This Day…
October 19, 1770. Dined at Col. Croghans abt. 4 Miles from Pittsburg & returnd.[1]
October 19th , 1770: This day’s entry in the second diary notes that GW “Recd. A Message from Col. Croghan that the White Mingo & other Chiefs of the 6 Nations had something to say to me, & desiring that I woud be at his House abt. 1 1. (Where they were to meet) I went up and receivd a Speech with a String of wampum from the White Mingo to the following effect.
“That as I was a Person who some of them remember to have seen when I was sent on an Embassy to the French, and most of them had heard of: they were come to bid me welcome to the Country, and to desire that the People of Virginia woud consider them as friends & Brothers linked together in one chain—that I wd. Inform the Governor, that it was their wish to live in peace and harmy, with the white People, & that tho their had been some unhappy differences between them and the People upon our Froniers, it was all made up, and they hopd forgotten; and concluded with saying, that, their Brothers of Virginia did not come among them and Trade as the Inhabitants of the other Provences did, from whence they were aifraid that we did not look upon them with so friendly an Eye as they coud wish.
“To this I answerd (after thanking them for their friendly welcome) that all the Injuries & Affronts that had passd on either side was not totally forgotten, and that I was sure nothing was more wishd and desird by the People of Virginia than to live in the strictest friendship with them. That the Virginians were a People not so much engagd in Trade as the Pensylvanians, &ca., wch. was the Reason of their not being so frequently among them; but that it was possible they might for the time to come have stricter connections with them, and that I woud acquaint the Govr. with their desires.”
The White Mingo (Conengayote) was a Six Nations chief of some importance in this area.
The second diary entry for this day also notes that “After dining at Cob. Croghan we returnd to Pittsburg—Colo. Croghan with us, who intended to accompany us part of the Way down the River, having engaged an Indian calld the Pheasant & one Joseph Nicholson an Interpreter to attend us the whole Voyage. Also a young Indn. Warrior.” The Pheasant had attended the Indian congress at Fort Stanwix in 1768 with a delegation of i6 warriors. He may have been an Oneida. GW paid the Pheasant and the young warrior £io 13s. for their services on the trip to the Ohio [2]
October 19, 1772
In consequence of orders from General Gage, the garrison are preparing to depart. They have begun to destroy the fortress. This is matter of surprise & grief to the people around, who have requested that the fortress may stand, as a place of security to them, in case in Indian invasion. I asked one of the officers, the reason of their destroying a Fort, so necessary to the safety of the frontiers? He replied, “The Americans will not submit to the british Parliament, and they may now defend themselves.”
Last Week, Mr. Frisbie & Mr. Plummer & myself rode to Col. Croghern’s to dine. Afternoon called on Major Ward.Mentioned to the Col. The affair of the war belt. He has, I find, the ill will of the people in this quarter, principally on account of his claims to great tracts of land, which others claim.
Reports have arrived of several whites being murdered by the Indians, down the Ohio.[3]
October 19, 1781: But now, desperate as our affairs seemed in the west, the star of hope had risen in the east. The power of England was broken. The battle of Yorktown had been fought-October 19, 1781-peace between the colonies and mother country was at hand,"52[4] and the old warrior thought the time propitious to lay
aside the sword, and return to the bosom of his family. As a soldier of the Revolution, Crawford had now served his country
six years, and sought retirement. Though placed on the retired list, he would still hold his commission, and stand ready to re-
spond to the calls of his country whenever and wherever his services might really be needed. The exposed condition of the
frontier settlements was ever before him, nor could he turn a deaf ear to the cries of the lonely settlers.[5]

October 19, 1811: By October 19, rations were cut and remained so until October 28 when fresh supplies arrived via the Wabash River from Vincennes. With the army resupplied, Harrison resumed his advance to Prophetstown on October 29.[12][13][9]
October 19, 1864: The 18th Cav was part of the Confederate force that guarded the Shenandoah Valley in 1863 and 1864. It participated in the Valley Campaign of 1864, including the Battle of New Market (May 15), the Second Battle of Kernstown (July 24), the Third Battle of Winchester (September 19), the Battle of Cedar Creek (October 19) and remained in the Valley, usually the Page Valley in the east of the larger Shenandoah Valley, through the rest of the year, participating in several less-consequential engagements, and losing about forty percent of its members, killed, wounded, captured.
That winter Gen. Early dispersed the men of the 18th Cav to their home counties and in January-February 1865 the 18th did not act as a unified force. It was called together again when Sheridan moved up the Valley, but was unable to assemble before Early’s defeat at Waynesboro (March 2, 1865). The 18th performed scouting and picket duty in the central Valley in March. After Lee’s surrender in April, members of the 18th, individually and in small groups, surrendered at Winchester and Moorefield and received their paroles.[10]
October 19, 1864: Battle of Cedar Creek, VA.[11]

October 1908: James F. Goodlove was indicted for shooting in the back and killing on August 6 Percy Stuckey, alias Frank McCormick; convicted of manslaughter by Wyandot County Court of Common Pleas and sentenced to 15 years at hard labor in Ohio penitentiary. Conviction upheld by Circuit Court, but reversed by Ohio Supreme Court on June 28, 1910 on the basis of an error in the indictment. Court said Goodlove was indicted for the murder of “Percy Stuckey, alias Frank McCormick,” but prosecution had not demonstrated that Stuckey existed; prosecution’s evidence showed he had killed McCormick, not Stuckey. Goodlove was released.[19]
October 1912: First Sunday of October 1912: The Reverend Gilbert J. Chalice was born in Plymouth, England, but his age and other details of his life before he and wife arrived in Hopkinton in 1912 are lacking. According to church records, Chalice was selected as one of 13 from among 180 candidates to be sent by the Methodist Church of England to Ontario, Canada, for further seminary training and “pioneer service” on the Canadian prairies for the Home Mission Board of Canada.[20] From Ontario he was sent directly to the Wesley Seminary n Winnipeg. After graduating, he spent a few months preaching in rural parishes on a circuit on the Canadian prairies, before switching to “city work.” It is not clear when he immigrated to the U.S., but he joined the Iowa Methodist Conference in 1909, where he apparently remained in a city church until he was assigned to the Hopkinton and Buck Creek charges in October 1912. He was about thiry five years of age at this time.
