October 13 in History for Kids

October 13 collects short history notes for families. The years on this page include 1474, 1703, 1843, 1881. Violent events and crimes are left off. Each line is a small true thing to ask about, not a whole lesson. February 29 is included so a leap-day birthday still has a page. Walk with the previous and next links, or open the October hub for the rest of the month.
