November 27, 1095: At the Council of Claremont, Pope Urban II summoned Christians to retake the Holy Land from the Moslems, alleging that they destroyed Christian holy places. A combination of religious, economic and social motives resulted in the overwhelming response that became known as the First Crusade. The Pope formed an army headed by special knights (i.e. Raymond, Godfrey, etc.). A "people's" army also joined, encouraged by Peter the Hermit and other local clerics. There would eventually be a total of eight Crusades, but only the first four were of any real significance. The Crusades meant death and destruction for the Jews of Europe and the Levant. The “People’s Army” would lay waste to the Jewish communities of Germany and Austria as they marched across Europe. After all, why wait until they got to Palestine to kill the enemies of Christ when they were living right there in Europe? Of course, plundering and pillaging the Jews of their wealth was just an unexpected benefit of religious zeal.[1]
November 27, 1095
The Pope promised that anyone who fell in battle against the Muslims would be forgiven of all sins and go straight to heaven.[2]
|
Pope Urban II, eager to unite warring Christians, on November 27, 1095 spoke to a massive crowd gathered near Clermont in France. Descibing the cruelties inflicted by Muslims on Christian pilgrims trying to visit Jerusalem and the defeats suffered by the Byzantine Christians, he called on all of Western Civilization to rescue their eastern brethren. “They should leave off slaying each other and fight instead a righteous war, doing the work of God, and God would lead them. For those that died in battle there would be absolution and the remission of sins,” Runciman writes. “Hese they were poor and unhappy; there they would be joyful and prosperous and true friends of God.”
The response was tremendous. Urban’s speech was interrupted by cries of “Deus lo volt”. “God wills it.” Hundreds crowded up to Urban begging permission to go on the holy expedition. Soon tens of thousands of commoners and knights were heading off to the Holy Land. Across Europe preaches called the faithful to sew crosses on their clothes, to mark them until they succeeded in their quest.[4]

Jewish Colonies had been established for centuries past along the tyrade routes of western Europe. Their inhabitants were Sephardic Jews, whose ancestors had spread out fromj the Mediterranean basin throughout the Dark Ages. They kept up connections with their co-religionists in Byzantium and in Arab lands, and were thus enabled to play a large part in international trade, more especially the trade between Moslem and Christian countries. The prohibition of ususry in western Christian countries and its strict control in Byzantium left them an open field for the establishment of money lending houses throughout Christendom. Their technical skill and long traditions made them pre-eminent also in the practice of medicine. Except long ago in Visigothic Spain they had never undergone serious persecution in the West. They had no civic rights; but both lay and ecclesiastical authoriyties were pleased to give special protection to such useful member os the community. The kings of France and Germany had always befriended them; and they were shown particular favour by the archbishops of the great cities of the Rhineland. But the peasants and poorer townsmen, increasingly in need of money as a cash economy replaced th older economy of services, fell more and more into their debt and in consequence felt more and more resentment against them; whil the Jews, lacking legal security, charged high rates of interest and extracted exorbitant profits wherever the benevolence of the local ruler supported them. [6]
Their unpopularity grew throughout the eleventh century, as more classes of the community began to borrow money from them; and the beginnings of the Crusading movement added to it.; It was expensive for a knight to equip himself for a Crusade; if he had no land and no possessions to pledge, he must borrow money from the Jews. But was it right that in order to go and fight for Christendom he must fall into the clutches of members of the race that crucified Christ: The poorer Crusader was often already in debt to the Jews. Was it right that he should be hampered in his Christian duty by obligations to one of the impious race: The evangelical preaching of the Crusade laid stress on Jerusalem, the scene of the Crucifixion. It inevitably drew attention to the people at whose hands Christ had suffered. The Moslems were the present enemy; they were persecuting Christ’s followers. But the Jewsa were surely worse; they had persecuted Christ Himself.