Upon arriving in Hopkinton, Chalice set out to build up both Methodist parishes in his charge. It was clear almost from the start, however, that he though his talents and interests could be better deployed in the Buck Creek Church. In Hopkinton, the Presbyterian church was clearly the dominant church, a fact reinforced by the presence and prestige of Lenox College and Academy, both Presbyterian affiliated. Presbyterianism was overwhelmingly the faith subscribed to by the social and economic elite of Hopkinton. The Methodist Epicopal Church in Hopkinton lacked the status enjoyed by the Presbyterians and tended to be more the church of laborer and faremer in Hopkinton and much of the surrounding rural area.
The Buck Creek Church was five miles west of Hopkintron and vied with the Hopkinton church for parishioners in the area in between. Chalice’s first impressions of the Buck Creek Church were decidedly unfavorable. As he put it, the “Buck Creek Church…had almost ceased to function. The church was picturesquely situated, nestled among the trees which were gay with autumn foliage. Buck Creek, from which the church was named, fed by manyt springs flowing from the surrounding hills, gurgled and splashed nearby.”
To his eyes, however, the church was hardly in keeping with its surroundings. Thjere were evidences of neglect on every hand. The old wooden approach was in such a dilapidated condition that one had to take care, on entering, lest the boards five way beneath the feet. In the surrounding yard, which was filled with weeds, the “tie posts” were staggering under the pressure of the years.
The church was a simple structure. Just a typical, old fashioned, one room building, with old time pews and inevitable stoves. Oil lamps, uncleaned and murky, gave forth a feebl light, when any light was required.
Nevertheless, Chalice claimed that as he faced his congregation that first time he began to see the true potential of the rural church in community rebuilding. “Although the church, feeble in its ministry to the community and decadent in appearance, had fallen down on its job, there still existed a most remarkable community spirit. “For in that congregation was a large percentage of young people, bright, keen and intelligent, who were only waiting until they should be assigned some definite task to rebuild the community.”
Chalice set to work to gain the attention and attract the interest of as many people as possible in the Buck Creek Church. He did this by conducgting a series of Methodist camp meetings during which he preached every night for three weeks (including the three Sundays he had to return to Hopkihngon for morning services). Many farm families from the surrounding area pitched their tents on land reserved for that purpose down by the creek. Although billed as “special community meetings” directed at the farm families in the area, they were old fashioned religious revivals, intentionally evangelistic in tone and content. Many came out of curiosity to see the new preacher and his wife and to see how “old time” religion sounded when delivered with an English accent.[21]
Having aroused the curiosity of people in the area and having captured their attention, Chalice began preparations to launch a program of church revitalization and rural community building. In this work he drew heavily on the writings of American theologians and rural sociologists linked closely to the Country Life movement, his philosophy was a complex mixture of traditional Methodism, progressivism, and agrarian utopianism. In one sermon he declared
The farmer is a custodian of the ntion’s morality with rural people more susceptible to religious influence because he works in God’s soil therefore a great need lies in the pastor’s endeavor to supply spiritual help and assist to the higher life. Every rural community has a social craving and this must be satisfied if boys and girls are to be kept on the land. This also calls for attractive homes. No woman should yearn for the city when we equip the home with convience and labor saving devices… With the aid of horticulture, domestic science, and household economics the farm home can he “Heaven on Earth.”[22]
Chalice focused first on rekindling interest in the church among Methodist patriarchs and their wives. He created a men’s club, the Buck Creek Brotherhood and, with the help of Mrs. Chalice, reinvigorated the Ladies Aid Society. He also secured their financial support for establishing a localchapter of the Epworth chapter, he hoped to develop the lay leadership nev cessary for the long run viability of the church. The chapter was especially active in presenting weekly lectrures, often delivered by agricultural experst affiliated with the State Agricultural College on topics thought to be of special interest to farmers. Initially however, attendance at these and at Sunday services was disappointingly low.
