On this day in history:
In 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted, killing approximately 20,000 people. The cities of Pompeii, Stabiae and Herculaneum were buried in volcanic ash.
In 1814, Washington, D.C., was invaded by British forces who set fire to the White House and Capitol.
In 1998, a donation of 24 beads was made to the Indian Museum of North America at the Crazy Horse Memorial. The beads are said to have been those that were used in 1626 to buy Manhattan from the Indians.
Quote for today:
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it, a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