Already in the Spanish wars there had been some inclination on the part of Christian armies to maltereat the Jews. At the time of the expedition to Barbastro Pope Alewxander II wrote to the bishops in Spain to reming them that there was all the differencde in the world between the Moslems and the Jews. The former were irreconcilable enemies to the Christians, but the latter were ready to work for them. But in Spain the Jews had enjoyed such favour from the hads of the Moslems that Christian conquerors could not bring themselves to trust them. [7]
In December 1095 the Jewish communities of northern France wrote to their co-religionists in Germany to warn them that the Crusading movement was likely to cause trouble to their race. There were reports of a massacre of the Jews at Rouen. It is unlikely that such a massacre in fact occurred; but the Jews were sufficiently alarmed for Peter the Hermit to bring off a cussessful stroke of business. Hinting , no doubt, that otherwise he might find it difficult to restrain his followers, he obtained from the French Jews letters of introduction to the Jewish communities throughout Europe, calling upon them to welcome him and to supply him and his army with all the provisions that he might require.[8]
About the same time Godfrey of Bourillon, Duke of Lower Lorraine, began his preparations to start out on the Crusade. A rumour ran round the province that he had vowed before he left to avenge the death of Christ with the blood of the Jews. Tnh terror the Jews of the Rhineland induced Kalonymos, chief Rabbi of Mainz, to write to Godfrey’s overlord, the emperor Henry IV, who had always shown himself a friend to their race, to urge him to forbid the persecution. At the same time, to be on the safe side, the Jewish communities of Mainz and Cologne each offered the Duke the sum of five hundred pieces of silver. Henry wrote to his chief vassals, lay and ecclesiastic, to bid them guarantee the safety of all the Jews on their lands. Godfrey, having already succeeded in his blackmail, answered that nothing was further from his thoughts than persecution, and gladly gave the requested guarantee.[9]

November 27, 1809: On November 27, 1809, Jennings was elected as a delegate to the 11th Congress. The election was close and Jennings won by plurality, 429–405, with a third candidate taking eighty-one votes. Randolph challenged the election results and traveled to Washington D.C to take his case to the House of Representatives. Randolph claimed that one of the precincts did not follow the proper procedures for certifying the counting of their votes, and that the precinct's votes should be discarded. Once discarded, the revised vote totals would make Randolph the winner. A House committee took up the case and issued a resolution in Randolph's favor, and recommended a new election be held. Randolph immediately left for the Indiana territory to launch a new campaign for the seat, but the motion was ultimately defeated in the full house and Jennings was permitted to take his seat.
Battle with ancestor and future President William Henry Harrison
During his partial term in office, Jennings focused on learning the legislative process and attacking, whenever possible, Governor Harrison. As a territorial delegate, he was permitted to debate, serve on committees, and introduce legislation, but was not permitted to vote. During his time in Washington, Jennings had a small portrait of himself made which he had sent to Ann Gilmore Hay, the daughter of Jeffersonville merchant that he had begun courting.The painting is the only known authentic portrait of Jennings. Both of Jennings’official portraits are based his 1809 portrait. (Miller, p. 134) After his first session in Congress ended, Jennings returned to the Indiana Territory where he married eighteen-year-old Ann. Her father had just died leaving her with no family. The couple returned to Washington where she remained briefly before leaving to live with Jennings’ sister, Ann, for the remainder of the session.

In 1810 Randolph challenged Jennings in his reelection bid, and this time Harrison came out to personally stump on Randolph’s behalf. Jennings again focused on the slavery issue and tied Randolph to Harrison’s continued attempt to legalize the institution. He also attempted to expand his political base by stumping among the disaffected French residents of the territory. The election was the first in the territory where the legislature was also to be popularly elected. The pro-slavery faction had suffered a significant setback because the Illinois Territory had been separated from Indiana Territory just before the election, cutting Harrison off from most of his supporters. Jennings and the anti-slavery candidates triumphed in the election and began enacting a legislative agenda repudiating Harrison and his pro-slavery policies. Randolph was angry with his second electoral loss and began haranguing Jennings’ supporters and challenged one to a duel
. Randolph was stabbed three times in the fight, leading him to end his political career.