Seeking a reason for the low attendance, Chalice decided to conduct a “community survey,” then being widel touted by experts as the first step to be taken in any effort of a rural church to expand its service to the community it hoped to serve and revitalize. Almost all households in Union Township and mnanby in the eastern half of Hazel Green Township, Protestant and Catholics alike, were canvassed. In analyzing the reasons people gave for not attending church regularly, Chalice was surprised to discover that man respondents pointed to inconveniences associated with the inadequacy of the church’s facilities and grounds and to the generally poor condition of the road leading to the church. This provided the impetus for the Buck Creek Brotherhood to form a committee and apply to the County Board of Supervisors for a grant to cover the costs of material necessary to improve the road. Men in the church donated the necessary labor and even went so far as to “lay a fine strip of macadam, up to the very church door.” At Chalice’s behest, the Brotherhood completed a number of other projects to improve the appearance and safety of the church building and grounds, thereby removing the major excuse, if not cause, for poor church attendance.[23]
The church introduced new programs designed to appeal to children. The Sunday school was reorganized into grades and “senior class” divisions comparable to the way in which the public schools of the larger towns were structured. Before the end of Chalic’s first year, Sunday school enrollments had increased fromn 52 to 85 and church membership had risen to 87.[24]
Third Sunday in October 1912: It was clear that there was work to be done at Buck Creek Church. Of all the things which were lacking, none was more sorely needed than leadership. The new pastor set to work. A series of special comminuty g which were distinctly evangelistic brought out a good attendance. But the first signs of real awakening came after three weeks of preaching, when a few people were received into the church. This was a start, but there were bigger things to be done.[25]
October 1918: The flu kills 195,000 Americans. It was the deadliest month in our nations history.[26]
June 1920 to October 1921: Within a little over a year, that is, in the period between June 1920 when the contract was entered upon, and October 1921, when the Klan was investigated by Congress, the Klan had grown from a few thousand to something like 100,000 members. Clarke, aided by Mrs. Tyler, had applied to Klan promotion the skill acquired through long experience. The country was divided into some eight or more “domains,” or geographjical areas, such as Soutest, Southwest, Northeast, the Mississippi Valley, the Pacific Coast. Each “domain” was divided into “realms,” or states. The head of the promotion department as a whode was Imperial Kleagle E. Y. Clarke. The head of the “domain” was called a Grand Goblin. The head of the “realm,” or state, was called a king Kleagle and the house to house solicitors, or legwork men, were called Kleagles.[27]
October 1920 to October 1921: This period of remarkable expansion was accompanied by a wave of lawlessness and crime which, rightly or wrongly, was associated with the Ku Klux Klan. From October 1920 to October 1921, the New York World reported four killings, one mutilation, one branding with acid, forty one floggings, twenty seven tar and feather parties, five kidnappings, forty three individuals warned to leave town or otherwise threatened by posters, sixteen parades of masked men with warning placards. These outbreaks were characterized, generally, by two peculiarities. The “punishments” administered to individuals because of alleged violation of statute law or the demands of good morals and they were committed after nightfall by parties whose identity was concealed by masks. The name of the Ku Klux Klan was very generally associated by the public with these outrages. The New York World and many other papers asserted that for all these outrages the Klan was either directly or idirectly responsible. [28]
October 1921: Emperor Simmons emphatically denied that the Klan had anything to do with a recent series of outrages. What is of more immediate concern is that these outrages were directly responsible for the exposure by the New York World and the Congressional investigation of October 1921.[29] It was undoubtedly the convition of the New York World that a thortoughgoing exposure of the secrets of the Klan and a scathing arraignment of its methods would suffice to discredit it with the American people. In its arraignment of the Klan, however, it is a question whether this great daily did not overshoot its mark and defeat its own ends. The World overestimated the number and power of the Klan, for it talked of a membership of 500,000, and even 700,000, when Congressional investigation showed that the Klan in October 1921 numbered hardly more than 100,000. The World ascribed the success of the Klan to a skillful salesmanship of hate in that it resorted “to every ‘wrinkle’ which practical salesmanagership keeps in its box of tricks’ to make effective its appeal “to the ignorant, the cruel, the cowardly, and the vengeful.” But to assume that the remarkable spread of the Klan was due solely or mainly to its appeal to base and selfish motivesis misleading. In this vast movement, becoming cumbersome in its purposeless opportunism and swelling to hundreds of thousands during 1921 and 1922, many elements entered. A most important facor was unquestionably the system of salesmanship initiated by E. Y. Clarke. Even granting, however, that Clarke and his assistants were merely commercializing hates and prefudices, it is well to remember that men joined the Klan because it appealed to their patriotism and their moral idealism more than to their hates and prejudices. The baser motives were present, but they alone can never account for the spread of the Klan.[30]
Perhaps the fundamental mistake of the newspapers is that they failed to grasp the Klan’s real significance. The New York World described the Klan as something alien to American life, a cancer eating its way into the vitals of society. The Klan is painted as thoroughly un-American. The Klan, with equal confidence, asserts that it stands for “one hundred percent Americanism.” If the Klan were utterly un-American it could never have succeeded as it has. The Klan is not alien to American society. If it were, the problem would be much simpler. The Klan is but the recrudence of forces that already existed in American society, some of them recent, others dating from the more distant past…It is the object of this study to show that the Klan draws its inspirations from ancient prejudices, classical hatreds, and ingrained social habits. The germs of the kisease of theKlan, like in the germs in the human body, have long been present in the social organism and needed only the weakening of the social tissue to become malignant.[31]
The hope that publication of the facts would kill the Klan has not been realized. The World’s exposure was published in eighteen leading dailies, including such Southern papers as the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Houston Chronicle, Dallas News, Galvestonh News, Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun, and the Oklahoman. But since the World’s exposure and the Congressional investigation the Klan has flourished like a green bay tree and today numbers hundreds of thousands, possibly millions….
…What the press exposure and the Congressional investigation did give to the Klan was a vast amount of gratuitous and invaluable advertising.[32]
October 1921: After the Congressional investigations in October 1921, the Klan spread with amazing rapidity. The center of the Klan’s strength was not at first and never has been in the older South. It was in the great area west of the Mississippi that includes northern and eastern Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and northern Louisiana, a region which was singularly adapted to the spread of Klan ideas, that the Klan reached its first peak of success. It was early transplanted to the Pacific coast, finding ready followers in the Sacramento Valley and southern California. From California the Klan was introduced into Oregon where it soon became a factor of prime importance in the affairs of that state. More recently the Klan has met with astonishing success in the Middle West. Itr is quite possible that at present the Klan has in the two states of Ohio and Indiana over half a million followers, or more than in all the southern states east of the Mississippi. At present the Klan is showing consdifderable activity in the neighborhood of New York City, which may indicate an attempt to sytorm this stronghold of all those things to which the Klan stands opposed.[33]
October 1922: The continuing activities of the Ku Klux Klan and its influence in the Buck Creek Church produced a major crisis within the church. The matter came to a head over Grant’s retention as pastor and the amount of his (or his replacement’s) salary.
