The History & On This Day (education, trivia)

REVIEWED BY:

MY RECOMMENDATION:

AMAZON SUBSCRIPTION LINK: The History and On This Day blog, by Media Services

WEB ADDRESS: Can't find

BLOG DESCRIPTION: If you love to read, this blog will present you with a wealth of information on the past. Certainly a blog that history buffs will enjoy. On This Day is updated daily. And past weather and history stories will be posted twice a week.

On This Day In History updated daily.
Past weather and history stories posted each week.
Weird news stories from the past posted each week.
Weird or strange facts posted weekly.
Biographies posted monthly.

MY REVIEW: This is a fun blog. It gives the happenings on each day, for a number of years.

On May 1, 1805, for example, the state of Virginia passed a law requiring all freed slaves to leave the state, or risk either imprisonment or deportation.

On May 1, 1863, the Battle of Chancellorsville began.

On May 1, 1877, U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes withdrew all Federal troops form the south, ending Reconstruction.

This is one of several blogs that gives the exact same information - I suspect they all get it from one feed - which I couldn't find. I suppose it's all available at Wikipedia. However, it's nice to have it delivered directly to your Kindle every day, so its worth checking out.