In his first full term in Congress, Jennings ratcheted up his attacks on Harrison, accusing him of using his office for personal gain, of taking part in questionable land speculation deals, and needlessly of raising tensions with the Native American tribes on the frontier. When Harrison was up for reappointment as governor in 1810, Jennings sent a scathing letter to PresidentJames Madison
In his first full term in Congress, Jennings ratcheted up his attacks on Harrison, accusing him of using his office for personal gain, of taking part in questionable land speculation deals, and needlessly of raising tensions with the Native American tribes on the frontier. When Harrison was up for reappointment as governor in 1810, Jennings sent a scathing letter to PresidentJames Madison
recommending against his reappointment. Harrison, however, also had a number of powerful allies in Washington who argued on his behalf and aided him in securing reappointment. In 1811, hostilities broke out on the frontier between the Americans and the native tribes culminating in the Battle of Tippecanoe
in November. Jennings successfully promoted the passage of a bill to grant all veterans of the battle double pay, and to give the widows and orphans of those killed a pension for five years. Privately he wrote to his friends in the territory that he believed Harrison was at fault for agitating the situation and accused him of causing the needless loss of life.
As calls for war with Great Britain
As calls for war with Great Britain
increased, Jennings was not among the war hawks, but ultimately supported the declaration beginning the War of 1812
. Early in the war, Harrison was commissioned as a military general and dispatched to defend the frontier and invade Canada
, causing him to resign as governor. Jennings saw the resignation as a victory and he and his allies moved quickly to take advantage of the situation. The elderly acting-governor, John Gibson
, did not challenge the territorial legislature's agenda and allowed them to have their way in most matters. The legislature proceeded to move the capital away from pro-Harrison Vincennes and embark on a course for statehood. By the time Harrison’s successor, Thomas Posey
, was appointed and arrived in the territory the legislature had become entrenched in power.
Push for statehood
Jennings ran for reelection to Congress again in 1812 against another pro-slavery candidate, Waller Taylor
. The election campaign was the most divisive in Jennings’ career; Taylor derided Jennings as a "pitiful coward" and not doing enough to protect the territory. He even went so far as to challenge Jennings to a duel, but Jennings refused. Jennings ran on the slavery issue again, fielding his new motto: "No slavery in Indiana,” and tying Taylor to the pro-slavery movement. He easily won reelection thanks to his growing base of support which had expanded to include the growing community of Harmonists
.
During his third term in Congress, Jennings began advocating that statehood be granted to Indiana, but held off formally introducing legislation until the end of the War of 1812. He developed jaundice
During his third term in Congress, Jennings began advocating that statehood be granted to Indiana, but held off formally introducing legislation until the end of the War of 1812. He developed jaundice
in 1813 and was too ill to attend Congress for a few weeks. He had been a heavy drinker of alcohol since his youth, which brought on the disease. He soon recovered and continued his push for statehood, and ran on that issued in his 1814 reelection campaign. He won again, and introduced a statehood bill to Congress. In 1815 the House of Representatives began debate on the measure, and in early 1816 the bill passed. The Enabling Act granted Indiana the right to form a government and write a constitution
. Governor Posey was concerned that the territory was too underpopulated to provide sufficient tax revenue to fund a state government. In a letter to President Madison, he recommended the President veto the bill and hold off on statehood for another three years, which would allow him to finish his term as governor. Madison signed the bill despite Posey's plea.Dennis Pennington
, a leading member of the territorial legislature, was able to promote the election of many anti-slavery delegates to the constitutional convention. At the convention in 1816, held in the new capital of Corydon
, Jennings' partisans were able to elect him as president of the assembly, which permitted him to appoint all the committee chairmen of the convention. This gave Jennings a great sway in influencing the body, and allowed him and his allies to have their way in the writing of the constitution. Much of the constitution was directly copied from that of other states, but a few items were new and unique to Indiana. Jennings was the architect of the unique provisions. Among them was the wording of the ban on slavery, which prevented slavery from being legalized, even by constitutional amendment. The governor was also given limited powers, primarily as a final act of repudiation of the territorial governors. Most power was given to the Indiana General Assembly
. At the end of the convention Jennings announced his candidacy for governor.
