February 10, 1258: Mongols overran Baghdad, burning it to the ground and killing 10,000 citizens. This marked the beginning of the Il-khan (Mongol) Dynasty in Persia. The Dynasty lasted until 1335. With the conquest of Baghdad by the grandson of Genghis Khan, the Mongol dynasty replaced the Abbasids. The Mongols were for the most part tolerant of Judaism. An Arab writer reported that on the eve of the Mongolian invasion there were 36,000 Jews living in the city and that they supported 16 Synagogues. Most of the city was destroyed during the siege. It is during this period that Judeo-Persian literature flourished specifically the poetry of Shahin whose most famous work was Sefer Sharh Shain al Hatorah.[1]
1259: Death of Ezzelino de Romano the Lord of Verona, Kublai Khan the governor of China also starts ruling Mongolia, Llywelyn Prince of Wales establishes peace between England and Wales, English and French sign Treaty of Paris. [2]
1260: Thomas Aquinas publishes Summa Contra Gentiles, a summary of Christian faith to be presented to those who reject it. The Jews who refuse to convert are regarded as “deliberately defiant” rather than “invincibly ignorant”. [3]
February 10, 1349: The corporations ran to the weapons, and established their headquarters in Gurtlerhof, street of the Dome. The rioters entered the following day, February 10, in the houses of the three representatives favorable to the Jews, deposited them, like all the town council, and seized the seals and the banner of the city. Then crowd named a new consulting, of which the ammeister was the butcher Johannes Betschold, assited by Nicolas de Bulach and Gosso Engelbrecht. The new magistrates lent oath and carried out the judgement of their predecessors. Schwarber was condemned to the banishment, deposed rights of middle class and its fortune was shared between the new elected officials, except on the one hand, who returned to his/her children. It finished its days with Benfeld. His/her two companions were excluded from the consulting for one ten years duration.[4]

The bodies of King Henry and his servant were discovered in the garden of Kirk o' Field after an explosion which completely destroyed the king's residence, Old Provost's Lodging, at about 02:00 10 Feb 1567. Both men were presumed to have been strangled and there was no evidence of burning or damage from the blast on either body.

February 10, 1755: French author and political philosopher Charles Louis De Secondat Montesquieu, simply known as Montesquieu passed away. A product of the Age of Reason, the optimistic Montesquieu’s most famous work is De l'esprit des lois which is known in English as The Spirit of the Laws, published in 1748. Montesquieu did not just believe in religious toleration. He believed that the state had a responsibility to see to it that religious groups leave each other in peace. In the Spirit of Laws he writes, “’I cannot help remarking by the way how this nation (the Jews) has been sported with from one age to another: at one time their effects were confiscated when they were will to become Christians; and at another, if they refused to become Christians they were ordered to be burn.’” He described the Jews as a “’a mother that brought forth two daughters who have stabbed herewith a thousand wounds.’” As befitted his optimistic views, Montesquieu believed “’the Jews are at present safe; superstition will return no more, and they will no longer be exterminated on conscientious principles.’” Unfortunately, History would prove him wrong.[8]
February 10, 1763: The Treaty of Paris, often called the Peace of Paris, or the Treaty of 1763, was signed on by the kingdoms of Great Britain, France and Spain, with Portugal in agreement marking the end of the Seven Years War which those living in North America called the French and Indian War. As part of the agreement, France ceded Quebec to the British. This opened the way to Jewish settlement in Canada since French law had prohibited Jews from settling the colony. Under “the law of unintended consequences,” the war left Britain with a debt that it looked to the North American colonies to help pay off. The taxation levied on the 13 colonies was a cause of the American Revolution which helped to create the nation that has become home to one of the leading Jewish communities in our history.[9] Coming to America as German Mercenaries to fight for England were two Germans by the name of Conrad Gotlieb and Francis Gotlop. They did not return to Germany. Their families are now known as the Goodlove’s and the Godlove’s and their unique Cohen DNA lives on today. Thus was begun the war known as the French and Indian War, between England on the one hand and France with the Indians as their allies on the other, terminated by the treaty of peace of February 10, 1763, by which France left to the English all her possessions east of the Mississippi, including Canada, and excepting New Orleans. But the building of the fort at the Forks of the Ohio by the Virginians awakened Pennsylvania to an assertion of her rights to the lands west of the Alleghanies, and to a dispute with Virginia as to her western boundary that was not terminated and the line agreed upon until 1780.

