Almanac Today Highlights Historic Milestones
On day 146 of 2011 the almanac notes the Civil War surrender of Confederate forces in 1865 and Andrew Johnson's impeachment trial failure by one vote in 1868. It lists birth anniversaries of figures such as Dorothea Lange, John Wayne, Peggy Lee, Hank Williams Jr., Sally Ride, Lenny Kravitz, Helena Bonham Carter, Matt Stone, and others. It also recalls Harvey Haddix's 1959 12 inning no hit bid that ended 1-0, Dorothea Lange's quote on photography, and the moon phase between May 24 last quarter and June 1 new moon.