Internal improvements
In the election for Indiana's first governor, there was little active campaigning. Jennings beat Thomas Posey 5,211–3,934, by touting on his anti-slavery credentials in newspaper articles and in pamphlets. He served as governor and lived in Corydon for the duration of his term. He strongly condemned slavery in his inauguration speech, and ss governor, he refined his stance on institution. He encouraged the General Assembly to enact laws to prevent the "unlawful attempts to seize and carry into bondage persons of color legally entitled to their freedom: and at the same time, as far as practical, to prevent those who rightfully owe service to the citizen of any other State of Territory, from seeking, within the limits of this State [Indiana], a refuge from the possession of their lawful masters." He acknowledge his position was a moderation of his earlier position to hinder the work of slave catchers, but he claimed it was needed in order to "maintain harmony among the states".
In 1818, Jennings began promoting a plan of large scale plan for internal improvements in the state. Most of the projects where directed toward the constructions of roads, canals, and other projects that were would enhance the commercial appeal and economic viability of the state. The General Assembly approved a number of measures and $100,000 for creating roads and allowed for the improvement of some of the more important routes, but was considerably short of the amount Jennings wanted. The largest project authorized was the Indiana Canal Company
, who the state granted over $1.5 million over a period of several years. Jennings also pushed for the quick creation of a state funded school system as called for in the constitution, but the General Assembly believed priority should be given to creating government infrastructure. The state was experiencing budget shortages because the low tax revenues predicted by Posey, and Jennings had to pursue other means to finance the projects, mainly by issuing government bonds to the state bank and the sale of public land. The spending and borrowing led to problems in the short term budget, but despite early setbacks, the infrastructure improvements initiated by Jennings had the desired effects in the decades after his governorship; Indiana’s population of sixty-five thousand in 1816 surpassed one million by 1850.
When Jennings took office, there was only one bank in the state. To remedy the problem, the state granted a charter to establish the Farmer and Mechanics Bank in Madison
When Jennings took office, there was only one bank in the state. To remedy the problem, the state granted a charter to establish the Farmer and Mechanics Bank in Madison
and expanded the existing Bank of Vincennes and funded the opening of new branches in Corydon and Brookville
. Both banks became involved in land speculation, and there were numerous reports of corruption at the Bank of Vincennes. The collapse of land value brought on by the Panic of 1819
put the banks in financial distress; they were both insolvent by 1824. The poor accessibility to capital led the state to halt its improvement programs and the Indiana Canal Company folded because of lack of funding. Most of Jennings second term was spent grappling with the financial difficulties and attempting to put the state on a firm footing. Tax revenues and land sales remained low and state revenue was not sufficient to pay the bonds used to finance the defunct canal company. The General Assembly was forced to significantly depreciate their value, harming the state credit and making it difficult for to secure new loans.
Treaty of St. Mary's
In late 1818, Jennings served as a United States Commissioner to negotiate a treaty with the Native Americans
in the northern and central parts of Indiana. The treaty he negotiated, known as the Treaty of St. Mary's
, allowed the state to purchase millions of acres of land and opened up most of central Indiana to American settlement.
