Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about what happened today in history.
1801 Kentucky outlaws duelling
1871 Henry Morton Stanley encounters David Livingstone at Ujiji, near Lake Tanganyika in Central Africa, with the immortal words 'Dr Livingstone, I presume?'
1891 1st Women's Christian Temperance Union meeting held (in Boston)
1951 1st long distance telephone call without operator assistance
1954 "Marine Corps War Memorial" unveiled in Arlington County, Virginia, dedicated to US Marine Corps who died in defense of US since 1775 (inspired by 1945 Iwo Jima photo of servicemen raising US flag)
We hoped you liked this post and as always have a chilled day from the viking.
