This Day in History: May 26th

This Day in History: President Lincoln gives us "Big Sky Country" by naming the Montana Territory to the Union, 1864; the country "gets down to business" as The Wall Street Journal prints its first edition, 1896; Bram Stoker gives the world a scare as his novel "Dracula" goes on sale to the public, 1897; Henry Ford and his son Edsel take a ride out the doors of the automobile plant on the last Model-T, which had become enormously popular, but was losing sales to other models such as the Chevrolet by an upstart company named General Motors, 1927; Harvey Haddix of the Pittsburgh Pirates pitches 12 perfect innings of baseball- a feat that had never been done before- but still loses to Lew Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves- who had a no-hitter at that point- in one of the most exciting pitching duels ever seen by sports fans in America, 1959
