October 24, 69: At the Second Battle of Bedriacum, forces under Antonius Primus, the commander of the Danube armies, loyal to Vespasian, defeat the forces of Emperor Vitellius. This victory help paved the way for Vespasian to become Emperor of the Roman Empire. According to Jewish mythology, it was Yoachanah Ben Zachai’s prediction that Vespasian would attain this goal, that led to him being able to establish the academy at Yavneh. Vespasian turned matters around Jerusalem to his son Titus who would destroy the Temple within the year.
End of the Second Temple period: Josephus speaks of about twenty thousand priests who held various positions in the Temple at the end of the Second Temple period, when the total number of Jews throughout Judaea may have reached one and a half to two million.
October 24, 1492: The Jews were again accused of stabbing a consecrated wafer in Mechlenburg, Germany. Twenty-seven were burned including two women, and all the Jews are expelled from the duchy. The spot where they were killed is still called the Judenberg.
October 24, 1648: The Peace of Westphalia ended The Thirty Years War. While the Jews of Europe were not combatants orparticipants in the peace talk, this treaty did have far reaching impact on them. The treaty brought an end to the Holy Roman Empire which meant that the various states of Germany were able to choose theirown religion and develop on their own.The independence of the Netherlands was recognized. The tolerant Dutch nation had already proven itself as a hospitable place for Jews and six years after the treaty European Jews would find haven in the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam. According to some historians, the treaty marked the end of the religious wars that had gripped Europe much to the detriment of the Jews) and marked the rise of the modern nation-state system. While anti-Semitism would continue to be part of the European landscape, the Jews of Europe would fare better after 1648 under a system of national citizenship.
1649 Jews expelled from Ukraine. In the mid 17th century, the Cossacks of the Ukraine and the local Polish peasantry revolted against the feudal conditions imposed by the Polish overlords. Unfortunately, Jews bore the brunt of their murderous fury. Hundreds of thousands were massacred. Church persecution and local enmity were a constant threat. Many Jews moved west, renewing former settlements in Germany and France.

1676
Frustrated Freemen
and Bacon’s Rebellion

An accumulating mass of footloose, impoverished freemen was drifting discontentedly about the Chesapeake region by the late seventeenth century. Mostly single young men, they were frustrated by their broken hopes of acquiring land, as well as by their gnawing failure to find single women to marry
The swelling numbers of these wretched bache¬lors rattled the established planters. The Virginia assembly in 1670 disfranchised most of the landless knockabouts, accusing them of “having little inter¬est in the country” and causing “tumults at the elec¬tion to the disturbance of his majesty’s peace.” Virginia’s Governor William Berkeley lamented his lot as ruler of this rabble: “How miserable that man is that governs a people where six parts of seven at least are poor, endebted, discontented, and armed.”
Berkeley’s misery soon increased. About a thou¬sand Virginians broke out of control in 1676, led by a twenty-nine-year-old planter, Nathaniel Bacon. Many of the rebels were frontiersmen who had been forced into the untamed backcountry in search of arable land. They fiercely resented Berkeley’s friendly policies toward the Indians, whose thriving fur trade the governor monopolized. When Berkeley refused to retaliate for a series of savage Indian attacks on frontier settlements, Bacon and his fol¬lowers took matters into their ‘own hands. They fell murderously upon the Indians, friendly and hostile alike, chased Berkeley from Jamestown, and put the torch to the capital. Chaos swept the raw colony, as frustrated freemen and resentful servants— described as “a rabble of the basest sort of people”— went on a rampage of plundering and pilfering.
As this civil war in Virginia ground on, Bacon suddenly died of disease, like so many of his fellow colonials. Berkeley thereupon crushed the uprising with brutal cruelty hanging more than twenty rebels. Back in England Charles II complained, “That old fool has put to death more people in that naked country than I did here for the murder of my father.”
The distant English king could scarcely imagine the depths of passion and fear that Bacon’s Rebel¬lion excited in Virginia. Bacon had ignited the smol¬dering unhappiness of landless former servants, and he had pitted the hard-scrabble backcountry frontiersmen against the haughty gentry of the tidewater plantations. The rebellion was now sup¬pressed, but these tensions remained. Lordly planters, surrounded by a still-seething sea of malcontents, anxiously looked about for less trou¬blesome laborers to toil in the restless tobacco kingdom. Their eyes soon lit on Africa.