In the 16th through 18th centuries the Jewish population increases steadily. In 1764, on the eve of the first Polish partition and the annexation of territories by Russia, there are .75 million Jews in Poland-Lithuania, forming 20 to 30 percent of the population in the larger cities and 70-90 percent in smaller towns.[13]

1764: Settlement of St. Louis began on west side of Mississippi River.[21]
1764.— Col. Henry Bouquet builds the Redoubt. [22] The country west of the Alleghany Mountains was naturally a prize to be coveted by the colonial jurisdictions within reach of it.
Look upon a map of it, and see how well it is watered. Then
imagine it in its virgin condition, covered with forests of magnificent
trees, everywhere except perhaps along the large rivers where the
adjacent valleys were swept clear by every freshet or flood. And
it was full of game. Thomas Hutchins, an engineer with Bouquet's
Expedition in 1764, wrote of it in his Topographical Description of
Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland, published in London in 1778:
"The whole country abounds in Bears, Elks, Buffalos, Deer, Turkeys,
etc., an unquestionable proof of the goodness of its Soil." He quotes
from Gordon, a still earlier explorer: "This country may, from a
proper knowledge, be affirmed to be the most healthy, the most
pleasant, the most commodious, and the most fertile spot on earth,
known to European people."[23]

WILLIAM CRAWFORD, THOMAS DUNMORE AND CO., VS VALENTINE CRAWFORD
WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA 1764-65

On February 10, 1773, and upon the Governor giving his consent to the bill, the new county of Westmoreland became a legal reality. The Assembly voted Justice St. Clair ₤25 for his expenses to Philadelphia, to the Assembly, and to New York to see General Gage. The new county of Westmoreland was described by the following boundaries:
“Beginning at the province line, where the most westerly branch commonly called the South of Great Branch of Youghiogheny crosses the same; thence down the easterly side of said branch and river to Laurel Hill, thence along the ridge of said hill, northeastward, so far as it can be traced, or till it runs into the Allegheny Hill; thence along the ridge dividing the waters of Susquehanna and the Allegheny River, to the purchase line at the head of Susquehanna; thence directly west to the limits of the province, and by the same to the place of beginning.”[26]
February 10th: 1774.(George Washington) At home all day. After Breakfast Mr. Campbell went away and in the Afternoon Mr. Hugh Stephenson came.[27] (Hugh Stephenson is my half sixth great grand father).
February 10, 1775: Devereux Smith made affidavit at Hannastown, February 10, 1775,
before Joseph Spear, J. P., one of his majesty's justices for Westmore-
land county, deposing that :
On the 8th instant between 8 and 9 o'c, 12 or more armed men belonging to the
garrison kept up by Lord Dunmore's orders surrounded the house of Devereux
Smith in Pittsburgh in said county of Westmoreland and attempted to break open his doors
and windows to the great terror of his family, at the same time telling him what the
Virginia boys could do. That with the violence of their throwing stones they split one
of his window shutters and continued about the street until near 12 o'c during which
he was under necessity of sitting up in arms to protect his infant family.7
Colonel William Crawford was blamed for many such outbreaks, as
he was a violent partisan of Virginia. In the archives of Pennsylvania
there are records of Robert Hanna, of Hannastown ; William Lochry, a
justice of the peace ; John Carnaghan, sheriff of Westmoreland county ;
James Smith and Samuel McKenzie, citizens, complaining to Governor
Penn of acts of violence of the Virginia partisans. .[28][29] (William Crawford is my 6th Great grandfather.)

February 10, 1846
Brigham Young leads the Mormon migration west from Nauvoo, Illinois.[35] Their leader assassinated and their homes under attack, the Mormons of Nauvoo, Illinois, begin a long westward migration that eventually brings them to the valley of the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
The members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been persecuted for their beliefs ever since Joseph Smith founded the church in New York in 1830. Smith's claim to be a modern-day prophet of God and his acceptance of polygamy proved controversial wherever the Mormons attempted to settle. In 1839, Smith hoped his new spiritual colony of Nauvoo in Missouri would provide a permanent safe haven for the Saints, but anti-Mormon prejudice there proved virulent. Angry mobs murdered Smith and his brother in June 1844 and began burning homes and threatening the citizens of Nauvoo.
Convinced that the Mormons would never find peace in the United States, Smith's successor, Brigham Young, made a bold decision: the Mormons would move to the still wild territories of the Mexican-controlled Southwest. Young had little knowledge of the geography and environment of the West and no particular destination in mind, but trusting in God, he began to prepare the people of Nauvoo for a mass exodus.
On this day in 1846, Young abandoned Nauvoo and began leading 1,600 Mormons west across the frozen Mississippi in subzero temperatures to a temporary refuge at Sugar Grove, Iowa. Young planned to make the westward trek in stages, and he determined the first major stopping point would be along the Missouri River opposite Council Bluffs. He sent out a reconnaissance team to plan the route across Iowa, dig wells at camping spots, and in some cases, plant corn to provide food for the hungry emigrants. The mass of Mormons made the journey to the Missouri River, and by the fall of 1846, the Winter Quarters were home to 12,000 Mormons.
After a hard journey across the western landscape, Young and his followers emerged out onto a broad valley where a giant lake shimmered in the distance. With his first glimpse of this Valley of the Great Salt Lake, Young reportedly said, "This is the place." That year, some 1,600 Mormons arrived to begin building a new civilization in the valley. The next year, 2,500 more made the passage. By the time Young died in 1877, more than 100,000 people were living in the surrounding Great Basin, the majority of them Mormons.
Young, however, had not escaped the troubles that plagued the Church in the East. By early 1848, the Mormons' haven became a U.S. territory after the American victory in the Mexican War. The Mormons had finally found a permanent home along the Great Salt Lake, but its isolation and freedom from persecution was short-lived.[36]

