Today in History, July 12th:

[Video]

Highlights of this day in history: Julius Caesar born; Walter Mondale taps Geraldine Ferraro as the first woman to run on a major party ticket for the White House; Boris Yeltsin quits the Soviet Communist Party; Comedian Bill Cosby born.

Other notable July 12th events include:

1804 – Former United States Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton dies after being shot in a duel.

1812 – War of 1812: The United States invades Canada at Windsor, Ontario.

1862 – The Medal of Honor is authorized by the United States Congress.

1962 – The Rolling Stones perform their first ever concert, at the Marquee Club in London.

Just to be clear for those who don’t get the attribution, the video is not original with me. It was created by the Associated Press, and is hosted on YouTube. The July 12th link goes to Wikipedia, and is edited by just about everybody.
