Looking Back, Part 2
A history of January 16 - 31
What happened on January 16? How about January 17 . . 18 . . 20, and so
on? Quite a lot. From an Egyptian Queen of the 15th Century B.C.E. to
the passage of the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery in America, the
second half of January is a wild ride.
Did you know there is a day associated with air disasters? And another
day that gives guns a bad name? Then there's the female journalist who
went around the world in less than 80 days. And the 19th century
inventions that changed the world. And it all happened in the second
half of January.
