Happy Birthday to John Trumbull! In 1817, President James Madison commissioned from him “four paintings commemorative of the most important events of the American Revolution.” Trumbull's four works are on display in the Capitol Rotunda today.

Apropos of the birthday of the great Willie Mays: I am reading the classic Glory of Their Times (an oral history of deadfall players conducted in the 1960s) and the old timers benchmark for the greatest current player at time of interview was without exception Willie Mays.

Happy Birthday to the Bard! On this day (we believe), English playwright and poet William Shakespeare was born. One of the most translated authors of all time, his work is beloved worldwide. Do you have a favorite play or poem from #Shakespeare? librarything.com/author/shak…

On 4/14/1935, residents of Eastern Colorado experienced Black Sunday, one of the biggest storms to ever hit during the Dust Bowl. From 1934-1941, hundreds of dust storms blew the dried out and overplowed topsoil from farmland in the Great Plains all the way to the East Coast.
