In thinking about my blog this past week I realized that there are a TON of things that happened each day throughout history. My first post listed nearly 10 different events and barely scratched the surface. Moving forward I will be listing no more than 5 events for each day. For those of you interested in seeing what else happened I will provide links to different day in history sites.
Let's look at December 14...
1798 - David Wilkinson of Rhode Island patented the nut and bolt machine, and the screw, too!
1911 - After centuries of unsuccessful expeditions in search of the South Pole, Roald Amundsen and four companions made the discovery this day.
1953 - Sandy Koufax, age 19, was signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers.
1999 - U.S. and German negotiators agreed to establish a fund of $5.2 billion for Nazi-era slave and forced laborers.
