May 16, 1527: Florentines drove out the Medici for a second time and re-established a republic The recreation of the Republic led to the expulsion of the Jews. This event took place in the Jewish year 5300 (a year with Jewish mystical connotations), fueling messianic hopes helping to layer the ground for the rise of Solomon Molcho.[1]
May 16, 1568: May 16, 1568: Mary Queen of Scots voyage to England, 25 years old.[2] Mary Queen of Scots crossed the Solway Firth into England by fishing boat on May 16.[142] She landed at Workington in Cumberland in the north of England and stayed overnight at Workington Hall.[143][3][4]
May 16, 1573: Today Polish nobles elected Henry, as the first elected monarch of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. However, the Lithuanian nobles boycotted this election, and it was the Lithuanian ducal council who confirmed his election. Poland elected Henry, rather than Habsburg candidates, partly in order to be more agreeable to the Ottoman Empire (a traditional ally of France through the Franco-Ottoman alliance), with which a Polish-Ottoman alliance was also in effect.. He owed his election to Solomon Ashkenazi, a “Rabbi” who was an advisor to the Sultan. He was in effect the Sultan’s foreign minister. In an unusually blunt statement, Ashkenazi wrote Henry “I have rendered you majesty most important service in securing your election; I have effected all that was done here.” The last statement refers to his behind the scenes work at the Sultans Palace. See Volume 4 p 605 0f Graetz.[5]
1574: Charles IX was a puppet for his mother until he died in 1574. His brother, Henry III became King. He was stabbed and unable to continue, so Henry the King of Navarre became king and was crowned Henry IV.[6]
In May 1607, about 100 English colonists settled along the James River in Virginia to found Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. The settlers fared badly because of famine, disease, and Indian attacks, but were aided by 27-year-old English adventurer John Smith, who directed survival efforts and mapped the area. While exploring the Chickahominy River in December 1607, Smith and two colonists were captured by Powhatan warriors. At the time, the Powhatan confederacy consisted of around 30 Tidewater-area tribes led by Chief Wahunsonacock, known as Chief Powhatan to the English. Smith's companions were killed, but he was spared and released, (according to a 1624 account by Smith) because of the dramatic intercession of Pocahontas, Chief Powhatan's 13-year-old daughter. Her real name was Matoaka, and Pocahontas was a pet name that has been translated variously as "playful one" and "my favorite daughter."
In 1608, Smith became president of the Jamestown colony, but the settlement continued to suffer. An accidental fire destroyed much of the town, and hunger, disease, and Indian attacks continued. During this time, Pocahontas often came to Jamestown as an emissary of her father, sometimes bearing gifts of food to help the hard-pressed settlers. She befriended the settlers and became acquainted with English ways. In 1609, Smith was injured from a fire in his gunpowder bag and was forced to return to England.
After Smith's departure, relations with the Powhatan deteriorated and many settlers died from famine and disease in the winter of 1609-10. Jamestown was about to be abandoned by its inhabitants when Baron De La Warr (also known as Delaware) arrived in June 1610 with new supplies and rebuilt the settlement--the Delaware River and the colony of Delaware were later named after him. John Rolfe also arrived in Jamestown in 1610 and two years later cultivated the first tobacco there, introducing a successful source of livelihood that would have far-reaching importance for Virginia.
In the spring of 1613, English Captain Samuel Argall took Pocahontas hostage, hoping to use her to negotiate a permanent peace with her father. Brought to Jamestown, she was put under the custody of Sir Thomas Gates, the marshal of Virginia. Gates treated her as a guest rather than a prisoner and encouraged her to learn English customs. She converted to Christianity and was baptized Lady Rebecca. Powhatan eventually agreed to the terms for her release, but by then she had fallen in love with John Rolfe, who was about 10 years her senior. On April 5, 1614, Pocahontas and John Rolfe married with the blessing of Chief Powhatan and the governor of Virginia.
