On This Date has the answers to these questions and so much more! Comprised of select entries from the incomparable perennial favorite Chase's Calendar of Events, this handy, fact-filled reference is packed with more than 2,000 events, milestones and trivia. Everything is in here, from special months like American Heart Month to actor Russell Crowe's birthday to the debut date of the "Peanuts" comic strip. An affordable new almanac from the creators of Chase's Calendar of Events, this fun, fact-filled calendar/almanac will fulfill the needs of amateur marketing mavens, freelance writers, and trivia buffs who need to know what happened On This Date.

Arranged day-by-day, from January 1 through December 31, the entries are American in emphasis and include humorous days (No Housework Day, Stay Home Because You're Well Day) and sponsored days and months (National Honey Month, Great American Smokeout) that aren't found in other day-by-day historical almanacs. Key features include: More than 2,000 entries; Contact information for event sponsors, including Web addresses; Complete name and subject index; Lists of movable religious and national holidays.
