In 1887, in the year that Grace Angier was born, on May 9th, Buffalo Bill's Wild West show opened in London. Founded in 1883, the show was attended - twice - by Queen Victoria and adored by audiences who thrilled to his fanciful acts portraying life in the "Wild West."

In 1892, when she was just 5 years old, on October 12th, the "Pledge of Allegiance" was first recited in unison by students in U.S. public schools.

"Under God" was added in the 1950's.

In 1911, Grace was 24 years old when Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen became the first man to reach the South Pole, along with four fellow Norwegian explorers. After hearing that Peary had beaten him to the North Pole, Amundsen decided to tackle the South Pole. On December 14th, he succeeded.

In 1928, when she was 41 years old, aviatrix Amelia Earhart, age 31, became the first woman to fly solo across North America and back in August. In June, she had been part of a 3 man crew that flew the Atlantic Ocean but since she had no instrument training, she couldn't fly the plane - she kept the flight log. The North American flight became one of her many "firsts" as a female pilot.

In 1967, in the year of Grace Angier's passing, on October 2nd, Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as the first black US Supreme Court justice.