.Nathaniel Bacon assailed Virginias Governor William, Berkeley in 1676
“for having protected. favored, and
emboldened the Indians against His
Majesty’s loyal subjects, never contriving. requiring, or appointing any due or proper means of satisfaction for their many
invasions, robberies, and murders
committed upon us.”

For his part, Governor Berkeley declared:
1 have lived thirty-four years amongst you [Virginians]. as uncorrupt and diligent as
ever [a] Governor was. [while] Bacon is a man of two years amongst you. his person and qualities unknown to most of you. and to all men else, by any virtuous act that ever I heard of. . . . I will take counsel of wiser men than myself. but Mr. Bacon has none about him but the lowest of the people.”










October 24, 1770. We reachd the Mouth of a Creek calld Fox Grape vine Creek
(10 Miles up which is a Town of Delawares calld Franks Town) abt.
3 Ocbock in the afternoon—distant from our last Camp abt. 26 Miles. Fox Grape Vine Creek, also called Captina Creek, flows into the Ohio from the west. Frank’s Town was a well-known Delaware village about six miles from the Juniata River. Originally called Assunepachba, it was referred to as Frank’s Town, for the Pennsylvania trader Frank Stevens, as early as 1734.

October 24th, 1770—We left our encampment before sunrise, and about six miles below it, we came to the mouth of a small creek, coming in from the eastward, called by the Indians Split-Island creek, from its running in against an Island. On this creek there is the appearance of good land. Six miles below this again, we came to another creek on the west side, called by Nicholson, Wheeling ; and about a mile lower down appears to be another small water coming in on the east side, which I remark, because of the scarcity of them, and to show how badly furnished this country is with mill-seats. Two or three miles below this is another run on the west side, up which is a near way by land to Mingo town; and about four miles lower, comes in another on the east, at which place is a path leading to the settlement at Redstone. About a mile and a half below this comes in Pipe creek, so called by the Indians from a stone whichì is found here, out of which they make pipes. Opposite to this, that is, on the east side, is a bottom of exceedingly rich land but as it seems to be low, I am apprehensive that it is subject to be overflowed. ‘This bottom ends where the effects of a hurricane appear, by the destruction and havoc among tine trees. Two or three miles below the Pipe creek, is a pretty large creek on tIne west side, called by Nicholson, Fox-Grape-Vine, by others Captina creek, on which, eight miles up, is the town called Grape-Vine Town ; and at the mouth of it is the place where it was said the trader was killed. ‘To this place we came about three o’clock in the afternoon, and finding no body there, we agreed to encamp, that Nicholson and one of the Indians might go up to town, and inquire into the truth of the report concerning the murder.

