April 29, 1776: On this day in 1776, shortly after the American victory at Boston, Massachusetts, General George Washington orders Brigadier General Nathanael Greene to take command of Long Island and set up defensive positions against a possible British attack on New York City.
Greene's troops were arranged to defend themselves against a frontal attack in Brooklyn Heights across from Manhattan. On August 26, 1776, the British took the vast majority of Long Island with ease, as the island's population was heavily Loyalist. On August 27, the troops at Brooklyn Heights disintegrated under an unexpected attack from their left flank. In a British effort to earn goodwill for a negotiated peace, they allowed American survivors to flee to Manhattan. Otherwise, the War for Independence might easily have been quashed less than three months after it began.
Born in Rhode Island in August 1742, Greene was elected to the Rhode Island legislature at the age of 28 in 1770. Overcoming his Quaker scruples against violence and warfare, Greene joined a local militia at the outbreak of the American Revolution in 1774 and was promoted to the rank of brigadier general of the Continental Army by Congress in 1775.
At the siege of Boston in March 1776, Greene was assigned to General Washington's brigade and a lifelong friendship between the two men began. Shortly after several American losses in and around New York in the summer and fall of 1776, Greene was promoted to major general of the Continental Army under Washington.
After leading troops into several successful battles, including the Battle of Trenton in December 1776 and the Battle of Germantown in October 1777, Greene succeeded Thomas Mifflin as quartermaster general in March 1778. Greene was named commander in chief of the Southern Army in October 1778; he commanded troops on the battlefield throughout the rest of the revolution. After twice turning down offers to become secretary of war, Greene retired from the military in 1785. Less than one year later, in June 1786, Greene died at his Georgia home.[1]
April 29, 1778; A pair of stocks, whipping post, pillory in the court house yard and a compleat bar inside the court house ordered to be built.

April 29, 1825: Treaty of Indian Springs
Description: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/Menawa_high_resolution.jpg/200px-Menawa_high_resolution.jpg
Description: http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.18/common/images/magnify-clip.png
Menawa visited Washington, D.C. in 1826 to protest the Treaty of Indian Springs. Painted by Charles Bird King.
There are two Treaties of Indian Springs with the Creek Indians. The first treaty was signed January 8, 1821. In it, the Lower Creek ceded land to the state of Georgia in return for cash payments totaling $200,000 over a period of 14 years. The state of Georgia was to receive payment from the Federal Government, to satisfy claims of citizens of Georgia against the Creek for seizure or destruction of property prior to the 1802 act of Congress that regulated relations with Indian tribes.
The leading signatory for the Lower Creek was the chief William McIntosh. The son of a Creek woman of the prominent Wind Clan and a Loyalist Scots officer, he supported the 'civilizing mission' of the U.S. Indian Agent Benjamin Hawkins. He led the Lower Creek Towns in the Creek War of 1813-14, against the traditionalist Red Stick faction of the Upper Creek, and the First Seminole War.
He acquired slaves and developed a medium-sized cotton plantation on the Chattahoochee at Lockhau Talofau (Acorn Bluff) in present-day Carroll County. For his role in signing the First Treaty of Indian Springs, McIntosh received 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of land at Indian Springs. There he built a second plantation and a hotel to draw tourists to the local hot springs, then a popular destination.
The second treaty was signed at the Indian Springs Hotel on February 12, 1825 and ratified March 7, 1825. It was negotiated by McIntosh and his first cousin, Georgia Governor George Troup. Under this treaty the Lower Creek surrendered all of their lands east of the Chattahoochee, including the sacred Ocmulgee Old Fields, and accepted relocation west of the Mississippi River to an equivalent parcel of land along the Arkansas River. In compensation for the move to unimproved land, and to aid in obtaining supplies, the Creek nation would receive $200,000 paid in decreasing installments over a period of years. A controversial article provided additional payments to McIntosh for the lands granted to him in 1821.[1]
The treaty was popular with Georgians, who re-elected Troupe in the state's first popular election in 1825. It was signed by only six chiefs, and the Creek National Council denounced it, ordering the execution of McIntosh and the other Muscogee signatories, as it was a capital crime to alienate tribal land. On April 29, the Upper Creek chief Menawa took 200 warriors to attack McIntosh at his plantation at Lokchau Talofau. They killed him and another signatory, and set fire to the house.