The state constitution forbade a person to hold a position in both the state and federal government simultaneously, and Jennings political enemies seized on the opportunity to attempt to force him out of office. In the Indiana House of Representatives
The state constitution forbade a person to hold a position in both the state and federal government simultaneously, and Jennings political enemies seized on the opportunity to attempt to force him out of office. In the Indiana House of Representatives
the opposition launched impeachment proceedings against him before he had returned from the negotiations. Upon learning of the situation, Jennings was “mortified” that his actions were being questioned and he proceeded to burn all the documents granting him authority from the federal government. Lieutenant Governor
proclaimed himself acting-governor in Jennings' absence and declared that Jennings' actions were equal to a resignation. When Jennings returned from the negotiations, there was still contention in the General Assembly as to who to recognize as the legitimate governor. The legislature called both Jennings and Harrison before them to be interrogated for their actions. Jennings declined to appear stating the Assembly had no such authority over him, and Harrison declined to appear unless the Assembly would address him as “acting-governor”. With neither of the two men willing to meet with the legislature, the Assembly demanded copies of the documents that Jennings received from the federal government to prove he was not acting as their agent, to which he replied in a short letter which stated:
"If I were in possession of any public documents calculated to advance the public interest it would give me pleasure to furnish them and I shall at all times be prepared to afford you any information which the constitution or laws of the State may require... If the difficulty real or supposed has grown out of the circumstances of my having been connected with the negotiation at St Mary's I feel it my duty to state to the committee that I acted from an entire conviction of its propriety and an anxious desire on my part to promote the welfare and accomplish the wishes of the whole people of the State in assisting to add a large and fertile tract of country to that which we already possess"
The legislature proceeded to summon everyone in the surrounding area who had any knowledge of the events at St Mary's, but found that none were certain of Jennings' exact role in the commission. After a short period of debate, the House passed a resolution 15 to 13 that Jennings would be recognized as the "rightful governor" and that the impeachment proceedings would be dropped. Christopher Harrison was outraged by the decision and resigned. He considered his honor tarnished and ran against Jennings in his reelection bid of 1820. Jennings took advantage of Harrison’s single issue by changing the topic of the election to the state’s financial situation. He offered to accept no salary from the state if elected to a second term. He won the election with 11,256 votes to Harrison’s 2,008.
Financial problems
Besides harming the state's finances, the Panic of 1819 also had a negative impact on Jennings’s financial affairs. He attempted shore up his position by soliciting a $1,000 loan from the Harmonists in a letter to political ally George Rapp
, but he was turned down. He was finally able to procure money through loans from a number of different friends by granting mortgages on most of his land. The price of land decreased significantly, however, and he was forced to sell several tracts at a loss to cover his position before he could secure the loans. To complicate matters, Jennings was too busy with the state government to adequately manage his farm, which was not turning a profit, and having no income from his position in the government, his financial situation was quickly becoming dire.
Jennings had been spending large amounts of money to maintain his Corydon home, and frequently held large dinners with state officials and community leaders. In his most high-profile dinner, he hosted President James Monroe
Jennings had been spending large amounts of money to maintain his Corydon home, and frequently held large dinners with state officials and community leaders. In his most high-profile dinner, he hosted President James Monroe
and General Andrew Jackson
who were making a tour of the frontier states in 1819. The governorship only continued to grow as a financial burden to Jennings.
To remedy his problem, he decided he needed to return to Congress where his salary could cover his reduced expenses and allow him to return to prosperity. He made an arrangement with the wealthier congressman William Hendricks in which he would support Hendricks bid for the governorship in the upcoming election if Hendricks would resign from Congress and support Jennings in the special election for the seat. During the final year of his second three-year term as governor, Jennings ran unopposed for Congress and in 1822 he was easily elected as a Democratic-Republican to the 17th Congress. After winning the election, he resigned his position as governor and was succeeded by Lieutenant Governor

After winning the election, he resigned his position as governor and was succeeded by Lieutenant Governor
; Hendricks ran unopposed and was subsequently elected to succeed Boon.
Return to Congress
Jennings continued to promote internal infrastructure improvement in Congress and used the issue as a platform for the remainder of his time there. He won reelection four times and became a Jacksonian Republican in the 18th Congress
. He switched his allegiance becoming an Adams Republican in the 19th and 20th Congress
es. He then aligned with the Anti-Jacksonians in the 21st Congress. During his terms, he introduced legislation to build more forts in the northwest, to grant federal funding for improvement projects in Indiana and Ohio, and led the debate in support of granting federal funds to build the nations longest canal, Wabash and Erie Canal
, through Indiana. After the contested election of President Andrew Jackson in 1824 the House of Representatives decided the election, and Jennings voted with the majority giving Jackson the presidency. He served twice as Grand Master of the Indiana Grand Lodge of Freemasons during the later 1820s. In 1824, William Henry Harrison returned to Indiana to stump for the Adams Presidential candidate and Jennings and Harrison found themselves on the same side. The two men toured the state together, endorsing John Quincy Adams
. They also gave speeches where they indicated their past political feud was over. In 1825 Jennings was a candidate in the Indiana General Assembly for the United States Senate
. On the first ballot he came in second, and on the second ballot he came in third, losing the vote in the General Assembly to incumbent governor William Hendricks.