October 24, 1771: Reachd Todds Bridge to Breakfast & Col. Bassets in the Evening. Captn. Crawford came there to Dinner.
October 24, 1786: The jury learned about the complex history of the land, the shifting jurisdictions, the missing paperwork, etc. Smith won an important ruling from the judge, who barred any evidence about improvements to the land. The trial began the afternoon of October 24, 1786, and lasted through the next day and until 11 in the morning of the 26th. There is no record of how long the jury deliberated, but Smith perceived that the jury wanted badly to give verdicts in favor of James Scott. "We had very strong prejudices artfully fomented to encounter," he told Washington. Yet even as Smith steeled himself for defeat, the jury came back with a verdict in favor of the general.
It is not entirely clear why a jury with natural sympathies for settlers sided with an absentee landlord, even one as famous as Washington. There were limited means in America for turning anyone into what would later be called a celebrity, and Washington himself hadn't appeared; the jury had to render a verdict in favor of someone far away and against James Scott, who was right there in the courtroom. Perhaps Smith, a lawyer of considerable talents, destined to be on the state Supreme Court, had managed to show beyond any doubt that the general had legitimate title to the land and had been unable to pay more attention to it because of his service to the country. Or perhaps the verdict was just another example of the Washington magic. Bullets couldn't hit him, and squatters couldn't defy him.
Smith persuaded Justice McKean to consolidate the other 12 cases, and that trial was quickly and efficiently concluded with yet another verdict in Washington's favor.
"You have now thirteen plantations -- some of them well improved," Smith informed the general, and then delicately raised the possibility that now would be a good time to back off and show these frontier families some mercy. "[They] are now reduced to Indigence; they have put in crops this season which are now in the ground they wish to be permitted to take the grain away. To give this hint may be Improper in me -- to say more would be presumptuous."
Smith advised Washington to employ an agent to take possession of the land immediately, because the squatters were likely to burn down all the houses and barns and even the fences. Washington turned to John Cannon, a major landowner, and asked him if he would handle the matter, ideally by demanding rent from the Seceders. Washington, softening a bit, indicated that he didn't want back rent from the past 12 years.
But the Seceders wanted nothing to do with Washington. They would not be his tenants. They would own their own land. The Mount Pleasant Township Warrantee Map, compiled from early plats, shows a kind of splatter effect from the explosive visit of Washington in 1784. Several of the Seceders obtained warrants for land adjacent to or near Washington's land. They pulled out their axes once again, hacked down trees, burned the stumps, broke the ground. For years, settlers had been pulling up stakes and moving toward deeper wilderness to start anew, and perhaps, as they scouted nearby land to settle, they could pretend they were another band of restless Americans. But just as surely a few of them thought of George Washington as they swung their axes at the oaks and pines and hemlocks of the Pennsylvania forest.
October 24, 1791: To protect settlers and to force the Indians to abide by the Treaty of Fort Harmar, Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, ordered the construction of forts in what is now western Ohio. St. Clair moved against the Indians living near present-day Ft. Wayne Indiana, in September 1791. His men left Fort Washington, near Cincinnati, on September 17. The men marched twenty miles in two days and then built Fort Hamilton. St. Clair’s army then advanced forty-five miles northward, where his men built Fort Jefferson. Leading primarily untrained militiamen, St. Clair faced problems with desertion from the beginning of his campaign. Although it was still early fall, his men faced some cold temperatures and quite a bit of rain and snowfall. St. Clair also had a difficult time keeping his soldiers supplied with food. His men became demoralized. Despite this p