Alexander Adolf August Karl von Linsingen (1850-1935) was one of the best German field commanders during World War I.
Linsingen joined the Prussian Army in 1868 and rose to Corps Commander in 1909. He was one of the very few top German generals not to have served on the general staff.
At the beginning of World War I, Linsingen was a Corps commander in the First Battle of the Marne. Transferred to the Eastern Front where German and Austrian armies were threatened by a Russian offensive in Galicia, Linsingen took command of Army Group South (1915). He defeated the Russian armies in the Battle of Stryi in 1915, capturing 60,000 Russian prisoners. He was awarded the Pour le Mérite. In 1916 he faced the Brusilov offensive. After an initial retreat, he checked the Russian advance near Kovel. He was promoted to Colonel-General, the highest rank for a general in the German Army. In 1917-1918 he led the German offense to Ukraine. After the end of the war with Russia, he became the Military Governor of Berlin (1918). Under the Nazis, outraged by their racist policies, Linsingen who was a Christian but of Jewish descent, demonstratively joined the Union of Jewish War Veterans. Alexander von Linsingen died on June 5, 1935 and is interned at the Neuen St. Nikolai-Friedhof in Hannover, Germany.

United States citizenship laws are amended to provide citizenship to all children of American parents born outside the United States.[37]
February 10, 1861: Jefferson Davis receives word that he has been selected president of the new Confederate States of America.
Davis was at his plantation, Brierfield, pruning rose bushes with his wife Varina when a messenger arrived from nearby Vicksburg. It was not a job he wanted, but he accepted it out of a sense of duty to his new country. Varina later wrote that she saw her husband's face grow pale and she recalled, "Reading that telegram he looked so grieved that I feared some evil had befallen our family. After a few minutes he told me like a man might speak of a sentence of death."
Davis said of the job: "I have no confidence in my ability to meet its requirement. I think I could perform the function of a general." He could see the difficulties involved in launching the new nation. "Upon my weary heart was showered smiles, plaudits, and flowers, but beyond them I saw troubles innumerable. We are without machinery, without means, and threatened by powerful opposition but I do not despond and will not shrink from the task before me."
Davis was prescient in his concerns. He drew sharp criticism during the war--Alexander Stephens, the vice president, said Davis was "weak and vacillating, timid, petulant, peevish, obstinate," and Stephens declared that he held "no more feeling of resentment toward him" than he did toward his "poor old blind and deaf dog." [38]
February 18, 1861: On this day in 1861, Jefferson Davis, a veteran of the Black Hawk and Mexican-American Wars, begins his term as provisional president of the Confederate States of America. As it turned out, Davis was both the first and last president of the ill-fated Confederacy, as both his term and the Confederacy ended with the Union's 1865 victory in the Civil War.
Born in Kentucky and raised in Mississippi, Davis graduated from West Point in 1828. In 1824, at the age of 26, he married his first wife, Sarah, the 16-year-old daughter of then-Colonel Zachary Taylor, against Taylor's wishes. The marriage ended after only three months when Sarah died of malaria. Davis remarried at age 37 in 1845, this time to a prominent 17-year-old Southern socialite and budding author named Varnia Howell.
Upon his election to the House of Representatives in 1844, Davis immediately put his pro-slavery vote into action, opposing the Compromise of 1850 and other policies that would have limited the expansion of slavery into new American territories. He interrupted his political service in 1851 to fight in the Mexican-American War, during which his bravery and success prompted then-General Taylor to declare My daughter, sir, was a better judge of men than I was.
Following the war, Davis accepted an appointment to fill a suddenly vacant Mississippi seat in the U.S. Senate, but resigned after only a year to launch an unsuccessful bid for the governorship of Mississippi. Davis then campaigned for Franklin Pierce's presidential campaign; upon winning, Pierce rewarded him with the post of secretary of war in 1853. In this capacity, Davis proved instrumental in advocating for the development of a transcontinental railroad. When Pierce lost his presidential reelection bid, Davis ran for a Senate seat and won.
Although a staunch supporter of slavery, Davis vigorously opposed the secessionist movement until 1860 when Abraham Lincoln came to power. Davis' attempts to solidify states' rights failed repeatedly and, disillusioned, he decided to resign from the Senate. On January 10, 1861, Davis led Mississippi in following South Carolina's example and seceding from the Union. The following month, he was sworn in as provisional president of the Confederate States of America. (Davis was referred to as the provisional president because he had been appointed by the Confederate Congress rather than elected by the populace.) He moved his family to the southern White House in Richmond, Virginia, and prepared for a six-year presidential term.
Davis' refusal to appoint a general commander of southern forces and his attempt to manage the Southern army and government at the same time is thought to have contributed to the South's defeat. After the fall of Atlanta in 1865, he was captured in Georgia, clapped in irons and indicted for treason. After two years, he was finally released on bail; charges against him were not dropped until 1869. While in prison he staved off financial ruin by selling his Mississippi estate to a former slave. A rebel to the end, Davis refused to swear an oath of allegiance that would have reinstated his U.S. citizenship even after his release from prison. The time spent incarcerated impacted his health, and on December 6, 1889, Davis died in New Orleans.[39]