Jennings’ wife died in 1826 after a protected illness; the couple had no children. Jennings was deeply saddened by her loss and began to drink liquor more heavily. In a letter to his sister he also noted that he was afflicted with severe rheumatism
Jennings’ wife died in 1826 after a protected illness; the couple had no children. Jennings was deeply saddened by her loss and began to drink liquor more heavily. In a letter to his sister he also noted that he was afflicted with severe rheumatism
. While drinking in 1828, an accident occurred in which plaster from the ceiling of his Washington D.C. boarding room fell upon his head, severely injuring him and preventing him from attending Congress for nearly a month. Later that year he remarried to Clarissa Barbee, but his drinking condition only worsened and he was frequently inebriated. In his final term in office, the House journals show that he introduced no legislation, was frequently not present to vote on matters, and only once delivered a speech. His friends took note of his situation, and a group led by Senator John Tipton
decided to attempt to block his 1830 reelection bid. Tipton enlisted the help of war hero John Carr
to oppose Jennings in the election while also arranging for other popular Anti-Jackson men to enter the race and divide Jennings' supporters. Tipton hoped that the need to work would force Jennings to give up his heavy drinking. Carr defeated Jennings, who left office on March 3, 1831.
Retirement
Jennings retired with his wife to his home in Charlestown. His alcoholism continued to worsen to the point where he was unable to tend his farm. Without an income his creditors began moving to seize his estate. In 1832, Tipton purchased the mortgage on Jennings’s farm and enlisted the help of local financier James Lanier
to buy up the debt on Jennings’s other holdings; in total Jennings owed the two men several thousand dollars in addition to hundreds of dollars in loans to various other individuals. Tipton allowed Jennings to remain on the farm without paying his debt, but Lanier began selling some of Jennings property holdings to recover some of his money when it became apparent that Jennings had no intention of paying his debt.
Despite his destitution, Jennings made no attempt to repair his fortunes. Feeling that he may have been mistaken to force him out of public service, Tipton helped Jennings find a new position in hope that it would stir him to recover, and secured him an appointment to negotiate a treaty with native tribes in northern Indiana. Jennings attended the negotiations of the Treaty of Tippecanoe

Jennings attended the negotiations of the Treaty of Tippecanoe
to purchase all the tribal held lands in northern Indiana, but the delegation was able to secure the purchase of only lands in northwestern Indiana. Afterwards, Jennings again returned to his farm where his health steadily declined. He spent considerable time a local tavern and often was unable to reach his home after leaving and was discovered on multiple occasions to be sleeping in ditches and neighborhood barns. Jennings died of a heart attack most likely brought on by another bout with jaundice on July 26, 1834 near Charlestown. He was interred after a brief ceremony and was buried in an unmarked grave on his farm; he lacked the funds to purchase a headstone.
-Legacy
Following his death, Tipton sold Jennings’ farm and gave the proceeds as a gift to Jennings’ widow. Lanier took possession of his land holdings, and a great many small creditors from whom Jennings had solicited personal loans were left unpaid, leaving him sorely dislike among his community at the time of his death. On three separate occasions, petitions were brought before the Indiana General Assembly to purchase a grave stone for Jennings, but each attempt failed. A fourth petition was circulated in 1887 that finally received attention. The state granted the petition and a headstone was purchased by the state in 1888. A group of school children who attended Jennings’ funeral ceremony were the only witnesses of Jennings’ burial that were still living. After the site was independently verified three times, Jennings’ body was exhumed and moved the Charlestown cemetery where he was reburied with a headstone. Jonathan Jennings Elementary School in Charlestown
and Jennings County
are both named in his honor.

