I think that summary skipped a few; off the top of my head it missed the Crash of 1893, the Panic of 1907, and the Hunt brothers trying to corner the silver market.

The Hunt Brothers trying to corner the sliver market....ah the good ole days. I remember my older brother going to sell his books of Washington Quarters and his Kennedy Half Dollars when silver hit $45 p/oz.
The infographic from the Wall Street Journal was in no way complete. If anyone's interested in the topic of bubbles and maniacs, "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay is the definitive treatise on the subject.
