Today's episode of The Write Team Daily returns to September 7, 1876, when the notorious James-Younger Gang rode into Northfield, Minnesota, expecting another easy bank robbery. Instead, ordinary citizens grabbed their guns, fought back, and helped destroy one of the most feared outlaw gangs in American history—all while the robbers escaped the bank with just $26.70.
Then, celebrate Labor Day, discover how “Uncle Sam” became a nickname for the United States, revisit Philo Farnsworth's breakthrough in electronic television, remember the beginning of the Blitz over London, and look back at the 1996 shooting of rap icon Tupac Shakur.
Plus, relive the unbelievable day four golfers made holes-in-one on the same hole, celebrate the birthday of The Simpsons voice legend Julie Kavner, remember football innovator Pop Warner, and continue our “6:7” devotional journey with the 67th verse of Ruth—Ruth 4:4—and a powerful picture of redemption, responsibility, and God's providence.