Historians have varied interpretations of Jennings’ life and his impact on the development of Indiana. The state’s early historians, like William Woollen and Jacob Piatt Dunn
, wrote of Jennings in an almost mythical manner and focused on the strong positive leadership he provided Indiana in its formative years. Dunn referred to Jennings as the “young Hercules”, and praised his crusade against Harrison and slavery. During the prohibition era in the early twentieth century, historians like Logan Eseray and Arthur Blythe wrote more critical works of Jennings, describing him as a “crafty and self promoting politician,” and dismissed his importance and impact on Indiana, saying the legislature and its leading men set the tone of the era. They tended focused on his alcoholism and destitution in later life and the basis of their opinions. Modern historians like Howard Peckham and Keith Miller say that the truth of Jennings’ legacy lies somewhere between the two extremes. Miller, quoting Woollen, says that the state “owes him a debt which can never be calculated” for his role in preventing the spread of slavery and in changing the future of the state by pulling it out of the sphere of the southern slave states and making Indiana a truly northern free state.[12]

Summary
During the American War of Independence troops from var-
ious German territories fought on the British side,
including one unit from Waldeck called the Third English-
Waldeck Mercenary Regiment. All these auxiliary troops
are known under the name "Hessians" because the Land-
gravate of Hesse-Kassel provided the largest contingent
of mercenary units.

1867
Six children of William Harrison Goodlove and Sarah Catherine Pyle were born between 1867 and 1882; he would have been 46 and Sarah would have been 38 when Jessie Pearl was born. (Ref#46) [22]
1867: Gottlober also published Hebrew short stories: “Kol rinah vi-yeshu‘ah be-ohole tsadikim” (1875), “Hizaharu bi-vene ha-‘aniyim” (1880), and “Orot me-ofel” (1881). His stories commonly focused on issues that agitated the Jewish communities he was familiar with: unequal distribution of the burden of the Russian military draft, and obstacles in the way of youth who hoped to explore the Enlightenment. Gottlober also published a play, Tif’eret li-vene binah (1867).[23]
1867: Gottlober’s proficiency in various languages (including Russian and German) enabled him to translate poetry and prose into Hebrew. Among the works he translated were Gotthold Lessing’s Nathan der Weise (Nathan the Wise; 1874) and Moses Mendelssohn’s Jerusalem(1867). In his poetry anthologies, Gottlober also incorporated translations of poems from German and Russian, including German poets such as Schiller and Goethe.[24]
1867: Gottlober was one of the first maskilim of his time to write about Jewish history. His initial book in this field was Bikoret le-toldot ha-Kara’im (Critique of the History of the Karaites; 1865). Several years later, his Toldot ha-Kabalah veha-ḥasidut (History of the Kabbalahand Hasidism; 1869) appeared. His inclination was to deal with social and intellectual history, a topic that found expression in his autobiographical works: Zikhronot mi-yeme ne‘urai, meshulavim ‘im zikhronot ha-dor(Memoirs from the Days of My Youth, Joined with Memoirs of the Generation; 1880) and Zikhronot le-korot Haskalat ‘amenu be-artsenu erets Rusya’(Memoirs of the History of the Enlightenment of Our People in Our Land, the Land of Russia; 1884). In 1867, Gottlober began planning the publication of a history of Jews in the southwest Russian Empire, based on communal registers and the records of local societies.[25]
1867
At wars end Southern States Legislatures passed measures designed to maintain white superiority. These laws known as black codes severely curtailed the newly freed slaves civil rights. In effect, returning them to a state of bondage and making them second class citizens. In response, angry Congressional republicans passed the Reconstruction act of 1867. A strict set of laws that temporarily abolished southern state governments, divided the south into military districts, and gave blacks the right to vote. The defeated south again felt invaded by the Northern authority. White supremacy was threatened.
