Susan B. Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906) was
an American social reformer and women’s rights activist who
played a pivotal role in the women’s suffrage movement.
Born into a Quaker family in Adams, Massachusetts, committed
to social equality, she collected anti-slavery petitions at the
age of 17. In 1856, she became the New York state agent for
the American Anti-Slavery Society.

Experts say the treasure discovery is one of the largest

On May 10, 1869, the presidents of the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific railroads met in Promontory, Utah, and drive a ceremonial
last spike into a rail line that connects their railroads. This made transcontinental railroad travel possible for the first time in U.S.
history. No longer would western-bound travelers need to take
the long and dangerous journey by wagon train.

(FOXNEWS) – Around 300 pieces of silver from two Viking treasures,
with approximately 50 whole coins, were found last fall in a Danish
field at Bramslev.
The coins were located around fives miles away from the Viking
castle Fyrkat, and date back to more than a thousand years ago.
The treasures were found less than 164 feet apart, containing
the coins and cut-up silver jewelry.
North Jutland Museums said in a statement that the treasures
probably served as a means of payment by weight.
The rare trove was reportedly unearthed by a young girl with
a metal detector.
