This Day in American History
Edited by Ralph Mango

Since Ralph Mango assumed the role of Associate Editor, proofing and reviewing the final draft of each news edition, he has become interested in "This Day in American History."

This feature began over 40 years ago. I would include what happened on a day of the month in a birthday card that I sent to a client, friend, or vendor. Originally it was put together from various American history books as I am a history buff. It was before the internet, which brought even more opportunities, including links to footnote events that are included as reference points in many of the events listed in “This Day.”