Their marriage brought a peace between the English colonists and the Powhatans, and in 1615 Pocahontas gave birth to their first child, Thomas. In 1616, the couple sailed to England. The so-called Indian Princess proved popular with the English gentry, and she was presented at the court of King James I. In March 1617, Pocahontas and Rolfe prepared to sail back to Virginia. However, the day before they were to leave, Pocahontas died, probably of smallpox, and was buried at the parish church of St. George in Gravesend, England.
John Rolfe returned to Virginia and was killed in an Indian massacre in 1622. After an education in England, their son Thomas Rolfe returned to Virginia and became a prominent citizen. John Smith returned to the New World in 1614 to explore the New England coast. On another voyage of exploration in 1614, he was captured by pirates but escaped after three months of captivity. He then returned to England, where he died in 1631.[7]
May 1611
They then gave sureties to a large amount for their reappearance before the Council in May, 1611 and promised to live together in peace, love and amitie, and to assist the commissioners to quell disturbances.[8]
May 16, 1611: Birthdate of Pope Innocent XI. During his papacy, “Innocent showed a degree of sensitivity in his dealings with the Jews within the Italian States. He compelled the city of Venice to release the Jewish prisoners taken by Francesco Morisini in 1685. He also discouraged compulsory baptisms which accordingly became less frequent under his pontificate; but he could not abolish the old practice altogether. More controversially in 1682 he issued an edict by which all the money-lending activities carried out by the Roman Jews were to cease. However ultimately convinced that such a measure would cause much misery in destroying livelihoods, the enforcement of the edict was twice delayed.”[9]

Pocahontas
1612
Pocahontas’s real name was Matoaka (Matowaka)[11]. The sole Algonkian root from which the name is derived is Metaw, “to play,” or “to amuse oneself.”
She was decoyed aboard an English ship in the Potomac and taken to Jamestown in 1612 where the English and Powqhatan met to agree on her ransom While among the whites she fell in love with John Rolfe, “an honest gentleman and of good behaviour.” In April 1613, they were married. Pocahontas became a Christian and was given the name “Lady Rebecca.” The marriage was a great advantage for the struggling colonists; Powhatan kept peace with them until death.[12]
1612: The Hamburg Senate decides to officially allow Jews to live in the city on the condition there is no public worship.[13]
May 1637: From 1635-1637 there is a dance of intimidation that takes place in New England. The English settelers were convinced of their superiority and the rightness of their cause. They convinced themselves that the Pequots were hostile to them.In May of 1637 the Puritan leaders decided they must take action.The English join with the Mohicans and Naragansits to form an attack on the Pequots. After the Mystic Massacre 1500 Pequots were killed or sold into slavery. Many Pequots are sold to other English Colonies like Burmuda or the Carribean Islands. That way they can never come back cause problems for the British again.The treaty of Hartford officially ended the Pequot War.[14]
May 1640: The earls of Northumberland and Strafford together attempted to reach a compromise whereby the king would agree to forfeit ship money in exchange for £650,000 (although the coming war was estimated at around £1 million).[105] Nevertheless, this alone was insufficient to produce consensus in the Commons.[106] The Parliamentarians' calls for further reforms were ignored by Charles, who still maintained the support of the House of Lords. Despite the protests of Northumberland, the "Short Parliament" (as it came to be known) was dissolved in May 1640, less than a month after it assembled.[107]

In May 1641, Charles assented to an unprecedented act, which forbade the dissolution of the English Parliament without Parliament's consent.[131] Ship money, fines in destraint of knighthood and excise without parliamentary consent were declared unlawful, and the Courts of Star Chamber and High Commission were abolished.[132] All remaining forms of taxation were legalised and regulated by the Tonnage and Poundage Act.[133][16]
May 16, 1648: During the great Cossack uprising which brought death and destruction to hundreds of thousands of Jews, Bohdan Khmelnytsky's forces overwhelmed and defeated Commonwealth forces under the command of Stefan Potocki at the Battle of Zhovti Vody.[17]
