![]() ![]() We wandered back into a fatal Alaskan odyssey and over the rainbow. Thanks for joining us this summer as we revisited some of the 200,000 memorable lives featured in The New York Times’s archive. Read the obituary “Louis Armstrong, Jazz Trumpeter and Singer, Dies” The date he (and everyone else) celebrated was, as the old saying goes, close enough for jazz. And, as it turned out, it wasn’t true: According to later research, he had actually been born on Aug. That this quintessential American success story was born on July 4, 1900, always seemed too perfect to be true. His front-page Times obituary noted that “he had observed his 71st birthday on Sunday,” just two days earlier. Louis Armstrong died at his home in Queens on July 6, 1971.

Note: Before the crafting system was added, Enchantment Points used to be gained when disenchanting a duplicate piece of equipment.
