December 3, 1979
The last Pacer rolls off the assembly line at the American Motors Corporation (AMC) factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin. When the car first came on the market in 1975, it was a sensation, hailed as the car of the future. "When you buy any other car," ads said, "all you end up with is today's car. When you get a Pacer, you get a piece of tomorrow." By 1979, however, sales had faded considerably. Today, polls and experts agree: the Pacer was one of the worst cars of all time.

12/3/1997 - South Korea received $55 billion from the International Monetary Fund to bailout its economy.
I bet 50 billion came from our pockets. |

1818 Illinois becomes the 21st state
Illinois achieves full statehood on this day. Though Illinois presented unique challenges to immigrants unaccustomed to the soil and vegetation of the area, it grew to become a bustling and densely populated state.

Dec 3, 1864 Confederate soldiers on parole from the American Civil War made a minor gold discovery near Confederate Gulch. The richest ground, however, was found at Montana Bar at the foot of Gold Hill. The roughly two acres there produced more gold per acre than any other placer claim in Montana. While one pan reportedly contained a high of $1,400 in gold, it was not uncommon to wash out $1000 from a pan full of Montana Bar gravels. A single shipment in the fall of 1866, representing a short run, weighed two tons and was valued at ca. $900,000. The best of the 200 foot claims produced $180,000 each, with the total from Montana Bar estimated at $1 million to $1.5 million. This was when pure gold was $20.67 per ounce.

1992 President George H.W. Bush orders 28,000 U.S. troops to Somalia, a war-torn East African nation where rival warlords were preventing the distribution of humanitarian aid to thousands of starving Somalis.

Dec 5, 1916 The last stagecoach robbery in American history occurs at Jarbidge Canyon, Nevada, when three robbers hold up a U.S. Post Office Department stagecoach, shoot the driver, and steal $4,000 in cash. The criminals are captured without incident soon after.
