Geocache Description:


February 12 – The electric car belonging to Henry Lindfield of Brighton runs away on a hill in Purley, London, England, and hits a tree; thus he becomes the world's first fatality from an automobile accident on the public highway.
April 5 – Annie Oakley promotes the service of women in combat situations with the United States military. On this day, she writes a letter to President McKinley "offering the government the services of a company of 50 'lady sharpshooters' who would provide their own arms and ammunition should war break out with Spain." In the history of women in the military, there are records of female U.S. Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers who enlisted using male pseudonyms, but Oakley's letter represents possibly the earliest political move towards women's rights for combat service in the United States military.
July 25 – Spanish-American War: The United States invasion of Puerto Rico begins with a landing at Guánica Bay.

The best approach for this series is from the North. These are Log only Caches - Enjoy!

Special thanks to Team Stevecat for their hard work in creating the 100 series of history GeoCaches. There is so much more history to be learned out here. Let's continue the series into the 1800s folks and allow others to learn in the process of finding them all. Cheers! -Bryon