Grant had fallen out of favor with the Klan. Klan leaders in the church sought to reduce his salary, claiming that in the depressed agricultural conditions they could no longer afford to pay the highest salary in the county. As Curtis Griggs put it: “The people in the church couldn’t pay their minister but they had $10.00 to pay to join the Klan. That made much trouble in the Methodist church.” Grant left Buck Creek in October 1922 to assume the pastorate in Geneseo Township in Tama County. Geneseo Township was a Methodist place much like Buck Creek, which had in the previous year completed construction of an open country consolidated school. (Methodist churches outside of Delaware County were also active in the formation of consolidated school districts during this period. ) Grant’s replacement was O. J. Felter, a former pastor of the Colesburg Methodist Church who had been active in the drive to consolidate the schools in that area five years earlier. One widely circulated rumor at the time was that Felter was a member of the Klan.[34]
In October 1922, Mussolini led the Fascists on a march on Rome, and King Emmanuel III, who had little faith in Italy's parliamentary government, asked Mussolini to form a new government. Initially, Mussolini, who was appointed prime minister at the head of a three-member Fascist cabinet, cooperated with the Italian parliament, but aided by his brutal police organization he soon became the effective dictator of Italy. In 1924, a Socialist backlash was suppressed, and in January 1925 a Fascist state was officially proclaimed, with Mussolini as Il Duce, or "The Leader."
Mussolini appealed to Italy's former Western allies for new treaties, but his brutal 1935 invasion of Ethiopia ended all hope of alliance with the Western democracies. In 1936, Mussolini joined Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in his support of Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War, prompting the signing of a treaty of cooperation in foreign policy between Italy and Nazi Germany in 1937. Although Adolf Hitler's Nazi revolution was modeled after the rise of Mussolini and the Italian Fascist Party, Fascist Italy and Il Duce proved overwhelmingly the weaker partner in the Berlin-Rome Axis during World War II.
In July 1943, the failure of the Italian war effort and the imminent invasion of the Italian mainland by the Allies led to a rebellion within the Fascist Party. Two days after the fall of Palermo on July 24, the Fascist Grand Council rejected the policy dictated by Hitler through Mussolini, and on July 25 Il Duce was arrested. Fascist Marshal Pietro Badoglio took over the reins of the Italian government, and in September Italy surrendered unconditionally to the Allies. Eight days later, German commandos freed Mussolini from his prison in the Abruzzi Mountains, and he was later made the puppet leader of German-controlled northern Italy. With the collapse of Nazi Germany in April 1945, Mussolini was captured by Italian partisans and on April 29 was executed by firing squad with his mistress, Clara Petacci, after a brief court-martial. Their bodies, brought to Milan, were hanged by the feet in a public square for all the world to see.[35]
October 1923: As the catastrophic economic consequences of passive resistance become more visible, separatism and particularism intensify, especially in Bavaria. Radical unrest also grows. The rearming rightist bands start planning to overthrow the Republic, should it give up resistance to France. The Communists intensify their own preparations for a putsch. They hope to strike a decisive blow in October 1923 ("Red October"), six years after the successful Russian Revolution.
In the growing crisis, a grand coalition from SPD to DVP is formed under Gustav Stresemann, the DVP's chairman (August to November 1923). After hesitating for several weeks, Stresemann breaks off passive resistance on September 26,1923. President Ebert declares a national state of emergency in order to deal with the expected unrest following Stresemann's decision.
Bavarian right-wing activism, virulent, well-armed, and politically radical, is the first to challenge the Republic. In order to check the most militant rightists in Bavaria (including the Nazis), the Bavarian government forms an emergency government, practically a dictatorship, under the more moderate rightist Gustav von Kahr. Bavaria also moves toward greater autonomy from Berlin. [36]
October 1925: Treaty of Locarno, signed by Luther and Stresemann for Germany, guarantees that the German western border will not be changed except by peaceful means (October 1925). This forms part of an intelligent policy by Stresemann, who sets out to create two standards for Germany's treaties: if Germany recognizes some selective parts of Versailles, the original treaty (forced upon the Germans) becomes increasingly hollow. What Stresemann does amounts to a covert renegotiation of the peace terms in the spirit of reconciliation and mutual trust and leads to conditions much more advantageous to Germany. The DNVP, subordinating the subtleties of Stresemann's foreign policy to a hollow nationalist rhetoric, leaves the government in protest against Locarno. The government continues to rely on the old minority coalition, led by the Center and the DVP, with some tacit support from the SPD.[37]
October 1929: Stresemann remains foreign minister (Germany) until his death in October 1929. [38]
October 19, 1930: On September 24, although the route markers were by now largely buried under snow, Wegener set out with thirteen Greenlanders and his meteorologist Fritz Loewe to supply the camp by dog sled. During the journey the temperature reached −60 °C (−76 °F) and Loewe's toes became so frostbitten they had to be amputated with a penknife without anesthetic. Twelve of the Greenlanders returned to West camp. On October 19, the remaining three members of the expedition reached Eismitte. There being only enough supplies for three at Eismitte, Wegener and Rasmus Villumsen took two dog sleds and made for West camp. They took no food for the dogs and killed them one by one to feed the rest until they could run only one sled. While Villumsen rode the sled, Wegener had to use skis. They never reached the camp. The expedition was completed by his brother, Kurt Wegener.
