Giuseppe "Pino" Pinelli, born on this day in 1928, was a railroad worker and anarchist organizer possibly murdered by Italian police following fascist bombings in Milan. He died in 1969 by falling out of a window while in police custody.
On this day in 1837, in what has been described as "one of the most disgraceful acts in American military history", Seminole leader Osceola was captured by U.S. forces after he was tricked into meeting for "peace talks".
