On November 29, 1895, only a couple newspapers printed about today's featured famous event from the day before. At the time it wasn't that big of a deal, but it turned out to be the first of many, many events like this one all over the world. And, the event was quite entertaining so I couldn't help but tell you all about it -- along with three additional history stories from the same day.

But, if they'd known how big the moment would eventually be, I'm sure all the newspapers would have printed that Yellowstone National Park had just become the first official national park in the United States of America. So, what were the newspapers writing about instead?