Soon after passage of the reconstruction act, Clan leaders from all over Tennessee held a secret meeting in Nashville. The man granted control of the clan was Nathan Bedford Forest, former Confederate General and out spoken critic of Federal Reconstruction.[26]
1867: The Turkish Ottoman Empire ruled the entire Middle East region from 1516-1917. During this 400 years of harsh Turkish rule, the land of Palestine (Israel) was sparsely populated, mostly by nomadic peoples. By the end of the 18thcentury, much of the land was owned by absentee landlords and leased to impoverished tenant farmers. The land was poorly cultivated and a widely neglected expanse of eroded hills, sandy deserts, and malarial marshes encroached on what was left of agricultural land. Its ancient irrigation systems, terraces, towns, and villages had crumbled. Taxation was crippling, with its forsts being taxed. When the people could not pay the tax, the trees were cut down to fuel the steam engines carrying goods between Istanbul, Beirut, Damascus, and Cairo. The great forests of the Galilee and the Carmel mountain range were denuded of trees; swamp and desert encroached on agricultural land. “Palestine” was truly a poor, neglected, noman’s land with no important cities.
Mark Twain, who visited Palestine in 1867, described it as “desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds, a silent mournful expanse…We never saw a human being on the whole route….There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.[28] [29]

Taken sixty five years ago, the above picture shows what was probably the first reunion of the early settlers of Linn county held at Mt. Vernon. Included in the picture are many of the pioneers whose names stand out baravely in the history of a century of growth in Linn county. This reunion was long before the Linn County Old Settlers association was formed. The picture is the property of Mrs. Mary English, whose father, Richard Thjomas, was one those included in the picture. It won first prize in the Old Pictures Contest conducted the Sentinel this spring.[32]
1872: Cynthiana, Kentucky: The first city public school was in the old Harrison Academy building on South Church Street. The trustees of the Academy gave gave their part of the building to the City. The second floor of the building was owned by the Masonic Lodge, they sold their part of the building to the City for $2,000.00.[33]
November 27, 1897: On August 17, 1942 Convoy 20 left Drancy, France for Auschwitz with 581 children. On board was Paulette Gotlib born in Paris (12) February 19, 1936, age 6. Her brother Simone born June 18, 1939, age 4, was also on board. Their home was 35, r Francois Arago, Montreuil, France. Prior to deportation to Auschwitz they were held at Camp Pithiviers[34]. Pithiviers is of global historical interest as one of the locally infamous World War II concentration camps where children were separated from their parents while the adults were processed and deported to camps farther away, usually Auschwitz. [35] Also on board was Rachla Gotlib born March 22, 1908 from Chanciny, Poland. On board from Vienne Austria was Gertrude Gottlieb born July 6, 1901 and Michel Gottlieb born November 27, 1897.[36]
November 27, 1919: During the previous sping, the DPI and ISTA had been successful in pushing legislation through the General Assembly designed to make consolidation more attractive and easier to accomplish politically. By the time Grant arrived in Buck Creek in fall 1919, the ISTA with political support from the DPI had already begun a massive campaign to complete rural school consolidation in the state. ISTA was ready to supply written material on consolidation, stereopticaon slides of consolidated schools across the state, speakers, forms to be used in organizing consolidation drives, and free legal advice. The campaign was aided immeasurably by the hyperinflation of land values, by high agricultural commodity prices, and by the lure of middle class modernity seemingly assured by continuing prosperity. In its pamphleteering and exhortation, the consolidation campaign was rivaled in rural areas only by the efforts of the U.S. Department of agriculture to sign up farmers as members of the Farm Bureau.[37]
November 27, 1940: Speer sends a telex from Hitler’s residence in OberSalsburg to ask about the clearance of Jewish apartments in Berlin. Acting on the orders of the general building inspector, 23,000 Jewish apartments are registered and cleared.[38]
November 27, 1941: Sidonie Gottlieb, born February 13,1896 in Berlin, Schoneberg, Potsdamer Str. 131; 7. Resided Berlin. Deportation: from Berlin, November 27, 1941, Riga. Date of death: November 30, 1941, Riga.[39] The first transportation to come directly to Riga was also caught up in the clearance of the Riga ghetto on November 30. The passengers, approximately 730 Berlin Jews, who had had to leave their home city on November 27, died in the early morning of November 30, immediately before the arrival of their Latvian fellow sufferers. On November 30, known as Rigaer Blutsonntag or Riga Bloody Sunday, and on December 8/9, 26,500 Latvian Jews were murdered in the woods of Rumbula by members of the SS and the police as well as Latvian volunteers.[40]
