The Daily Rewind
On this episode, we take a journey through April 13th—a day that spans the birth of a Founding Father, the opening shots of a nation’s deadliest war, and one of NASA’s most harrowing moments in space. We start in 1743 with the birth of Thomas Jefferson, a man who would help shape the United States from its earliest days. Then we move to 1861, where the surrender of Fort Sumter marks the explosive beginning of the American Civil War. From there, we head into the 20th century—highlighting a unique coin authorized by Congress in 1904 and the reintroduction of the $2 bill during America’s bicentennial in 1976. Finally, we take a dramatic turn into space in 1970, when Apollo 13 suffers a catastrophic oxygen tank explosion, leading to the now-famous words: “Houston, we have a problem.” And of course, we couldn’t forget—it’s also National Peach Cobbler Day.