Death
Six months later, on May 12, 1931, Wegener's body was found halfway between Eismitte and West camp. It had been buried (by Villumsen) with great care and a pair of skis marked the grave site. Wegener had been fifty years of age and a heavy smoker and it was believed that he had died of heart failure brought on by overexertion. His body was reburied in the same spot by the team that found him and the grave was marked with a large cross. After burying Wegener, Villumsen had resumed his journey to West camp but was never seen again. He was twenty three when he died and it is estimated that his body, and Wegener's diary, now lie under more than 100 metres (330 ft) of accumulated ice and snow.
Continental drift theory
Alfred Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw. The Continental shelf of the Americas fit closely to Africa and Europe, and Antarctica, Australia, India and Madagascar fit next to the tip of Southern Africa. But Wegener only took action after reading a paper in Autumn 1911 and seeing that a flooded land-bridge contradicts isostasy.[7] Wegener's main interest was meteorology, and he wanted to join the Denmark-Greenland expedition scheduled for mid 1912. So he hurried up to present his Continental Drift hypothesis on January 6, 1912. He analyzed either side of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils. He noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants. His hypothesis was thus strongly supported by the physical evidence, and was a pioneering attempt at a rational explanation.
Fossil patterns across continents (Gondwanaland). [39]
October 1939: Al-Husseini's tactics, his abuse of power to punish other clans, and the killing of 'traitors', alienated many Palestinian Arabs. One local leader, Abu Shair, told Da'ud al-Husayni, an emissary from Damascus who bore a list of people to be assassinated during the uprising that:
'I don’t work for Husayniya ('Husayni-ism') but for wataniya (nationalism).'[96]
He remained in Lebanon for two years, under French surveillance in the Christian village of Zouk,[97] but, in October 1939, his deteriorating relationship with the French and Syrian authorities led him to withdraw to the Kingdom of Iraq. By June 1939, after the disintegration of the revolt, Husseini's policy of killing only proven turncoats changed to one of liquidating all suspects, even members of his own family, according to one intelligence report.[98][40]
September-October 1939
Following instructions issued by SS chief Reinhard Heydrich “the leading strata of the population should be rendered harmless” the SS killed some 20,000 Poles, mainly priests, politicians and academics, in September and October 1939.[41]
October 1939: With Nuri as-Said's agreement - he wished to persuade al-Husseini of the value of the British White Paper of 1939 - they invited al-Husseini to Iraq in October 1939, and he was to play an influential role there in the following two years. A quadrumvirate of four younger generals among the seven, three of whom had served with al-Husseini in WW1, were hostile to the idea of subordinating Iraqi national interests to Britain's war strategy and requirements.[113][114[42]
October 19, 1939
Germany incorporates western Poland into the Reich and establishes the first Jewish ghetto in Lublin.[43]
October 19, 1940
A voluminous report issued by Dannecker draws a detaild picture of the Jewish population of Paris, which has fallen from 149,934 on October 19, 1940, to 139,979 in the spring of 1941. The report counts 34,557 children under 15 years of age, 24.7 percent of the total Jewish population. The numbers reported for the next age group, those aged 15 through 25, are strikingly small: only 3,838, or 2.8 percent of the total, apparently because they are prisoners of war, in hiding, or simply have refused to comply with the Jewish census.[44]
The Jewish census is completed in the Seine Department (the city of Paris). Begun October 3 under German orders, it is used by the Prefecture of Police to create a Jewish census index that will be instrumental in drawing up lists of Jews for arrest and deportation.
In Paris, the Criminal Investigation Department of the police organizes the census, with the required forms collected from Jews at their local police stations. The size of the task makes it necessary, by the end of October to establish a special section at the Prefecture of Police. The Jewish census file office, called the “Tulard service” after Adre Tulard, director of the office, is charged with classifying census declarations, establishing the card file index, receiving late forms, examining cases of arrested Jews who have not filed forms, and using the files to provide information requested by the police or administration. The files classify Jews in four ways; by name, nationality, street address, and occupation’
The census in Paris registers 85,664 French Jews and 64,070 foreign Jews, a total of 149,734 persons. The Jewish population of the rest of occupied France totals an estimated 20,000.[45]
October 1940 to January 1941
The deaths of people badly cared for, undernourished, and exposed to the elements during the rigorous winters of 1940, 1941 and 1942, were in fact deliberate assassinations. The Vichy government, “anti-France”, in the words of Dr. J. Weil, whose work on concentration camps is considered authoritative, has shown itself guilty of these crimes. What other name can be given, for example, to the mortality in the camp of Gurs? There were 15 deaths in October, 1940; 180 in November; 270 in December; 140 in January, 1941…
At Gurs on November 26, 1940, Julius Gottlieb, born December 24, 1852 from Ebernburg, died.
Also at Gurs on March 23, 1941 Johanna Gottlieb born May 24, 1859, from Ebernburg, died.[46]
October 1941: Bulgaria joins the Tripartite Pact. Also Himmler orders the construction of a camp at Birkenau (Auschwitz II). Construction begins in October 1941 and continues until March 1942.[47]
October 1941: The mechanism to gas Jews at Auchwitz was put into place and Hitler suspended all immigration.[48]
October 19, 1941
Joseph Stalin announces that he is remaining in Moscow to defend the city fromn German attacks.[49]
October 19, 1941: Jews are murdered in Belgrave.[50]
October 19-September 28, 1943?: Luxembourg Jews are deported to Lodz in eight transports.[51]
Late October 1941 A small article inside the New York Times based on unspecified “reliable sources,” drew on eyewitness accounts from Hungarian army officers who had returned to Hungary from Galicia. It included estimates of ten to fifteen thousand Jews killed in Galicia.[52]
October 1941: Auschwitz was really a group of camps, designated I, II, and III. There were also 40 smaller "satellite" camps. It was at Auschwitz II, at Birkenau, established in October 1941, that the SS created a complex, monstrously orchestrated killing ground: 300 prison barracks; four "bathhouses" in which prisoners were gassed; corpse cellars; and cremating ovens. Thousands of prisoners were also used for medical experiments overseen and performed by the camp doctor, Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death."
