On This Day
While sitting in the sauna at the Haborside Sheraton in Portsmouth NH, I thumbed through the New Hampshire Gazette. The Gazette is the oldest paper in the Nation and its editor; Steven Fowles is an ancestor of the founder Daniel Fowles. The paper was founded in 1756.
One page I got into was the on this date page, for example:
On December 26 1862 the largest group hanging in US history happened. All at once 39 Santee Lakota Sioux were hanged. However at this site the claim is 38 natives.
On December 26 1966 the first celebration of Kwanzaa happened.
For tomorrow, December 27th the events that took place include the first Howdy Doody Time aired and Spain became a democracy after forty years of dictatorship.