May 1652: Scattered Royalist strongholds held out until the capitulation of Dunettar Castle in May, 1652. This was the end of the English Civil wars. The Severne, or Serven, is a river flowing though Worcester. Dupuy and Dupuy write: The battles of Preston and Sheriffmuir: While John Erskine, Earl of Mar, fought an inclusive battle at Sheriffmuir with loyal troops under Archibald Campbell, Duke of Argyll, other regular troops recaptured the town of Preston from a Jacobite garrison under James Radcliffe, Earl of Derwentwater. [18]
May 1664: Jews of Lvov ghetto organize self-defense against impending assault by students of Jesuit seminary and Cathedral school. The militia sent by the officials to restore order, instead joined the attackers. About 100 Jews killed. [19]
May 1665: The Great Plague of London begins, with 43 people dying of plague by May.[20]
Great Plague of London
1665 – 1666
357Px-Bill Of Mortality
The Great Plague (1665-1666) was a massive outbreak of disease in England that killed 75,000 to 100,000 people, up to a fifth of London’s population. The disease was historically identified as bubonic plague, an infection by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, transmitted through fleas. The 1665-1666 epidemic was on a far smaller scale than the earlier “Black Death” pandemic, a virulent outbreak of disease in Europe between 1347 and 1353. The Bubonic Plague was only remembered afterwards as the “great” plague because it was one of the last widespread outbreaks in England. Although the disease causing the epidemic has historically been identified as bubonic plague and its variants, no direct evidence of plague has ever been uncovered. Some modern scholars suggest that the symptoms and incubation period indicate that the causal agent may have been a disease similar to a viral hemorrhagic fever. Pictured above is a list of mortalities from the time of the plague.[21]
May 16, 1730: : John Vance was born on 12-Sep-1753 in Bucks, Pa. The Son of Samuel Vance Jr. born December 10, 1708, and Agnes "Penquite" Vance May 16, 1730.[22]
May 16, 1754
On the 16th the column met two tradersw, who seaid they were fleeing for fear of the French, parties of whom had been seen near Gist’s. These traders told Washington that they believed it to be impossible to clear a road over which wagons or artillery pieces could be taken to the moth of Redstone Creek.
May 16, 1775
Wm Crawford, one of the Gent in the Com of the Peace, took the Usual Oths to his Jajesties Person and Govern, Sub the Ab Oath and test, and then took the Oath of a Justice of the Peace, and of a Justice of the County Court in Chancery, and of a justice of Oyer and Terminer.
Pres, Wm. Crawford

…Bell vs Finn. James Crawford Spbd….[23]
May 16, William Crawford was placed on a committee of defense of inhabitance against the aggressions of Great Britain.
William Crawford offered his services to Virginia, raised a regiment, but Congress determined to receive only six regiments into pay, refused his regiment.
Nicholas Cresswell visits the area.
Captain Crawford was promoted to major.[24]
When the news of the battle of Lexington came to the settlers on the upper Ohio, the patriots at once arranged for public meetings. The Pennsylvania partisans met at Hanna’s Town and the Viginia partisans at Pittsburg. The latter meeting took place on May 16, 1775, the day of the opening of the Virginia court. Resolutions were passed approving the conduct of Massachusetts in “resisting the invaders of American Rights and Privileges to the utmost extreme.” A committee of correspondence of twenty-eight members was appointed with Croghan as chairman. John Campbell, Edward Ward, Dorsey Pentecost, Thomas Smallman, and William Crawford were among his associates.[25] \
May 16, 1775: On April 19, 1775, Lexington and Concord became noted names of history. The astounding news
from those villages had scarcely reached the Monongahela valley,
when public meetings were held on the same day, to wit, May 16,
1775, both at Hanna's Town and Pittsburgh. At Hanna's Town
the Pennsylvania adherents assembled ; at Pittsburgh, the Virginia
partisans. Each meeting passed a set of resolutions with equally
forcible approval of the armed resistance to the invasion of Ameri-
can rights by the English government, and equally urging united
action by force of arms successfully to sustain that resistance. We may
call these sets of resolutions, adopted on the same day by the separate
adherents of two colonial jurisdictions, the Monongahela Declaration
of Independence. They antedate more than a year the Declaration
of Independence adopted and read to the people at Philadelphia on
July 4, 1776, and they antedate the celebrated Mecklenburg Reso-
lutions of North Carolina by four days. All honor to the Mononga-
hela valley !