October 24, 1792: John Q. Wilds was born at Littleton, Pennsylvania, October 24th, 1792. His ancestors, who were among the elarliest settlers in the Keystone State, belonged to the old line whig school of politics. When seven years of age, death deprived him of the counsel and advice of a kind and indulgent father. This threw him, comparatively, upon his own resources, and he was tossed like a foot-fall upon the orld’s great highway, to battle with the stern realities of life. Although unable to obtain a classic educationk, he secured for himself by perseverance and hard study, a general knowledgeable of the the common English branches, which , combined with sound Judgment and good business tact. V. as the talisman of his success in after life. His earlier years were spent as a tiller of the soil, one of the most honorable and independent avocations in which man can embark. From 1850 to 1854, he was enganged successfully in mercantile pursueits at his native town. But he soon became restless. “No pent-up Utica” like the crowded cities of the east afforded charms form longer, and bidding farewell to home, friends, and the scenes of his childhood, he turned his gaze westward. Iowa was his choice among all the northwestern states, and he soon found himself within her borders, without the remotest thought that future events would at one day lead him to add luster to her reputation, and defend her honor and integrity would at one day lead him to add luster to her reputation,, and defend her honor and integrity with his hearts blood. Settling in the thriving and pleasant village of Mount Vernon in Linn county, he engaged in selling goods and speculation in lands, and as every honest man will do, he met with almost unbounded success. It was at Mount Vernon where the writer of this sketch became acquainted with John Q. Wilds. When a small boy I was emploved in his store, and it was then I learned to love and respect him for his kind manner and gentle disposition, the recollection of which can nerer be readicated from my memory. During the Kansas troubles, I well remembered the interest he manifested in behalf o f the cause of freedom and humanity, and it was with the greatest difficulty that his friends dissuaded him from rushing to the arena of combat. For a time he was engaged in merchandising with Messrs. Waln and Griffinn, two estimable gentlemen at Mount Vernon; after which, if I remember rightly, he was alone in business again. In 1857, he was united in marriage to Miss Rowena Camp, a yound lady of excellent qualities of head and heart, who with their two pledges of married life, passed away to the land of shadows in the fall of 1864. The war came and John Q. Wilds’ patriotic impulses would not permit him to stand aloof when the liberties of his country were in peril Sometime during the summer of 181, he was elected captain of company “A,” 13th Iowa Infantry, theregiment being commanded by the lamented Crocker. Serving with this regiment a short time, he resigned to accept the Lieut. Colonelcy of the 24th Iowa Infantry, which was raised under the President’s proclamation of July 2d, 1862, calling for three hundred thousand volunteers. This regiment was sometimes called “ The Iowa Temperance Regiment” or “Methodist Regiment, “ because of the strict piety of so many of its members, and their supreme contempt for the god Bacchus. The reimant rendezvoused near Muscatine with the 35th at Camp StrongWhen medical inspection took place it was ascertained that the regiment was more than full, and the excess was transferred to the 35th. On the 20th of October; Col. Wilds proceeded with the regiment to Helena, Arkansas, where they remained during the winter, goin out occasionally on expeditions in search of the enemy. On the morning of January 11th, 1863, the regiment embarked with ‘Gen. Gorman’s White River Expedition, enduring great trials and hardships. After the return to Helena a general reorganization took place preparatory to active spring operations, and the 24th was attached to the 13th corps. Having been subjected to the skillful instructions of Lieut. Col. Wilds, it added materially to the efficiency and discipling of the corps. Lieut. Col. Wilds took part in the campaign against Vicksburg, and was engaged in the battle of Port Hudson; after which, himself and command did much “marching, skirmishing and foraging.” In the battle of Champion Hills, which was fought on the 16th of May, and undoubtedly one of the hardest fought battles of the war, the officers and men composing the 24th, displayed a bravery and gallantry unexcelled, losing one hundred and ninety five killed, wounded and captured, out of the four hundred and seventeen who entered the contest. In the siege of Vicksburg, no less famous than was that of Antwerp, the regiment acquitted itself nobly. About this time the Colnonel of the regiment, E. C. Byam, an excellent gentlemen and fine officer, “was compelled to leave the wervie by reason of ill health.” Lieut. Col. Wilds then took faithful conscientious charge,” and led his command through the Red River Expedition and battle of Sabine Cross Roads.
However, in the conflict only a portion of the regiment was engaged. After this battle, which occurred on the 8th of April 1864, the regiment went by sea to Fortress Monroe, thence by steamer to Washington City, thence to the Shenandoah Valley where it joined Gen. Sheridan and fought the battle of Winchester. In this contest, Col. Wilds, Major Wright, and in fact, all the officers and men fought with the most undaunted courage. Among many others who were wounded was Adj. Daniel W. Camp of Mounty Vernon, brother in law to Col. Wilds. The next engagement in which the regiment participated, was Fisher’s Hill. The loss of the regiment was the 19th of October the battle of Cedar Creek was fought, and in which the subject of this sketch was mortally wounded. He was removed immediately to Winchester, where after much suffering, death closed his earthly career on the 18th of November 1864. Speaking of the part taken by the 28th Iowas in the battle of Cedar Creek, Mr. Ingersoll in his well written “Iowa and the Rebellion”, says: In this engagement there were two regiments besides the 28th from Iowa, the 22nd, Col. Harvey Graham, and the 24th Col. John Q. Wilds. These were prominent in the action and lost many officers and men hors du combat. Col. Wils on this field received this wound from which he soon afterwards died. It is a melancholy fact that soon afterwards his name can onlylive in the grateful recollection of his countrymen, who can never forget his long career of usefulness and gallantry.” His regiment, by which he was almost idolized, held a meeting at Camp Russell, Va., on the 22nd of Nov. 1864, take action concerning his death, Lieut. Col. Wright having been called upon to preside, T. L. Smith was elected Secretary. Brief and appropriate remarks were made by several persons, while many shed bitter tears of anguish over the loss of their fallen chief. The following resolutions were presented and unanimously adopted:

