The October 14 page focuses on Sarah Winnemucca (who died at her sister's home in Henry's Lake, Nevada on October 14, 1891) and William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania (who was born on October 14, 1644, in London, England). Now that's an interesting combination...
Of the former:
Winnemucca was the first Native American woman known to secure a copyright and to publish in the English language. Her book, Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims, is an autobiographical account of her people during their first forty years of contact with explorers and settlers.
Her book is still in print, by the way.
