Do you know of anything that happened in the place where you were born that would stand out from regular historical events?
Does the fact that Butch Cassidy robbed the payroll in the town where I grew up count? It was a coal mining community and all the miners were waiting for their pay which was in cash. As the story was told to me, shots were fired and Butch and his gang rode off with the money. There's some disagreement among my family as to whether or not my grandfather was among the miners waiting for his pay.
Not quite as unusual as Boston's but that's my story.