The Red Army had been advancing deeper into Poland since mid-January. Having liberated Warsaw and Krakow, Soviet troops headed for Auschwitz. In anticipation of the Soviet arrival, the German Gestapo began a murder spree in the camps, shooting sick prisoners and blowing up crematoria in a desperate attempt to destroy the evidence of their crimes. When the Red Army finally broke through, Soviet soldiers encountered 648 corpses and more than 7,000 starving camp survivors. There were also six storehouses filled with literally hundreds of thousands of women's dresses, men's suits, and shoes that the Germans did not have time to burn.[53]
October 1941: Elma Gottlieb, born October 13, 1903 in Duisburg, resided Koln. Deportation: from Koln, October 1941, to Litzmannstadt. Date of Death: March 5, 1942.[54]
October 1941:The government of the Slovak Republic began to deport its Jewish citizens today. The Slovak Republic was one of the countries to agree to deport its Jews as part of the Nazi Final Solution. Originally, the Slovak government tried to make a deal with Germany in October 1941 to deport its Jews as a substitute for providing Slovak workers to help the war effort. After the Wannsee Conference, the Germans agreed to the Slovak proposal, and a deal was reached where the Slovak Republic would pay for each Jew deported, and, in return, Germany promised that the Jews would never return to the republic. The initial terms were for "20,000 young, strong Jews", but the Slovak government quickly agreed to a German proposal to deport the entire population for "evacuation to territories in the east". The willing deportation was only the latest in a series of anti-Semitic actions taken by the government. Soon after gaining its “independence,” the Slovak Republic began a series of measures aimed against the Jews in the country. The Hlinka's Guard began to attack Jews, and the "Jewish Code" was passed in September 1941. Resembling the Nuremberg Laws, the Code required that Jews wear a yellow armband, banned intermarriage and denied Jews the opportunity to hold a variety of jobs.[55]
October 1942: Roosevelt once more spoke out of the crimes, declaring that those responsible would receive “just and sure punishment.”
Neither in this statement nor in the one issued in August did he refer to Jewish victims.[56]
Efforts by the United States and other governments to persuade the Vatican to voice public condemnation of Nazi atrocities against civilians came to nothing.[57]
October 1942: Battle of El Alamein. British under General Montgomery defeat Rommel's Afrika Korps and end the Nazi threat on Egypt and Palestine.[58]

• Paula Gottliebova nee Fuchsova was born in Czechoslovakia on February 14, 1874 to Abraham and Rosa nee Kohn. She was a housewife and married to Daniel. Prior to WWII whe lived in Pardubice, Czechoslovakia. Deported on transport Bw arrived at Terezin (Theresienstadt) from the Czech Republic on transport Bw1968 on October 19, 1942. According to this source she survived to be liberated.[59] According to testimony given by an extended family member in Yad Vashem she died in 1942 at Treblinka.
The extermination process in Belzec, Sobibor and Treblinka (located in the far east of Poland near the borders with Byelorussia and Ukraine) was similar to the “well tried” method used in the six euthanasia killing centers in Germany and Austria”. As a guise the victims were told that they were being transported east for resettlement and work. Upon arrival at the centers the following procedures were used;
Deception (“You must get a shower in the bathroom!”).
Handing over the valuables (enrichment for the German Reichsbank).
Undressing (realization of the clothings and finding of hidden jewelry).
Cooping up the victims in the gas chamber (as narrow as possible to minimize the air volume).
Use of carbon monoxide gas (CO) (dischards through the gaspipes.)[60]

October 1942: The Nazis sent 3,000 Jews from Opocno, Poland to Treblinka. At the start of the war almost half the town of Opoczno was Jewish. Jews had lived there since the 14th century. The Jews had lived there continually since the start of the 18th century. At the time of the mass deportation in October 1942, scores of Jews fled to the forests and organized opartisan units there. The best known unit, “Lions”, under the command of Julian Ajzenman-Kaniewski, conducted a number of successful guerilla actions against Nazi forces and the OpocznoKonskie railway line. Aftetr the war the Jewish Community of Opocznowas not reconstituted.[64]
October 1943: The Dvinsk ghetto is virtually liquidated, with only 450 Jews remaining. They are transferred to Kaiserwald late in October 1943.[65]
October 1943: Haaretz reported in 2006 that Holocaust survivor groups here have joined the recommendation of the Polish presitdent, Lech Kaczynski, to award the Nobel Peace Prize to 96 year old Irena Sandler. Sandler, who was a member of the Polish Underground group Zegota that was dedicated to saving Jews, was recognized by the Yad Vashem Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Authority in 1965 for smuggloing numerous Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto. The children received false papers and were either adopted by Christian families or sent to convents. Sandler, however, recorded the real names of 2,500 children on lists that were placed in glass jars and bguried, with the hope that the youngsters would eventurally be returned to their families. The Gestapo arrested Sandler in October 1943. Despite being tortured, she refuesed to reveal the children’s identity, and was senteced to death by a Nazi court. The underground group freed her and she lived in hiderng under an assumed itenty.[66]
October 1963: Scamp’s first four months in the fleet were taken up by advanced trials and training exercises in the Bremerton, Washington, San Diego, California, and Pearl Harbor, areas. Following these operations, she returned to Vallejo, California, for post-shakedown availability at Mare Island Naval Shipyard. Leaving the shipyard Scamp completed her final acceptance trials and began local operations in the San Diego area. In April 1962 she deployed to the western Pacific, returning to San Diego in July. She operated locally until September, when she departed on another extended training cruise. Scamp returned to San Diego and local operations until February 1963 when she entered Mare Island Naval Shipyard for interim drydocking. She refloated in March and, in April, deployed again to the western Pacific. While in the Far East, she conducted another extended period of advanced training, including operations in the Okinawa area. Scamp reentered San Diego Bay in October 1963. She resumed her West Coast operations out of San Diego until June 1964, then, she headed west again for advanced readiness training. She arrived back in San Diego in September 1964.
