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.
