Today in History:
1840 - The organization of the American Society of Dental Surgeons was founded in New York City
1872 - 1st mail-order catalog issued by A. M. Ward
1920 - The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. It gave women the right to vote. Huzzah!
1926 - Weather map televised for 1st time
1960 - Beatles give their 1st public performance (Kaiserkeller in Hamburg) Sweet. I always wished I could have seen the Beatles live.
1962 - Peter, Paul and Mary release their 1st hit "If I Had a Hammer" I love that song! On another note, I met Peter Yarrow in person, in Washington D.C. during the weekend of the Obama Inauguration. It was epic, being a folk guitarist myself. And we talked for a good 15 minutes before he got whisked away by some other fan.
1996 - Record 6,654 people tap at Macy's Tap-o-mania in New York City
