Non-musical history for today: 1867 – At Tremont Temple in Boston, British author Charles Dickens gave his first public reading in the United States. It was for A Christmas Carol and Pickwick Papers. He actually recited and performed A Christmas Carol at the Parker House Hotel (where he had an apartment) first, and then to the public at Tremont Temple. I stayed at the Omni Parker House in Boston and loved it. It is where both the Boston Cream Pie and Parker House rolls originated, too.