Resolved, that the death of Col. Wilds has filled our hearts with grief; has torn asunder associations of respect and affection, which, extending back throught the perios od our organization has only deepened and strengthened as time passed. In Col. Wilds, we remember an officer who was alsays at his post, and ever filled his position with true soldierly dignity. During the existence of the regiment he has had but few days of relief from duty, and in the severest of its campaigns, and in the bloodiest of it engagements, his skill and courage have inspired its actions In addition to these qualities of the soldier, we remember especially those kindly feelings, that warm personal interest and sympathy which he extended to every member of his command. Truly unselfish, and delicately sensible to the trials and hardships of the soldier, he has left in the hearts of us all, indelible impressions which will ever cluster gently around the memory of our commander and friend.
Resolved, That we accord to the relatives and friends of the deceased our deepest sympathy in their lass, and the sorrow it must cause; while at the same time we sould remind them that the death of our mutual friend was one of honor that he gave his life, as he had his service, to his country for the preservation of those institutions and that government through whose instrumentality our freedom and happiness can alone ge secured.
John Q. Wilds was considerably above the medium height, tall and wiry in form , very much after the Lincoln style of man. Possessing a keen scrutinizing eye, he never failed to observe all that was transpiring around him, and being an excellent judge of human nature he was enabled to form accurate opinions of those with whom he ws thrown in contact. Fank and free in his manner, yet reserved on all proper occasions when discretion demanded reticence. He was one of those men who would never knowingly wrong his fellow man, and his generosity led him to sympathize with all those in misfortune. In truth, he was beloved and respected by all who were fortunate enough to make his acquaintance. No man was more thoroughly imbued with the spirit of patriotism than he. But he has gone! A brave and noble spirit has passed away to the land of the hereafter. A record has been left behind pure and spotless, untarnished by any dishonorable act during his eventful career. In order to did in the preservation of the fairest and noblest babric of constitutional freedom ever erected by man, he has lain down his life with that same sublime heroism which renders man almost immortal in every age and clime where human liberty is revered:
“As the bird to its sheltering rest,
When the storm on the hills is abroad,
So his spirit has flown from this world of unreal, to repose on the bosom of God”

October 24, 1795: Third partition of Poland, between Austria, Prussia and Russia. This is an example of the law of unintended consequences. Russia, which had been trying to diip Jews out, now found itself with millions of Jewish Poles as Russian citizens. For the next hundred years the various Czars devised plans to control or destroy the Jewish community in Russia The most famous example was the one-third, one-third, one-third program. The third of the Jews would convert, one third would immigrate and one third would die. Thus Russia would be rid of its Jews.
A few years ago, I bought a book called "A Dictionary of Jewish Surnames from the Kingdom of Poland." For the name "Gutfrajnd" it says:
Gutfrajnd: (Janow, Kielce, common in Kalisz; Czestochowa, Blonie, Lodz, Warsaw) A: gutfraynd (Yiddish), Gutfreund (German) good friend (Gutfrajnd, Gutfrajt, Gutfred, Gutfrejd, Gutfrejt, Gotfrajnd, Gotfrajnd)
All that the above means is that the name was common in the towns mentioned and it provides some name variants -- including Gotfrajnd.
The book also includes the following about the name "Gotlib"
Gotlib: (common in Radom gub., Kielce Gub. and Piotrkow gub) M: from the given name Gotlib (Gottlieb in German) (Godlib, Gotleb, Gotlibow, Gotlibowicz, Botlibowski, Gotlibski).

October 24, 1870: In Algiers under the leadership of Cremieux, France granted French citizenship to all Algerian Jews. Prior to this date, citizenship was conferred on individual Jews based on their application. Algeria had been taken over by the French and this move was part of the French program of colonization.

1871: While some maskilim at the time did not attribute much importance to Gottlober’s poetry, others held his compositions in very high esteem. Gottlober’s popularity may be deduced from the prepublication subscription lists (prenumeranten in Yiddish) that appeared on the title pages of his books. Judging by the number of subscribers and their geographical dispersion, he was indeed popular: 766 persons from 19 different communities—from Odessa in the south to Vilna in the north—subscribed to Ha-Nitsanim. Nevertheless, as the literary historian Joseph Klausner stated, Gottlober was “a poet for his age rather than a poet for the ages” (Klausner, 1955, p. 324).