A portion of the resolutions of the Westmoreland county meeting is
worthy of being copied :
"Resolved, unanimously, That there is no reason to doubt but the
same system of tyranny and oppression [referring to the oppressive
measures of the British government] will (should it meet with success
in Massachusetts Bay) be extended to other parts of America ; it is
therefore the indispensable duty of every American, of every man who
has any public virtue or love for his country, or any bowells for pos-
terity, by every means which God has put in his power, to resist and
oppose the execution of it ; that for us we will be ready to oppose it
with our lives and fortunes. ' ' [26]
May 16, 1776: General Mifflin was well suited for this work. He was born in
Philadelphia in tlie year 1744, and although of Quaker parentage he
early displayed all the great qualifications of the soldier. When Gen-
eral Washington took command of the army, Mifflin was placed on his
staff as colonel and quartermaster-general. He was made a brigadier-
general, May 16, 1776, and October i of the same year Congress re-
quested him to resume the office of quartermaster-general. Soon after
the battle of Princeton he received tlie commission of major-general.
He was a man of pleasing manners, singularly attractive presence, and
in speech he was truly eloquent.[27]
At a session on May 17, 1775, viewers were appointed, among whom were Abraham and William Teagarden at the mouth of Ten Mile Creek, and Rezin Virgin, near Washington, to view a road
"from the foot of Laurel Hill by Wm. Teagarden's Ferry (Millsboro), to the Mouth of Wheeling."[28]
May 16, 1782: It is noted, in looking over the will of Major William Harrison, nephew of Charles Harrison, dated May 16, 1782; proven March 1, 1784: "It is my further will that the four thousand acres of land located in my name on Licking Creek, in the State of Virginia, be divided and distributed in manner, viz: First, I do give and bequeath unto my much beloved wife, Sarah, five hundred acres during her natural life, at the expiration of which, I desire they be sold and the money equally divided amongst my children or heirs of their body lawfully begotten." (Union-town, Pennsylvania, Court House, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, Orphans Court, Book 1, Page 6, transferred to Book, Page 3.) This will says further: 500 acres to my brother, Benjamin Harrison and the remaining three thousand be divided amongst his children. This land, described as in Virginia, eventually turned out to be located in Kentucky. [29]
May 16, 1782
Major William Harrison’s will was dated May 16, 1782; proven March 1, 1784; and recorded in Uniontown, Fayette County, Pa. [30]
May 16, 1782: Following James Connell to the Youghiogheny, came his half— brother William and half-sister Rachel, who married Reason Began; an older brother Zachariah, who later founded Connellsville, and a younger brother Thomas. James Connell’s name is third in a list of twenty-four names on Lt. John Hickston’s Roll of Virginia Soldiers of 1776.. He supposedly died during the early part of the Revolutionary period, for later record of him seems to be lacking. It is quite likely that Ann was a widow prior to January 24, 1777, at which time her father acquired a deed from Ezekial Hickman, etal (and others), party of the one part, for three hundred acres, more or less, containing the home where Ann Connell and her family were living. Below the signature of William Crawford, party of the other part, was also the signature of Ann Connell and the document was witnessed by Providence Mounts, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Moore, all of that date of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The deed recorded February 18, 1784. It became part of Colonel William Crawford’s estate that was left to Ann in his will, signed on May 16, 1782, before the tragic Sandusky Expedition. Will Book 1, page 9, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.[31]

[11] Joseph CABELL, Jr.
•Born: January 6, 1762, Amherst County, Virginia, USA
•Marriage (1): Pocahontas Rebecca BOLLING in 1783 in Bollingbrook House, Petersburg, Virginia, USA
•Marriage (2): Anne E. BOLLING
•Died: August 31, 1831, Henderson Co., KY aged 69
User ID: P00051729.
General Notes:
Joseph Cabell, Jr., was born January 6, 1762; was first taught by tutors; was at Hampden Sidney in 1778 and 1779; and at William and Mary College from May 4, 1779, to 1781. Although his name does not appear in Mr. Grigsby's list, he was certainly a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. His son, Gen. Benjamin Cabell, said that the college boys formed a company, of which Joseph, Jr., was a member, and that this company was attached to the regiment of Col. Joseph Cabell, the elder, at Yorktown.
