of the Chisholm Trail dies 1887: Daimler's first car makes its first test run 1888: Knute Rockne, the Studebaker car brand namesake, is born 1902: AAA (Automobile Club) is organized 1913: Woodrow Wilson's first inauguration 1933: Franklin D. Roosevelt's first inauguration 1936: Lone Ranger serial is released 1952: Ernest Hemingway finishes his book, "The Old Man and the Sea" 1952: Ronald Reagan marries Nancy Davis 1965: DC-7 crashes in a Cameroon swamp 1988: My birthday 2005: Martha Stewart is released from prison And that's it. My mom's birthday is tomorrow. Her's looks like this: JULY 20 1869: Mark Twain's book "The Innocents Abroad" is published 1881: Sitting Bull surrenders to US Army 1940: Billboard's first chart 1948: President Truman issues Peacetime Draft 1958: Arthur Godfrey's "Talent Scouts" goes off the air 1969: Neil Armstrong becomes the first man to walk on the moon 1976: Viking 1 lands on Mars So hit me up with your birthdays and I'll pump out a list ASAP. Hope to hear from all of you soon! -------------------- "You know, man, you're the history major. You're the one who told me that Roosevelt or whoever once said that yesterday is not ours to recapture but that tomorrow was ours to win or lose or something like that. You also said that Lincoln said the best thing about the future was that it comes one day at a time, right? Well, maybe you just need to take this one day at a time too. Why are you gonna risk giving up your friends because of something stupid you did before? Wouldn't that make it more stupid? Learn your lesson from what you did and make a better tomorrow. That seems like the kind of thing you normally do. And look, you don't have to lose any friends."
-A good friend.  |

World History is <3

You're the one who told me that Roosevelt or whoever once said that yesterday is not ours to recapture but that tomorrow was ours to win or lose or something like that. You also said that Lincoln said the best thing about the future was that it comes one day at a time, right? Well, maybe you just need to take this one day at a time too.