1871: Gottlober wrote in various genres in Yiddish, including poetry, a play, fables, and a memior (Zikhroynes vegen yudishe shrayber; 1888). Much of his work was parodic, such as Dos lid funem kugl (1863), or satirical, such as “Der gilgul” (1871).
1871: Speech of Pope Pius IX in regard to Jews:”of these dogs, there are too many of them at present in Rome, and we hear them howling in the streets, and they are disturbing us in all places.

Santa Maria Volcano, Guatemala – 1902 VEI 6
The Santa Maria eruption in 1902 was one of the largest eruptions of the 20th century. The violent explosion came after the volcano had sat silent for roughly 500 years, and left a large crater, nearly a mile (1.5 km) across, on the mountain’s southwest flank.
The symmetrical, tree-covered volcano is part of a chain of stratovolcanoes that rises along Guatemala's Pacific coastal plain. It has experienced continuous activity since its last blast, a VEI 3, which occurred in 1922. In 1929, Santa Maria spewed forth a a pyroclastic flow (a fast-moving wall of scalding gas and pulverized rock), which claimed hundreds of lives and may have killed as many as 5,000 people.
1903
The Kishinev pogrom: 49 Jews murdered. Following the horrors of the Kishinev pogroms, Herzl proposes to substitute another country as a "night refuge" for persecuted Jews. British officials suggest El Arish and later Uganda. The idea is rejected by the Russian Jews whom Herzl wanted to help. Sixth Zionist Congress split over British offer to settle Uganda. A commission is appointed to look into the question. Eventually the British offer is withdrawn. Laemel school moved to "new" part of Jerusalem, outside the walls.

1905: The seventh Zionist Congress (Basel) rules out any alternative to Palestine as the objective of the Zionism.
1905: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
Perhaps the most infamous and malicious religious hoax in history, "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" is a book supposedly revealing a secret Jewish conspiracy to take over the world. It first appeared in Russia in 1905, and though the book has been completely discredited as a forgery, it is still in print and remains widely circulated.Many people have endorsed this religious hoax, including actor Mel Gibson, Adolf Hitler, and automaker Henry Ford, who in 1920 paid to have a half-million copies of the book published.
1905 – William Rogers, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, was impeached and deposed by the Cherokee National Council for being "too cooperative" with the federal government regarding dissolution of the Cherokee Nation. The council replaces him with Frank J. Boudinot, president of the Keetoowah Nighthawk Society, but the federal government reimposes Rogers in office the following year.

October 24, 1906: Catholic Church. The first mass on the site of Pittsburgh was probably in 1754 at the French Fort Duquesne. It would have been administered by the Recollect Father Denys Baron who was identified as being there in 1755 (probably also 1754). Father Denys also performed the marriage of a young European female captive (Rachel) to one of the French soldiers. The current location is at Third Street and Stanwix—St. Mary of Mercy Church (built in 1936). St. Paul’s was built in 1828-34 and destroyed by fire in 1851. Pittsburgh’s first Diocese was formed August 7, 1843 with St. Paul as its cathedral. The cathedral constructed in 1851-53 was sold in 1901 for $1,325,000 for demolition and erection of the Union Trust Building. The present cathedral was built 1903-06 and completed and consecrated October 24, 1906. It cost $885,481.
October 24, 1919: Chalice had left very big shoes to fill. Until the arrival of a Chalice protégé, A.R. Grant, in October 1919, nobody could fill them. In Grant, the Buck Creek Church’s board of trustees spied many of the same qualities Chalice possessed, youth, an old time evangelistic style, and a commitment to obtaining all the conveniences and advantages of urban life for farm families while avoiding the disadvantages. Furthermore, he came highly recommended by Chalice himself. Chalice maintained close personal ties with many persons in the Buck Creek Church, and he and his family frequently returned to Buck Creek for short visits. No doubt he also maintained a keen interest in the success of the community building effort he had begun but did not fully complete in the Buck Creek area.
Unlike Odell, Grant lost no time in returning to the issue that had been at the top of the reform agenda for Buck Creekers before U.S. entry in World War I, the consolidation of rural schools in the Buck Creek area. In doing so he received a great deal of help from the DPI and ISTA.