Scamp entered Mare Island Naval Shipyard again in January 1965 for extensive modification. In June 1966 after the installation of the SUBSAFE package and overhaul, she left Mare Island and returned to training cruises in the San Diego operating area. In November she ventured north to Puget Sound for a month of operations and returned to San Diego in December. The nuclear submarine operated out of San Diego for the first six months of 1967. On 28 June, she departed San Diego to join the Seventh Fleet in the western Pacific. She remained in the Far East, participating in fleet operations along the Vietnamese coast, until returning to San Diego on 28 December 1967.
Scamp operated out of San Diego in the local operating area from January to May 1968. On 11 May, she arrived at Pearl Harbor to conclude an extended training cruise. She returned to San Diego on 19 May and remained there until 15 June, when the submarine shifted to San Francisco to enter Mare Island Naval Shipyard for a three-week restricted availability. She returned to San Diego on 16 July and finished out the year sailing from that port on various exercises and training cruises.
Scamp continued stateside duty throughout 1969. She alternated in-port periods with training cruises until early March when she began pre-overhaul tests in the San Diego operating area. She continued preparing for overhaul and participating in exercises until 1 November when she entered Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for regular overhaul. While at Bremerton, Scamp was assigned that port as her new home port. The overhaul continued through 1970 and ended in January 1971.
1970s
Following post-overhaul sea trials in Puget Sound, Scamp was reassigned back to San Diego, as home port on 12 February 1971, but did not enter that port until 16 April after a voyage to Pearl Harbor. On 27 July, she deployed to the western Pacific. Scamp stopped at Pearl Harbor from 2 August to 13 August, then headed on to Subic Bay, R.P., arriving on 30 August. For the bulk of 1971, she operated with the Seventh Fleet in Far Eastern waters other than off the coast of Vietnam, except for one short two-day period, 8 October and 9 October.
She returned to San Diego on 2 February 1972, but due to increasing tension in Southeast Asia, redeployed to the Seventh Fleet in May. She operated in the South China Sea for most of the summer, returning to San Diego on 1 August. Upon arrival, she went into a two-month standdown period, followed by more than a month of restricted availability at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. She departed Puget Sound on 28 November, conducted weapons system accuracy tests, and returned, on 11 December, to San Diego, where she remained for the remainder of the year.
Scamp operated locally around San Diego until 29 March 1973. At that time, she departed the West Coast for deployment to the Far East. She stayed at Pearl Harbor between 5 and 10 April, then headed for Yokosuka, Japan. She arrived in Japan on 23 April and operated with the Seventh Fleet until 1 September, when she departed Guam for Pearl Harbor. Scamp stopped at Pearl Harbor during the period 10 to 15 September, then set sail for San Diego. Arriving on 21 September the nuclear submarine immediately entered a period of standdown and upkeep until 1 November, when she resumed operations in the vicinity of San Diego.
History for 1973-1988 needed.
Decommissioning
Scamp was decommissioned and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 28 April 1988. ex-Scamp entered the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program in Bremerton, Washington, in 1990 and on 9 September 1994 became the first hulk to complete the program and ceased to exist.
Honors and awards
Scamp earned three campaign stars for service in the Vietnam War.[67]

[14] In all the operations of its brigade and divisions, from the 23d of September until the 19th of October, upon which latter date the Twenty Fourth Iowa fought its last battle, the regiment performed its full share of duty and always acquitted itself with honor. Although it remained in the service for nearly six months after the battle of Cedar Creek, the remainder of its history, while characterized by same faithful devotion to duty, was not marked by further severe conflict with the enemy. The compiler deems it most fitting, therefore, that the conduct of the regiment in the memorable battle of Cedar Creek, as portrayed in the official report of its gallant commander, should occupy the greater portion of the space left at his disposal for this historical sketch. In this, one of the most remarkable battles of the great War of the Rebellion, the Twenty-fourth Iowa suffered heavy loss, and ended its battle history by as splendid and heroic fighting as was ever exhibited upon any battlefield. The official report is here given in full:
Headquarter Twenty-fourth Iowa Infantry Volunteers, Camp Russell, VA., Nv. 19, 1864.
Colonel:
I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by the Twenty-fourth Regiment Iowa Infantry Volunteers in the battle of Cedar Creek, Va., on the 19th of October, 1864. The regiment belonged to the Fourth Brigade, Second Division. Nineteenth Army Corps, Brevet Major General Emory commanding corps, Brigadiar General Grover commanding division, and Colonel Shunk, Eighth Indiana Veteran Volunteers, commanding brigade. The brigade Occupied the left of the second line, which was about two hundred paces in rear of the lines of works ovcupied by the first line. The left of the brigade rested about two hundred yards to the right of the pike leading from Winchester to Staanton. The works in our front were occupied by the Third Brigade, Second Division, Nineteenth Army Corps with Battery D, First Rhode Island Artillery, near the pike on the left. The regiment occupied the right center of the brigade, with the Twenty-eighth Iowa on the left. The Eighth Corps, under command of Major General Crook, was posted on the left of the pike, and about three hundred paces to the front. The Sixth Corps was on the right of the Nineteenth, with its right thrown back toward Middletown, about one mile./ Our teams parked about one mile in the rear. The enemy was in camp at Fisher’s Hill, some four miles to the front. In this position we rested on the evening of the 18th, not even suspecting out danger, or the Yankee trick that Early was going to play on us the next morning.
