0:10 Hello everyone, I am Jeff and welcome to history. In fact, it is about today, presented by Cool Media. Today's August the fifteenth. Today is National Lemon meringue Pie Day. Pretty basic. The crust is made from golden shortbread, the filling is lemon curd, and it's topped with meringue. Meringue. It's just beaten eggwags with sugar attitude. Around one thousand people started using as lemons as desserts, and the French they invented meringue around seventeen hundreds. Americans they combined the two of them, and lemon meringue pie recipes start out in Bucks around eighteen sixty nine. Now it's about as healthy a pie as you're gonna be able to get. So enjoy the winning days of summer with some lemon ring pie today.

1:09 All right, let's see that happened in entertainment on August fifteenth. Let's go back to hear. Two thousand and nine number one album was Lo Soce Wave by Fabulous. The Black Eyed Peas had the number one song with I Got a Feeling. Not said nine. Let's let me up, I got my money, Let's pet me up. Go out of spash, not o my car jump up that. So for let's get it.

The top movie was District nine, an extraternial extraterrestrial lace. They're forced to live in the slums on Earth. Now they're fighting back and stars Shrido Copley, Jason Cope, and David James. Nineteen sixty nine, the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair began. It was at a farm near Bethel, New York.

2:32 He's young to tell me, what's that you see? Marching to the fields of Ghettisburg. Looks like Hanson Johnny with a flint clock in the town, maunching to the Ghettosburg wall. Re marching to the ghettos Wall. That was Richie Haven. He was the opening act at Woodstock. Wasn't supposed to be Now the band Sweetwater. They were supposed to kick it off, but they were stuck in traffic. Richie, he was hanging around backstage, just hoping that somebody had the spot for him to open up. He didn't think he was going to play. The organizer said, hey, rich you get there out there on stage now, Sweetwater. They did get a play when they finally showed up, though. All right. What happened in August the fifteenth the Mayflower it set sail from Southampton, England, on its way to down America.

3:17 Took him sixty six days across the Atlantic Ocean. Now, they start out with a sister ship called the Speedwell, but a couple of days into the voyage, the Speedwell started leaking the water. Yeah, so they transferred their passengers on the Mayflower, and then they went back to England. One hundred and two pilgrims made it over to America. Half of them died that first winter. Eighteen forty eight. Waldough Hotchett he invented the dental chair. Now we talked about this before, is about how they had that big ceremony and drove in the golden spike at Promontory Point in Utah. Represented the completion of the first trans continental a rare one. It was across the United State, and I pointed out that that was fake news. So you still had to get off a train across the Missouri River in a boat and then get on another train. But today, in eighteen seventy the first trains Continental RAVERD was actually completed. Finished it up in Strasburg, Colorado. Now for the first time you really could take a train across the country without getting off. Strasburg gets only six miles from US here at Cole Media. Yeah, they had just finished Strasburg Days. They celebrate that big weekend every year commemorating the historic event, biggest thing that happened to Strasbourg every year. The United States they gave the Sioux Indians the Black Hills in South Dakota. Yeah, they used it for their reservation. United States. Okay, we're gonna honor the fact that the Sue Nation claims that the Black Hills are traditional hunting grounds for a long long time.

4:32 So the US said they could stay there as long as they wanted. If they stayed there and they didn't fight the US Army. Wow, the Sioux, they were living up to their end of the treaty. But after eight years, Yeah, the United States kicked him out in eighteen seventy six, see sus they Yeah, basically they found gold in the Black Hills, so the Sioux's had to go. Then in nineteen eighty the United States Supreme Court they did rule that the United States violated that treaty with this sue. So the US had to pay the sue nation one hundred million. The sious they refused the money. They said that that land was never for sale, so give them back the Black Yells. They'll keep your money. So Sux Nation they got no land and no money. Nineteen eleven, Chrisco went on sale. If you remember that, that made your grandma's food taste so good. Now, when you think of really rich guys, you probably think of Bezos and Musk and Gates and Zuckerberg. But there are money. It was nothing compared to this. In nineteen fourteen, the United States government asked JP Morgan. Yeah, they told them quit loaning money to countries to use it to fight in World War One. See those loans went against the United States policy of neutrality in the war. In nineteen thirty nine, in Poland, two weeks before they invaded. The German Air Force were putting on an air show.