February 10, 1899: On this day in 1899, future President Herbert Hoover marries his fellow Stanford University geology student and sweetheart Lou Henry in Monterey, California.
After their nuptials, the newlyweds departed on a honeymoon cruise to China, where Hoover had accepted a position as mining consultant to the Chinese emperor. Barely a year into their married life, the Hoovers got caught in China's Boxer Rebellion of 1900, in which Chinese nationalists rebelled against European colonial control and besieged 800 westerners in the city of Tientsin. Hoover led a group of westerners in building protective barricades while Lou volunteered in a nearby hospital. After the rebellion was put down by an international coalition of troops, the Hoovers left China, splitting their time between residences in California and London and traveling the world.
Raised in Monterey, California, Lou Henry shared her husband's appreciation of the outdoors and athletics. While Hoover served as secretary of commerce in the early 1920s, she helped build the Girl Scouts organization and presided over the Women's Division of the National Amateur Athletic Federation. The Hoovers' experience in China inspired them to also engage in relief work for refugees and tourists stranded in hostile countries. During World War I, Lou chaired the American Women's War Relief Fund and other war-related charitable organizations. In 1929, she became the first president's wife to invite the wife of an African-American congressman to a social function at the White House. The civic-minded and intelligent Mrs. Hoover spoke five languages, authored books and articles and received eight honorary degrees in her lifetime.
Hoover's tenure as president coincided with the Great Depression. Although he had warned against the type of market speculation that led to the stock market crash of 1929, the country blamed him for the Depression for the rest of his term. Lou Hoover stepped up her charitable work during the crisis, but received harsh criticism for continuing to hold lavish White House social events at a time when unprecedented numbers of American citizens suffered utter poverty. Her actions contributed to the president's unpopularity and Hoover left office in disgrace after one term.[43]

February 10, 1936: With the unification of the police and the SS, the Gestapo became the supreme police agency of Nazi Germany. Gestapo Law was enacted in Prussia, giving them exclusive right to make arrests, and entitled to investigate all activities considered hostile to the state. The same law gave the Gestapo complete independence from the courts.[45]
February 10, 1943: Rothke addressed a short letter to his superiors in Paris, informing them that the “first train left Drancy with 1,000 stateless Jes who were in the deportable category.”
This convoy was composed of 447 males and 545 females, and 8 undetermined. A count by nationality shows: 475 males and 545 females, and und 8 undetermined. A count by nationality shows: 475 Poles; 170 Russians; 85 French; 45 Romanians; some 40 Germans; 40 Greeks; 30 Dutch; and about 15 Turks and 15 Austrians. Two hundred seven of the deportees were over 60, and there were 130 children under 18.
This list is very poor condition. There is no indication as to what camps the deportees came from. There are two sublists of “reserves” to complete the quota.
There were several escapes, one of which was successful (XXVc-213); see also La let des Juifs in France, by A. Rutkowski; CDJC-1975; pp. 147-49. [46]
February 10, 1944: The first ship to break the British blockade of Palestine arrives in Eretz Israel. Worldwide publicity of "illegal" immigration of Jews to Israel was an important factor in England's ultimate decision to give up the mandate. Most of you know the story the “Exodus” which Leon Uris used as basis for novel of that name that later was a big screen Hollywood event. The story was based on an actual event that took place in 1947. However, it was only one a series of blockade runners seeking to bring Jews from Europe to Palestine despite the White Paper banning immigration and the military might of the British Royal Navy.[47]
1944: Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was honored today for her work in helping to rehabilitate 40,000 refugee children in Israel. More than 1,000 persons attended the meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel where she received the first citation and cash award given for humanitarian work with children by Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, in memory of the late Henrietta Szold, founder of the organization.[48]