Joseph Cabell, of Repton, devoted himself to his farm and domestic pursuits with success; but he finally determined to follow his sisters to Kentucky, -- "the then promised land," -- and sold "Repton" to Gov. William H. Cabell, who changed the name to "Montevideo."
He emigrated with his family to Kentucky in 1811; settled in Henderson County, and died there on August 31, 1831. His widow died at "The Retreat," in Buckingham, while on a visit to Virginia, on January 26, 1834.
Col. Robert Bolling, of "Chellowe" (the father of Col. Joseph Cabell, Jr.'s first wife), was born August 17, 1738. "He was educated at Wakefield, in England, by the celebrated Dr. Clarke. He was learned in many languages, and wrote the 'Memoirs of the Bolling Family' in the French tongue, a translation of which, by John Robertson, was edited and printed by T. H. Wynne, Richmond, 1869." He was "a lover of wisdom and esteemed it more precious than rubies." He was high sheriff of Buckingham County in 1767, and is said to have been a member of the House of Burgesses. He was a member of the Convention of July 1775, and died at Williamsburg while in attendance on that body. He was the son of Maj. Jobn Bolling, born in 1700; county lieutenant of Chesterfield; justice of the peace; and "for thirty years a member of the House of Burgesses." Between 1740 and 1751, he entered for over 20,000 acres of land in the present counties of Amherst, Buckingham, Appomattox, and Campbell for himself and sons, together with two small entries for Maj. Richard Kennon and Mr. Thomas Edwards. Bolling's Creek, south of Lynchburg, in Amherst County, was named for him. He married, August 1, 1728, Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. Archibald Blair (of the House of Burgesses), and niece of Commissary James Blair, D. D., founder of William and Mary College. He died September 6, 1757. He was the son of Col. John Bolling, of "Cobbs" (born 1676), "who engaged in commerce, and conducted an extensive and gainful trade with his countrymen, and a yet larger one with the Indians (equally his countrymen)." He was a member of the House of Burgesses; married, in 1697, Mary, daughter of Richard Kennon, of "Conjuror's Neck" (also a member of the House of Burgesses), and died in 1729. He was son of Col. Robert Bolling (1646-1709), the emigrant, by his wife, Jane Rolfe, daughter of Thomas Rolfe, son of John Rolfe, by his wife, generally incorrectly called "Pocahontas," which was not her name; her Indian name was "Matoaka," and her baptismal name was "Rebecca." She was a daughter of "Wahunsenacawh," the chief of the Powhatan tribe of Indians, commonly called "King Powhatan" by the English.
"Matoaka" was "the first fruit of the English church among the Virginians," and as such occupies a position of unique attraction in our earliest annals. Her husband, John Rolfe, was one of the founders of Virginia. He wrote one of the most accurate accounts of the enterprise, and devoted his life to the establishment of the colony.
Archibald Bolling, of "Red Oak," and of "The Retreat," the father of the second wife of Col. Joseph Cabell, Jr., is said, in the work just referred to, to have been born March 20, 1750. But on May 9, 1743, Maj. John Bolling entered for his son Archibald 600 acres of land on Possum Creek of the Fluvanna. (James) River. So the major must have had another son by this name, who died young, or the foregoing date of birth is wrong, as although entries were made in the names of infants, we cannot suppose the major to have taken time so vehemently by the forelock as to make the entry seven years before the child was born.
Archibald Bolling died about 1829. He was a brother of Col. Robert Bolling, of "Chellowe," aforesaid, and his ancestry was the same. He was married four times. The mother of Mrs. Anne Everard Duval Cabell was his second wife, Jane Randolph, the daughter of Richard Randolph, of Curls (member of the House of Burgesses), and his wife, Anne Meade. Which Richard was an uncle of John Randolph of Roanoke, and a son of Col. Richard Randolph, of "Curles" (1690-1748), member of the House of Burgesses, and treasurer of Virginia, who married Jane Bolling (1703-1766), the daughter of Col. John Bolling, of Cobbs (1676-1729), aforesaid.
