Title: This day in American history
First published: 1990
Description: "With each day of the year, some anniversary from American history comes and goes. From January 10, 1776, the day Thomas Paine published his now-famous, "Common Sense," to December 20, 1998, when 27-year-old Nkem Chukwu, delivered the last of the only surviving octuplets in history, the calendar is rife with historic events - some celebrated, others widely unknown - from the early, middle, and later days of the Republic.".

"This book, a trove of valuable facts for teachers, students, and history aficionados, presents hundreds of years of information - reaching back even to the nation's prehistory to commemorate, for instance, the birth of Amerigo Vespucci - in an easy-to-use, day-by-day format with full coverage for each of the 365 days."--BOOK JACKET.
