I just got this idea from Anna's Musings and thought it would be fun to do. If any one wants to join the fun just go here and type in your birthday.
My birthday was July 1st.
Some events were...
1858 - The joint reading of Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace's papers on evolution to the Linnean Society. (too bad we don't have a time machine to change things a little )
1862 - American Civil War: The Battle of Malvern Hill takes place, the final battle in the Seven Days Campaign, part of the George B. McClellan's Peninsula Campaign.
1963 - ZIP Codes are introduced for United States mail.
1979 - Sony introduces the Walkman.
Some things on the list I was not happy to share my birthday with.

1906 - Estée Lauder, American entrepreneur (d. 2004)
1961 - Diana, Princess of Wales (d. 1997)