The second Treaty of Indian Springs was ratified by the U.S. Congress by one vote, but a delegation from the Creek National Council, led by Chief Opothleyahola, traveled to Washington with a petition to John Quincy Adams to have it revoked. They negotiated the 1826 Treaty of Washington, in which the Muscogee surrendered most of the lands sought by Georgia under more generous terms, retaining a small piece of land on the Georgia-Alabama border and the Ocmulgee Old Fields. They were not required to move west.
Troup refused to recognize the new treaty, and ordered the Creek lands surveyed for a land lottery. He began forcibly evicting the Lower Creek. Adams threatened federal intervention, but backed down after Troup mobilized Georgia militia.
The area around the spring is protected as Indian Springs State Park between Jackson and Flovilla in Butts County, Georgia.[5][6]

April 29, 1861: The Maryland Legislature votes to remain in the Union.[9]
April 29, 1863: The return of daylight revealed the entire fleet anchored near the
encampment. The divisions of Carr and Osterhaus and Hovey embarked on board the transports and gunboats, landing at Bruinsburg, about 12 miles below, about noon. Here three days' rations of hard bread, sugar, coffee and salt, were issued as quickly as they could be landed from the vessels, and at 4 o'clock P. M. the column was en route for the rear of Grand Gulf. About 9 o'clock the column, having reached the highlands of Mississippi, were halted for supper. An hour later, it was again in motion. The divisions of Carr and Osterhaus were in advance, followed closely by that of Hovey. Not knowing at what point to expect the enemy, the advance moved forward cautiously and slowly. Every soldier has cause to remember that this feeling for the enemy in the dark is by far the most laborious and fatiguing duty that can be imposed on an army. It is a movement that requires constant readiness and cautious dealing, while the drowsy powers are busy in their efforts to weigh down the eyelids during the intervals of its many halts. Occasional shots far in advance will create murmurs among the massed hosts in the rear
like that of a dreamer disturbed by familiar sounds in his slumbers. By daylight the skirmishing in front had become quite brisk, announcing the presence of the enemy in force. Halting at the foot of Thompson's Hill, the troops were rapidly preparing their breakfast. The General, riding along the line, put a sudden stop to these operations by orders to fall in immediately. Cannon were booming on the hill, the divisions of Osterhaus and Carr being already partially engaged. The column moved rapidly up the hill, and were immediately formed in two lines of battle on the right of Magnolia Church, the first brigade, under command of Gen. McGinnis, in advance. Although within rifle range of the enemy's position; the thick foliage and dense undergrowth completely hid his lines. The country was exceedingly broken, there being a continuous succession of knobs and precipitate hillsides, while almost impenetrable canebrakes choked up the deep, narrow ravine. An effort to turn the enemy's right resting on Bayou Pierre had failed,
and by means of posting small bodies of men on the knobs he was enabled to develop a long line to the left. From these knobs then he must be driven. Small parties of skirmishers were now sent out to discover his position and practicable routes leading to it on our right, while our left held the enemy in check, preventing any effort that might be made to assail and turn it. By this means the several knobs were successfully charged, and the enemy's left made to retire. The enemy stubbornly resisted every advance, and would abandon his position only when forced to. To the regiment or brigade nearest the most practicable route would be assigned the duty of charging the enemy from his position. During the day there was considerable strife among field and staff officers as to which regiments or brigades should have the honor of assailing the enemy's positions when more than were required were at hand. An amusing incident of this nature occurred about 8 o'clock A. M. The line in struggling forward through a canebrake had become much confused and broken up, the men of the 28th and 24th Iowa regiments becoming mingled. Lieut. Col. Wilds, presuming Col. Byam to be at the center of the regiment and regulating the line there, mistook the colors of the 28th Iowa for our own and followed them with the four right companies. But it was afterwards ascertained that Col. Byam had left the field, having become sick and faint, and much to his own injury had failed to have the fact reported to Col. Wild, upon whom the command now devolved. Major Wright on the left, with the colors and the six remaining companies, bore to the left in order to pass around the canebrake, thus dividing the regiment. A similar accident happened to the 34th Indiana, of the first brigade. The six companies under Major Wright and five companies of the 34th Indiana arrived first in an open space beyond the canebrakes.
