1803 Joseph Aloysius Hansom – British architect. In 1834 he invented the Patent Safety Cab, a 2-wheeled, horse-driven cab with the driver seated above and behind the passengers, known as the Hansom Cab. Where would Sherlock and Dr. Watson be without them?

So, so right, HB. I've heard the name Aloysius before, but I can't think where. Now it's going to drive me nuts.

1881 A vacant lot near the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, was the scene of one of the most notorious gunfights in the history of the Old West.

I visited Tombstone several years back with my senior group. The gunfight was re-created too (of course.) I took a tour of Boot Hill. We were only there for a short time, but I had a good time.
