Jesse Owens Set Three World Records (1935)

After setting world records for track in high school and college, he won a slot on the 1936 U.S. Olympic team.

But the triumph of Jesse's will helped him run through any barrier, winning four gold medals and the hearts of millions, setting two world records, and proving the Nazi dictator unmistakably wrong.

First Telegraph Message Transmitted (1844)
-- Samuel Morse was the inventor of the telegraph. He built his first apparatus in 1835. The first telegraph message was:
.-- .... .- - .... .- - .... --. --- -.. .-- .-. --- ..- --. ....
- transmitted by Morse from Washington to Baltimore on May 24, 1844 and read What hath God wrought?

Read: The Victorian Internet: The Remarkable Story of the Telegraph and the Nineteenth Century's On-line Pioneers, by Tom Standage
-- Tells the colorful story of the telegraph's creation and remarkable impact, and of the visionaries, oddballs, and eccentrics who pioneered it, from the eighteenth-century French scientist Jean-Antoine Nollet to Samuel F. B. Morse and Thomas Edison. The electric telegraph nullified distance and shrank the world quicker and further than ever before or since, and its story mirrors and predicts that of the Internet in numerous ways.

• The Telegraph: A History of Morse's Invention and Its Predecessors in the United States -- Samuel F.B. Morse's invention of the telegraph marked a new era in communication. For the first time, people were able to communicate quickly from great distances. The genesis of Morse's invention is covered in detail, starting in 1832, along with the establishment of the first transcontinental telegraph line in the United States and the dramatic effect the device had on the Civil War. The Morse telegraph that served the world for over 100 years is explained in clear terms. Also examined are recent advances in telegraph technology and its continued impact on communication.


• Telegraph Straight Key with Wood Base -- Features a Morse Code straight key on a non-skid, beautifully stained wood base. It has a steel base under the bottom so it stays put on the table and doesn't move around while you are sending! Lets you send code at home, work, riding in your car -- practically anywhere -- because it's so easy to take it wherever you go!

Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit's Birthday (1686)
-- Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (born May 24, 1686 – died September 16, 1736) was a physicist, engineer, and glass blower best known for inventing the alcohol thermometer (1709) and the mercury thermometer (1714), and for developing a temperature scale named after him.

Read: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Their Temperature Scales, by Yoming S. Lin
-- Describes the scientists behind the two most commonly used temperature scales, and explains how their scientific research and innovations are still used today. Though people have surely commented on hot and cold weather for thousands of years, our most commonly used temperature scales both date from the eighteenth century. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, who also played a key role in the development of the modern thermometer, invented the Fahrenheit scale.

Mary Had a Little Lamb Published (1830)
-- The nursery rhyme was first published (as opposed to written) by the Boston publishing firm Marsh, Capen and Lyon, as an original poem by Sarah Josepha Hale on May 24, 1830, and was inspired by an actual incident. As a girl, Mary Sawyer kept a pet lamb, which she took to school one day at the suggestion of her brother. A commotion naturally ensued.

Read: Mary Had a Little Lamb, by Sarah Josepha Hale, Tomie dePaola
-- Since this nursery rhyme first appeared in 1830, children have loved it. Tomie DePaola uses his signature folk art style and sets the poem in a traditional 19th century New England setting. The result is an endearing interpretation of the little lamb who followed Mary to school and how the teacher handled it.

National Taffy Day (1882)
-- The origins of taffy is often debated, but this chewy candy has been part of American life since the late 1800s. Salt water taffy was created in Atlantic City in 1883 by a shopkeeper on the boardwalk named David Bradley. In 1883, a storm surge flooded Bradley's store and covered his candy inventory in seawater, the day after the storm he was cleaning up when a girl entered the store and asked for a bag of taffy. With sarcasm, he told the girl to help herself to his salt water taffy, and the name stuck.

Bifocals Invented (1784)
-- Benjamin Franklin is widely credited as the inventor of bifocals. According to the Antique Spectacles and Other Visual Aids museum, curated by Dr. David A. Fleishman, an archived political cartoon dated 1764 and held by The Library Company of Philadelphia, which was co-founded by Franklin, shows Franklin wearing an unusual pair of eyeglasses resembling bifocals.

Read: Now and Ben: The Modern Inventions of Benjamin Franklin, by Gene Barretta
-- What would you do if you lived in a community without a library, hospital, post office, or fire department? If you were Benjamin Franklin, you would set up these organizations yourself. Franklin also designed the lightning rod, suggested the idea of daylight saving time, invented bifocals and the odometer — all inspired by his common sense and intelligence. Franklin wrote, in August 1784 to his friend George Whatley, he was happy in the invention of double spectacles, which serving for distant objects as well as near ones, make my eyes as useful to me as ever they were.

A Thousand Pioneers Head West (1843)
-- On May 22, 1843, some 1,000 men, women, and children climbed aboard their wagons and steered their horses west out of the small town of Elm Grove, Missouri. The train comprised more than 100 wagons with a herd of 5,000 oxen and cattle trailing behind. Dr. Elijah White, a Presbyterian missionary who had made the trip the year before, served as a guide.

Read: Roughing It on the Oregon Trail, by Diane Stanley, Holly Berry
-- What if you could close your eyes and open them to find you were amongst hundreds of pioneers in 1843, packing up your covered wagon to travel the 2,000 miles of the Oregon Trail? In their first journey, the twins spend eight months crossing the country on foot and by covered wagon, braving the mountain ranges and river valleys, battling floods and droughts, and cooking slam-johns and sowbellies over buffalo chips.


• Westward Ho The Wagons! -- The Stephen wagon train journeys to the Northwest Territory via the Oregon Trail in 1844. The pioneers deal with the elements and occasional raids, but after hostile Pawnees drive off their spare horses, they realize they may not make it to the Oregon Territory. While stopping at Fort Laramie, the pioneer children make friends with Sioux children. After the Sioux chief's son is injured in an accident, Doc Grayson helps heal him, earning the trust of the Sioux. As the story ends, the Sioux warriors escort the wagon train safely through Pawnee territory.

• The Learning Company - Oregon Trail -- Explore the West, live the adventure, and survive the trail! Kids will build real-life decision-making and problem-solving skills as they choose their wagon party and supplies, read maps, plan their route, and guide their team through the wilderness. Can they survive the dangers of the long journey, raging rivers, buffalo stampedes, sickness, and starvation? The trail explodes with adventure as you face the rugged challenges and experience real-life events.
