Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 173. This time we examine the years 1844 as Charles Goodyear patents vulcanized rubber, 1219 as the Danish flag begins its journey to become the oldest national flag, 1667 as the first human blood transfusion is performed, 1877 as HenryOssian Flipper becomes the first African American to graduate Westpoint, and 1878 as the first moving pictures were caught on camera.
