1775 - ETHAN ALLEN AND HIS GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS captured the British-held fortress at Ticonderoga, New York. I think they then opened up a furniture store there.

1869 - America's first transcontinental RAILROAD was finished. The final spike . . . a GOLDEN SPIKE . . . was put in ground at Promontory Summit, Utah. (--Not all that important . . . but a common Trivial Pursuit answer. You're welcome.)

1893 - The Supreme Court ruled on the case of Nix versus Hedden . . . and officially declared that a TOMATO IS A VEGETABLE, NOT A FRUIT.

1980 - The original "Friday the 13th" was released upon Camp Crystal Lake. . . featuring KEVIN BACON in a pair of Speedos!?!
