Today in History - March 8

On this day in 1782, the Gnaddenhutten Massacre took place. Nearly 100 Christian Native Americans in Gnadenhutten, Ohio were killed by Militia from Pennsylvania in a retaliatory attack for a raid that took place in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the Pennsylvania Militia attacked indians who had nothing to do with the Pennsylvania raid.

On this day in 1817, the NYSE - New York Stock Exchange was founded.

On this day in 1936, the first oval stock car race was held at the Daytona Beach Road Course.

And, in Chuckery, Ohio in 1893, Mrs. M. Loschky was on the sick list.
