Publisher's Synopsis
Here's a chance for anyone with a birthday on May 14 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 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 14, 1918 Sunday baseball was legalized in Washington, DC
