Thirteen years after American settlers founded the city
named for him, Chief Seattle died in a nearby village of
his people.

Born sometime around 1790, Seattle (Seathl) was a chief
of the Duwamish and Suquamish tribes who lived around
the Pacific Coast bay that is today called Puget Sound.

Jesuit missionaries introduced Chief Seattle to Catholicism,
and he became a devout believer. He died in 1866 at the
approximate age of 77.

On June 7, 1942, the Battle of Midway—one of the most
decisive U.S. victories in its war against Japan—came to
an end. In the four-day sea and air battle, the outnumbered
U.S. Pacific Fleet succeeded in destroying four Japanese
aircraft carriers with the loss of only one of its own, the
Yorktown, thus reversing the tide against the previously
invincible Japanese navy.

Twenty-three years after its 1948 premiere, "The Ed Sullivan
Show" had its final broadcast on June 6, 1971.

For more than two decades, Sullivan’s variety show was the
premiere television showcase for entertainers of all stripes,
including borscht-belt comedians, plate-spinning vaudeville
throwbacks and, most significantly, some of the biggest and
most current names in rock ‘n’ roll.

In its first eight years of existence, there was no such thing as
rock ‘n’ roll to be featured on the program originally called
"Toast of the Town," yet even its first broadcast made music
history when Broadway composers Richard Rodgers and
Oscar Hammerstein II gave the world its first taste of the score
from their upcoming musical, South Pacific.
