* On Nov. 25, 1783, nearly three months after the Treaty of Paris was signed ending the American Revolution, the last British soldiers withdraw from New York City. Four months later, the city was declared the capital of the United States. In 1790, the capital was moved to Philadelphia.

* On Nov. 24, 1849, John Froelich, inventor of the tractor, is born in Iowa. To replace dangerous steam-powered threshers that tended to start fires, Froelich created a one-cylinder gasoline machine. It could thresh more than 1,000 bushels of grain a day without starting a single fire.

* On Nov. 21, 1927, Time magazine puts the new Holland Tunnel on its cover. The tunnel runs under the Hudson River between New York City and Jersey City, New Jersey. On the first day, 51,694 vehicles paid the 50 cent toll.

* On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy is shot and killed as his motorcade drives through Dealey Plaza in Dallas.
