Publisher's Synopsis
Here's a chance to view a very special slice of the past...the events that occurred over the past two millennia on May 7. How many times did something that happened on that day alter the course of history 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 made everyday life a little better, like when on May 7, 1914 The US Congress established Mothers' Day! An On This Date booklet has been created for each day of the year, and will be updated annually.
