Good morning.
It will be a sunny Monday with a high of seventy-four to start the week in the Whippet City.
On this day in 1876, Custer and the 7th Cavalry accompanying him at Little Big Horn were killed in action against the Sioux and Cheyenne.
The Wisconsin Historical Society lists two Badger State anniversaries on this day, from 1950 and 1966, respectively:
1950 – Korean War Starts
On this date Communist North Korea invaded the Republic of Korea. The Korean War, often called the “forgotten war,” involved more than 132,000 Wisconsinites. [Source: History Just Ahead: A Guide to Wisconsin’s Historical Markers edited by Sarah Davis McBride, p. 112]
1966 – Sheboygan Indian Mound Park Donated
On this date 15 acres of effigy mounds in Sheboygan were donated to the city by the Sheboygan Area Garden Clubs, to be maintained as a park. The mounds date to 500-750 A.D. and are shaped like deer and panthers. [Source: History Just Ahead: A Guide to Wisconsin Historical Markers edited by Sarah Davis McBride, p. 54]
