What do you know about Dracula? Check this out. Vlad III Dracula (Also known as Vlad Ţepeş /tse'pesh/ or Vlad the Impaler), lived November/December, 1431 - December, 1476, reigned as Prince of Wallachia 1448, 1456-1462 and 1476. He was born in Sighişoara, Transylvania. Thanks to his rule, Wallachia preserved its independence in relation with the Ottoman threat. He is known in Turkish as Kaziglu Bey, or "the Impaler Prince", and is a popular folk hero in Romania and Moldova even today. However, he was a savage ruler - his enemies were impaled, hence his nickname. The Dracula that we know was based on Vlad and was written by Bram Stoker and published in 1897.

1901 - Capital punishment: Leon Czolgosz, the assassin of US President William McKinley, is executed by electrocution. Say hello to Old Sparky Leon.
1929 - Great Depression begins: Black Tuesday - The New York Stock Exchange crashes, ushering in what will be a world-wide economic crisis.
1945 - At Gimbels Department Store in New York City the first ballpoint pens go on sale (price: $12.50 each). That would be like $7,423 today. Wow!!!
