Thursday Thirteen #37
I don't feel the creative list making vibe today so for this week's Thursday Thirteen I am "borrowing" an an idea from Kelle!
Thirteen Things that Happened on November 81. In 1793, the Louvre opened as a public museum in Paris by the French revolutionary government. Prior to being a public museum, it was a royal palace for more than two centuries.
2. In 1864, President Lincoln was elected to his second term.
3. In 1866, the founder of the Austin Motor Company, Herbert Austin, was born in England.
4. In 1887, Doc Holliday, Old West gunslinger, gambler, and "part-time" dentist, died from tuberculosis.
5. In 1895, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen discovered x-rays.
6. In 1900, Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone with the Wind was born in Atlanta, GA.
7. In 1923, Adolf Hitler launched the Beer Hall Putsch. This was his first attempt at seizing control of the German government.
8. In 1939, the 16th anniversary of Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch, a bomb exploded just after Hitler finished giving a speech. Hitler was not harmed by the explosion.
9. In 1945, the passage of the Revenue Act of 1945 started an extensive post-war revision of the nation's tax system and cut taxes by $6 billion.
10. In 1958, the Ford Motor Company decided on the name "Edsel" for a new model in development for that market year. This model was a new addition to the Ford family of automobiles and was a tribute to Edsel Bryant Ford. Edsel served as company president from 1919 until his death in 1943.
11. In 1960, John F Kennedy was elected President.
12. In 1974, a Salt Lake City, UT resident narrowly escaped an abduction by serial killer Ted Bundy.
13. In 1992, Jacky Vranken, daredevil from Belgium, set the record for the highest speed attained while performing a wheelie on a motorcycle.

Great list. Thanks for the visit. Re: my dumb celebrity quotes - as a Brit, I'm afraid I know v.little about US politics. I know the president is a Republican, but beyond that, I have no idea of most US politicians' political affiliations, LOL. I have enough trouble keeping track of our own :). Have a happy TT!