Here General Hovey ordered Col. Cameron of the 34th Indiana to charge a battery which the enemy had planted on the crest of the hill. Col. Cameron remarked that there were but five companies present, but that he would charge it if the General so ordered.
Col. Slack, commanding our brigade, proposed uniting the two parts of regiments. To this the General objected, desiring that our regiment should do it. Col. Slack then eagerly responded: "Then let the 24th Iowa go in. Six companies can do it. The Hawkeyes will do it." But the General refused, and the remaining five companies of the 34th arriving soon after, the regiment was ordered to advance to the charge. About this same time two regiments of Carr's division, the 8th and 18th Indiana, charged the same point from another direction, the three regiments carrying the point, and each claiming the honor of the victory. The battle continued in this way until nearly nightfall, no regiment on either side being exposed to fire at any one time very long, owing to the broken nature of the ground. At intervals a deep, sudden roll of musketry and artillery, followed soon after by a shout of triumph, announced the capture of some advanced position by our forces. Then a lull, during which the enemy took a new position, while our artillery and infantry were advanced. One point after another was gained in this way on the right, until the enemy began to entertain fears of being cut off from the Port Gibson road. The entire right of this line had been forced back until it was nearly at right angles with the line on the left.
The retreat soon after began in good earnest. The victory was won. Several hundred prisoners, part of his train and much of his artillery fell into our hands. The primary object of the battle was accomplished. Grand Gulf was evacuated. The whole loss in the 24th Iowa was but one killed and seven wounded. It was a hard battle, but bloody only at intervals. The difficulties of approaching the enemy's several positions were almost insurmountable. The field upon which the battle was fought is exceedingly picturesque and beautiful. The many knobs are crowned with the most beautiful of all trees, the magnolia. Their rich, polished green leaves glisten brightly in the sunshine, as if always bathed in dew, while their large, fine white flowers load the air with sweet fragrance.
This battle is memorable as the first in that brilliant series of conflicts resulting in the capture of Vicksburg. As it was the first battle in which most of the troops enlisted in '62 had participated, the Generals, whose reputation rested upon their success, preferred that the veteran troops of '61 should lead the charges, supported by the less experienced in battle; a distinction, however, that was never repeated. The courage displayed by them on this day, whenever opportunity offered, convinced them that this distinction would hereafter be wholly unnecessary. It is not necessary to criticize the conduct of Col. Byam in this engagement. It is, perhaps, fair to presume that what he said of himself was true. He was sick and faint, or, as the boys ould have it, sun-struck at 8 o'clock in the morning, reporting at the hospital, two miles away, for medical assistance. As for the rest, both officers and men conducted themselves with the customary valor of Iowa's sons, receiving their just meed of praise in their brigade commander's report of the engagement. Wearied almost to exhaustion by the day's labors, and suffering for
want of sleep, the men lay down on their arms, in support of a battery planted on a hill above us. It not being certain that the enemy had gone, and fearing, too, lest he might be re-enforced during the night, everything was in momentary readiness for an attack. All around was silent until midnight, when the pickets in front were falsely alarmed by some means, and discharged their pieces. A moment later and the line was in complete readiness to repel the advance of the enemy, should he come. But the alarm proving to be a false one, we lay down again, and rested without any further disturbance until daybreak. Learning soon afterwards that the enemy had evacuated Grand Gulf, and were flying towards Vicksburg, we took up our line of march for Port Gibson, about four miles distant, where we arrived about noon, and encamped in the streets. The town is situated on Bayou Pierre. It is tastefully and regularly laid out, containing originally perhaps four thousand inhabitants. It had no defenses, and our visit was evidently a very unexpected, as well as unwelcome event. It had never been occupied by any troops of either army before, and had a neat, cleanly appearance. [10]

