About This Book
A daily chronological compendium of notable anniversaries, listing births, deaths, battles, and other events for each day of the year from ancient times through the mid-19th century. Entries are concise and arranged by month and day, supplemented by cross-references and indices to names and military operations. The compiler discusses challenges from conflicting sources and calendar reforms, attempts to reconcile dates to the modern style where practicable, and stresses brevity while acknowledging limits to certainty in some entries.