Soon after retiring to bed, Colonel Wilds, then in command of the regiment, received orders to have the men under arms at precisely 5 o’clock next morning, as the first line was to make a reconnaissance to the front, and the Fourth Brigade was to move up to the works as soon as vacated. In obedience to this order at 6 o’clock the regiment was in line of battle, and ready to move to the works. Having reason to believe that the reconnaissance would not last more than one or two hours, as the order was not to bring on an engagement, everything except, arms and accouterments were left in tents. At ten minutes past 5 o’clock, firing commenced on the picket line of the Eighth Corps. Supposing it to by only a reconnaissance by the enemy, it created but little alarm. In a few minutes heavy firing commenced on the left and front of the Eighth Corps. It was not yet daylight, and a dense fog, which had settled to the ground, rendered it almost impossible to distinguish objects at any distance. Soon after the firing commenced on the left, the brigade was ordered to move by the left flank, until the left of the Twenty-fourth Iowa rested on the pike. Colonel Wilds ordered me to ride to the left of the regiment, and to lead it to the place indicated, but, before reaching the pike, I was ordered to halt and take position, as we were already receiving the enemy’s fire. The regiment was halted, and the right thrown forward so as to form a line across the crest of the hill, at an angle of forty-five degress with the pike. The right of the brigade, Eighteenth Indiana Veteran Volunteers, supporting the battery on the left of the first line. The fog was so dense that it was impossible to tell what was in front of us, and, as the Eighth Corps was failing back at the time, our fire was reserved until the enemy had pressed his columns close up to and charged the battery on the right, one piece of which was captured. We held the position, however, until Colonel Shunk, discovering that the enemy had thrown a column across the pike on our left, ordered the brigade to fall back about five hundred yards, and take position parallel to and facing the pike. This was done in food order, and the position taken and held, until it became necessary, in the opinion of General ‘Grover, to fall back, in order to prevent being cut off entirely. (Up to this time the regiment had lost six men killed and about forty wounded.) The order was given to fall back as rapidly as possible in heavy force on our left and captured four officers and about forty men. The brigade fell back about one mile and formed between the First Brigade, General Brge, and the Sixth Corps, which was on the left.
Previous to this time Colonel Wilds had been wounded and carried from the field. I had also received a bruise on my hip froma piece of shell and a wound from a musket ball in the left arm near the elbow, which sickened me so that I could not ride for near an hour, and the regiment was commanded by Captain L. Clark, during my absence. Soon after I returned to the regiment, which was then in the position above mentioned, the enemy made a flank movement to the left of the Sixth Corps, rendering it necessary for it to fall back, and we were ordered to retire by the right of regiments to the rear. We moved in this manner nearly three mile, halted, took position, procured ammunition and prepared to renew the battle. After we had rested about half an hour, Major
General Sheridan came on the field, having been absent since the morning of the 18th. He ordered the Eighth Corps to take position on the left of the pike between Middletown and Newtown, the Sixth Corps the center, and the Nineteenth Corps the right. Sent two division of cavalry to the right, and one to the left. The Forth Brigade was formed on the extreme left of the Nineteenth Corps, connecting with the right of the Sixth Corps. In this position the troops were ordered to rest, and throw up some temporary works.
About 12 O’clock I was ordered to move the Twenty-forth Iowa to the extreme right of the Nineteenth Corps, and protect the flank, I immediately moved to the place indicated, took position and threw out a skirmish line. In this position I remained until 3 o’clock P.M., when I received orders to call in my skirmishers and take my place in the line, as it was going to advance. My skirmishers had just reported when the advance was sounded. In order to get my position in the line, I had to double quick about one mile, and, during the greater part of this distance, we had to pass through the fire of the enemy’s guns, which overshot our advancing columns, the shells exploding in the rear. About 3 o’clock, I got my place in the line, which, steadily advanced, driving the enemy from every position taken until we reached the camp we left in the morning. Here we halted and made some coffee, (those of us who were fortunate enough to have any,) the first we had tasted since the evening of the 18th. We found one wounded officer there, who had hidden among the rocks during the day, and qite a number of our wounded men. Everything was taken from our camp, leaving the men and most of the officers without haversacks, blankets or shelter tents. At 8 o’clock P.M., the regiment moved forward, with the brigade, to a point near Strasburg, to protect the parties that were sent our to collect the property abandoned by the enemy in his hasty retreat. There we bivouacked for the night, without fires, the men suffering severely for want of blankets and proper clothing to protect them from the excessive cold.
It would appear invidious to mention individual cases of gallantry, during the day, when all, both men and officers, did their whole duty. I cannot close, however, without referring to the bravery of our lamented Colonel Wilds, who was wounded soon after daylight and died November 18th. In him we lost a noble, brave and efficient officer. Captain Knott and Lieuteant Kurtz were wounded and captured, but both were retaken in the evening. Captain Smith, and lieutenant Davis, were captured in the morning about daylight. The loss of the regiment was: Killed; enlisted men 7; Wounded; officers 6, enlisted men 39. Captured; officers 2, enlisted men 39. Total casualties 93. Captured; officers 2, enlisted men 39. Total casualties 93; a list of which is hereto annexed.
