An extensive list of birthdays of famous people from Julius Caesar to the notables of today, and noteworthy events from the earliest recorded times to the present. Arranged in some 15,000 entries presented chronologically for each day from January 1 through the 366 days of the year to December 31, these accounts are divided into twelve chapters, one devoted to each month. Each chapter begins with a brief discussion of that month's history, how it got its name, and other pertinent facts. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
