¡¡¡Happy New Year!!!
This month in history...
~ ...230 years ago, while searching for a Northwest Passage, Captain James Cook discovers Hawaii.
~ ...220 years ago, Britain establishes the first penal (ha, ha... SPELL BOWL!!!) colony in Australia.
~ ...190 years ago, Lord Byron sends the fourth and final section of his famous poem, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage to his publisher.
~ ...160 years ago, James Marshall discovers gold flakes in the channel leading off from the sawmill he was building for John Sutter near Coloma, California. The word spread the population of the state exploded from 14,000 to 100,000 in a matter of two years.
~ ...75 years ago, The Lone Ranger premieres for the first time on Detroit's WXYZ radio station. The show would become a popular subject, claiming a television show, comics, and books and would lead to a new, romantisized concept of the American West.
~ ...60 years ago, Burma gains its independence from Britain in a coup stirred by communist groups and ethnic minorities. This would usher in a new era of a repressive, socialist government.