On April 29, 1865: Company B was detailed as an honor guard to escort General Sherman’s train on a flying trip to Wilmington. The regiment had not been paid for eight months, and Captain Rigby did not even have enough money to purchase a paper collar for his dress uniform. Borrowing the only one in the command from Sergeant Lyons and carefully splitting it in two, the Captain was able to make his toilet both going and coming. On the return trip the honor guard unceremoniously beat up a Confederate captain who insulted them.[14]

April 29, 1920:
The campaign for the formation of a consolidated district was the principal community activity in the ‘Buck
Creek Church during the spring of 1920. Grant and the younger members of the Brotherhood took every available opportunity to agitate for the proposal. They argued that consolidation was needed to relieve crowding in the Buck Creek school. While some of the other schools in the area were not yet crowded, it swas argued that they soon would be. Buck Creekers had come to believe in the inevitalility of their own community success story. As part of what Buck Creekers hoped would be the final push in the successful crusade for consolidation, Grant organized a series of “community life institutes” focusing on rural school consolidation to be held at several locations in Delaware County. The newlsy created Rural life Department of Upper Iowa University, a Methodist college in Fayette County about fifty miles northwest of Buck Creek, assisted in this venture. [17]

April 29, 1939: A group, organized by Esau, met with Rudolf Mentzel at the REM to discuss the potential of a sustained nuclear chain reaction. The group included the physicists Walther Bothe, Robert Döpel, Hans Geiger, Wolfgang Gentner (probably sent by Walther Bothe), Wilhelm Hanle, Gerhard Hoffmann, and Georg Joos; Peter Debye was invited, but he did not attend. After this, informal work began at the Georg-August University of Göttingen by Joos, Hanle, and their colleague Reinhold Mannkopff; the group of physicists was known informally as the first Uranverein (Uranium Club) and formally as Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Kernphysik. The group’s work was discontinued in August 1939, when the three were called to military training.[7][8][9][10][20]
April 29, 1942: The Jews of the Netherlands are ordered to wear the yellow badge.[21]
April 29, 1944: Kistarcsa, Hungary, was the site of the first deportation of Jews from Hungary to Birkenau Concentration Camp.[22]
On April 29, 1945: Hitler married Eva in their bunker hideaway. Eva Braun met Hitler while working as an assistant to Hitler's official photographer. Braun spent her time with Hitler out of public view, entertaining herself by skiing and swimming. She had no discernible influence on Hitler's political career but provided a certain domesticity to the life of the dictator. Loyal to the end, she refused to leave the bunker even as the Russians closed in.
Only hours after they were united in marriage, both Hitler and Eva committed suicide. Warned by officers that the Russians were only about a day from overtaking the chancellery and urged to escape to Berchtesgarden, a small town in the Bavarian Alps where Hitler owned a home, the dictator instead chose to take his life. Both he and his wife swallowed cyanide capsules (which had been tested for their efficacy on his "beloved" dog and her pups). For good measure, he shot himself with his pistol.[23]

April 29, 1945: With the collapse of Nazi Germany in April 1945, Mussolini was captured by Italian partisans and on April 29 was executed by firing squad with his mistress, Clara Petacci, after a brief court-martial. Their bodies, brought to Milan, were hanged by the feet in a public square for all the world to see.[27]
