On This Date June 13 Curtis Vanaudestrade

Here's a chance for anyone with a birthday on June 13th to view a very special slice of the past...the events that occurred over the past two millennia on that exact day of the year. How many times did something that happened on June 13 steer the path of history in a different direction from that moment forward? Some were born, some died, ships sailed and ships sank, music was composed, technology totally changed the way we communicated, wars were won (or lost, depending upon one's viewpoint), and weather events changed the face of the earth. And then there are the little things that amaze and inspire us to wonder why we didn't think of this before, like when on June 13, 1920 the U. S. Post Office Department ruled that children may not be sent by parcel post. Enjoy this unique collection of events; we've filled in some of the missing data from other lists we've seen to give a better idea of what actually happened with no thought at all to distorting history in the interest of political correctness.