[27] Hugh Stephenson, a son of GW’s old friend Richard Stephenson of Frederick County and a half brother to Valentine and William Crawford, lived in the Shenandoah Valley until the Revolution. In response to a request by the Continental Congress in June 1775, Virginia raised two companies of riflemen, most of whom came from the Valley and the frontier. The two companies, led by Capt. Daniel Morgan and Capt. Hugh Stephenson, marched to Cambridge and participated in the siege of Boston. A year later (June 1776) Stephenson, now a colonel, was put in command of a combined Virginia-Maryland rifle regiment in the Continental service and died that summer during the New York campaign.

[30] ‘George Rogers Clark was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, on the 19th of November, 1752. lIe was originally a land surveyor. He commanded a company in Dunmore’s war of 1774. The year following, he went to Kentucky and took command of the armed settlers there. In the spring of 1778, Major Clark was entrusted with the command of an expedition against the Illinois country, then in possession of the British. The enterprise was undertaken under the auspices of Virginia, and was entirely successful. He was promoted to a colonelcy by the authorities of his native state, and while engaged in a pacification of the Indian tribes upon or near the Mississippi, he learned that Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton, of Detroit, had captured Vincennes, and that further blows were to be struck against American posts. Anticipating the enemy, Colonel Clark marched, on the 7th of February, 1779, with one hundred and seventy-five men, against Vincennes. He had to traverse a wilderness and the drowned lands of Illinois, suffering every privation from wet, cold and hunger. Vincennes surrendered. Hamilton was made prisoner and sent to Virginia. In August, 1780, Clark led a force against the Shawanese Indians, located upon the waters of the Mad river, in what is now the state of Ohio, defeating them with considerable loss. During Arnold’s invasion, he took a temporary command under Baron Steuben. His next enterprise was directed against Detroit, the site of the present city of that name in the state of Michigan. He was now a brigadier general. This expedition proved a failure. (Ante, pp. 53, 76, etc.) In the fall of 1782, he made a successful campaign from Kentucky against the Indians (see, letters, p. 401 ~, but upon a like service in 1786, was unsuccessful. He died near Louisville, Kentucky, February 13, 1818. Washington-Irvine Correspondence by C. W. Butterfield, 1882 page 392.

[40] Duff Green Mansion, stands majestically on First East Street in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The home was constructed in 1856 by local businessman Duff Green for his new wife Mary Lake Green, and features a huge ballroom and dining room, and was known to be the site of many extravagant parties for the elite of pre-war Vicksburg. When the fighting in the Civil War turned to Vicksburg, the Greens made a prudent decision to offer their beloved home as a hospital. The Union wounded were kept on the top floor, the Confederate soldiers were on the main floor, and the basement was used for an Emergeny Room and Surgery. Because of the bloody battle, the house was filled with soldiers from both sides, and some of the blood stains are still on the floors today. Because there wasn’t time, knowledge, or tools to save limbs during surgery, amputation was very common. One basement room was used for that purpose, and because Duff Green Mansion was built on a hill it had a window that was above ground. As the story goes, amputated limbs were tossed out of the window to be taken and buried later, and often there were piles of arms and legs that were many feet tall before they were taken away. After the surrender of Vicksburg on July 4, 1863, the Mansion was leased to the United States Government for use as a Soldiers Home where wounded soldiers could recuperate before their respective journeys home. When the current owners were remodeling in the 1980’s they reportedly found several skeletal limbs buried just below the surface of the ground under that window, they called the police, who had the local funeral home inter the civil war era bones.
Visitors to the home who have a medical background often back out of the room, siting the smell of ether and other medical smell, even though no one else can pick up that scent. In an adjoining room downstairs, guests of the Bed & Breakfast sleeping in the Dixie room sometimes wake up to see a Confederate soldier either standing by the mantle, or rocking in a chair. He’s missing one leg, so apparently he’s been a guest of the hospital at some point. (Duff Green Mansion B & B and Tour Home 1114 First East Street, Vicksburg MS 39180, 601-636-6968.
