What all happened in 1875?

Does anyone know of a good website where I can pick a year, and find the events that occured then? like say 1875? I've found quite a few that let you search by day, but not year.




So I'm MC'ing a Valentines banquet on friday (yes, I know valentines was last week) and the theme is pioneers, (the Little house on the prairies kind) Know any good jokes and/or stories that would be applicable?
Thanks
 
Overheard at a restaurant near Truckee in the Sierra Mountains:
"Donner, party of eight..."
(pause)
"Excuse me, Donner, party of seven. Your table is ready."

Two Donner's were sitting by a fire. The first says,"Gee,I hate my mother-in-law." The 2nd replies, "So, try the potatoes.

What do Donner's eat for dessert? Chocolate covered aunts.
 
A cowboy pulls into a small western town. He gets off his horse, ties it to the hitching post and then walks around to the back of the horse where he proceeds to lift the horses tail and then kiss it squarely on its ass!

A local town's person happens to see this and asks "What the HELL did you do THAT for?"

And the cowboy replies "I have chapped lips."

The resident says "That cures chapped lips!?"

The cowboy says "No, but it keeps me from licking them!"
 
I think I might be able to work this in somewhere:


A man from the city is out plowing his field and gets his tractor stuck in the wet ground.

A farmer driving by stops his truck and walks to the fence to call over the city feller. You need a mule to plow such wet ground he says.

"Where can I buy one?" he is asked.

Well, I just happened to have one for 100 dollars he says.

"I'll take him," says the other man as he counts out the money.

I can't bring him over today. I don't work on Sunday morrow OK?

"Sure."

The next day the truck pulls up and the old farmer gets out. He says, "sorry, bad news."

I went out after breakfeast and the mule was dead.

The city feller says just give me my money back then.

"Can't, spent it already!"

"Well... unload the mule then."

"What ya gonna do with him?"

"Raffle him off!"

"Naw, ya cant raffle off a dead mule!"

"Just watch me us! City fellers know a few tricks."

One month goes by and the city feller and farmer run into each other at the barber shop.

"What did ya do with that dead mule?"

"Raffled him off, sold 100 tickets at two dollars each and made 98 dollars profit."

"Didn't anyone complain?"

"Just one guy so I gave him his two dollars back!"

 
Three cowboys were hanging out in the bunkhouse. "I know that smart aleck Tex," said the first. "He's going to start bragging about that new foreign car he bought as soon as he gets back."

"Not Tex," the second cowboy replied. "He'll always be just a good ol' boy. When he walks in, I'm sure all he'll say is hello."

"I know Tex better than either of you," said the third. "He's so smart, he'll figure out a way to do both. Here he comes now." Tex swung open the bunkhouse door and shouted, "Audi, partners!"
