1๏ธโฃ Today in 1854 Florence Nightingale was sent with a staff of 38 nurses to the Crimean War. This is what the website said about Florence Nightingale: โFlorence Nightingale was an English nurse known for her activities during the Crimean War, for which she earned the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp" after her late-night rounds to care for wounded soldiers. She was also a pioneer in statistics, inventing the Nightingale rose diagramโa predecessor to the modern pie chart. Nightingale was responsible for modernizing nursing and setting high standards for sanitation, which ultimately saved countless lives.โ2๏ธโฃ Today in 1959 the Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, opened in New York City.
