 | The Flight of the Horse.
As for fantasy Niven has one series of stories that centers around the fact that magic is a non-renewable resource.
In another series the character, Hanville Svets who first appeared in a 1969 story published in a magazine lives in a future where almost all animal life has become extinct. His job as a time traveler is to travel back in time and retrieve samples of extinct life.
Since time travel is impossible and therefore fantasy, when he is sent back in time to find a horse he ends up in an alternate reality where he encounters a unicorn.
In 1973 the book "The Flight of the Horse" was the first collection of Hanville's stories.

 | The golden spike.
The Jupiter made history when on May 10, 1869 the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads were joined to create the nations first trans-continental railroad. The Jupiter was not originally planned to be part of the ceremony. However the "Antelope" which was to be there was damaged in in transit. The Jupiter was nearby so it took over.
This picture was known as the "Champaign Shot". In deference to temperance feelings the bottles held in the center of the picture were retouched out of some later prints with the outstretched hands explained as a attempted handshake.

 | The grave marker of Loyal W Eldredge reads: "son of Lemuel and Patty in the 20th year of his age. Drowned in the New Haven River in the Great Flood".
Back on the island only a small spot remained above water. The Stewart family was among those left on the island. Mr. Stewart himself was blind and one of his daughters had been ill for over a year and was unable to walk. She was brought to the barn and laid on the floor. When the water came into the barn she was laid in a manger. She had stopped moving. Her brother went to the manger to comfort her but she did not respond. He put his hand to her forehead, no longer would she suffer.
The lights now extinguished, the barn shook. At that moment the Wilson house broke free of the jam and, floated by accompanied by lumber from the saw mill, wrecked buildings, and bridges. It was like a moving mountain, accompanied by the screams of the trapped women and children. The screams quickly became lost in the roar of the water.
Five of the men left in the barn constructed a hasty raft from the doors and other loose lumber in the barn. They shoved off but their efforts to reach the shore were in vain as the current was far to strong. Soon after they left the barn began to collapse. It didn't fall all at once. While one end was shattered the other still clung to the foundation. Inside the occupants were climbing through the wrecked rafters to avoid the rising water, save for Mrs. Stewart who's foot was crushed and trapped under a collapsed beam. The swells were now twenty-seven feet above the normal level of the stream. Mrs. Stewart's son was attempting to free his mother when the barn's hold on the earth gave out. As if it was happening in slow motion the wrecked barn rose and was then swallowed by the water.
The makeshift raft wasn't faring much better. One of the swells grabbed it and pulled it under, passengers and all. Among the passengers were Lemuel Barrows Eldredge (1799-1864) and his son Loyal (1811-1830). Loyal being an expert swimmer headed straight for the surface. A fatal mistake as he met his end being battered by timbers and debris swept up by the water.
Lemuel caught in an undertow was dragged down, he took several blows to the head and other parts of his body. Suddenly he was driven in contact with someone else from the raft. The body was cold and lifeless, it was his son! Just as quickly as they came into contact he was ripped away. Being unable to remain below any longer he headed to the surface. Fortunately the waters had calmed somewhat at this point. He grabbed a plank and caught his breath. After about three quarters of a mile he was caught among the debris on the bank. Exhausted he remained there until help arrived in the morning.
Several others were likewise fortunate enough to survive. It took time to recover all the bodies. Little Sarah Hale Wilson (1827-1830) was the last to be found forty days after that terrible night and nine miles from where she disappeared.

 | The Haarlem Archaeopteryx.
In 1970 Ostrom studied a long forgotten fossil that had been misidentified as a type of pterodactyl. He thought the fossil was an Archaeopteryx so he renamed the fossil the Haarlem Archaeopteryx as it belonged to the Teylers Museum in Haarlem, Netherland.
Ostrom began to argue that dinosaurs were not extinct and what remained of them now lived among us as birds. At the time this was a radical view that very few paleontologist gave any serious thought to.
In 2017 Christian Foth and Oliver Rauhut studied the fossil and found enough differences from the Archaeopteryx to declare it a separate species. They named it Ostromia in John's honor. It is so far the only fossil of it's species to have been found.

 | The Hive of the Averys.
About 1656 Captain James Avery (1620-1700) built a house in the area that would eventually become Groton, Connecticut. The home became known as "The Hive of the Averys". It was occupied by Captain James's decedents for a stunning (proximate) 238 years! Sadly on July 20, 1894 a spark from a passing locomotive started a fire on it's roof and the home was destroyed.