Anne Meade was the daughter of David Meade by his wife, Susanna Everard, the daughter of Sir Richard Everard, governor of North Carolina, by his wife, Susanna Kidder, daughter of Rt. Rev. Richard Kidder, D. D., bishop of Bath and Wells, England.
Sir Richard Everard was the son of Sir Hugh Everard, the son of Sir Richard Everard, the son of Sir Richard Everard (created a baronet by Charles I in January 1629) by his wife, Joan Barrington, daughter of Sir Francis Barrington and his wife, Joan Cromwell, aunt of the Protector, Oliver Cromwell, and daughter of Sir Henry Cromwell, the son of Sir Richard Williams (eldest son of Morgan Williams by his wife, Catherine Cromwell, sister of Thomas Cromwell, the great Earl of Essex), who assumed at the desire of Henry VIII the surname of his uncle, Cromwell, and, through the influence of that once powerful relative himself and his family, obtained great wealth and station. Joseph and Pocahontas Rebecca Bolling Cabell had issue:
78. i. Sophronisba E. 79. ii. Sarah B. iii. Robert Bolling (1st), b. in 1787; M. D.; m. in 1808, Eliza Walthall, of Chesterfield County, Va.; d. October 7, 1808, s. p. 80. iv. Joseph M. v.

Nicholas, d. infant. 83. x. Mary P. R.
Joseph and his (2d wife) Anne Everard Bolling (Duval) Cabell had issue:
84. xi. Jane Randolph. 85. xii. John Breckinridge. 86. xiii. Elizabeth R. 87. xiv. Robert B. (2d). 88. xv. George Washington. xvi. Joseph H., b. November 23, 1815; d. May 15, 1816. xvii. William Nicholas, b. November 1, 1817; d. September 10, 1820.

And several others who died in early infancy without names. "There are said to have been by both wives 39 children in all."
Joseph married Pocahontas Rebecca BOLLING, daughter of Robert BOLLING and Susan WATSON, in 1783 in Bollingbrook House, Petersburg, Virginia, USA. (Pocahontas Rebecca BOLLING was born in 1764 in Chellowe, VA and died in 1803 in Chellowe, VA.)
Joseph next married Anne E. BOLLING.

[32] Found in Book No. 3, page 116, in the office of the Clerk of Courts, Harrison County, West Virginia. Owing to the transactions to recover the fifteen hundred acres of land on the Little Kanawha River, three deeds are hereby represented, covering three different dates. Col. Crawford’s assignment called for 8,000 acres and one— fourth would be 2,000 acres, constituting the number of acres due him for his services in surveying the 8,000acres. Yet, only 1,500 acres are accounted for and recovered. The remaining 500 acres are yet to be recovered or accounted for.
Alexander Henderson is listed in the deed books in Harrison County, West Virginia, as a grantor from 1811 until 1814, selling land in the Little Kanawha area.
Lieut. John Crawford’s remaining inheritance of his father’s estate, on the whole, was the bounty lands due his father for his father’s services in the American Revolutionary War. No. 851, and found recorded in the Kentucky L.and Office at Frankfort, Ky. William Crawford, Colonel, 6666 2/3 acres, Va. C.ont. Line. ‘John Crawford, heir at Law’ surveyed June 17, 1783.

[34] The family of John and Frances (Bradford) Crawford, lived at ‘Crawford’s Delight’ along the banks of the beautiful Youghiogheny River. How wonderful it would be, if we knew more in detailed explanation, of this couple and their two little sons. Moses being the eldest, would be five years old in 1770. At an early age, which may have been about this time, Moses met with an accident. He was left with a handicap the rest of his life. He was unable to participate in the military affairs, as his father and grandfather. Seemingly, his grandfather, Col. WilliamCrawford, made an effort to prepare for him, a future with an education and sufficiaent provisions to offset this handicap.
From Tymochtee to the River Clyde and Col. William Crawford, page 66.
[35] Notice that William makes special mention of John’s children LAWFULLY BEGOTTEN, indicating perhaps there are some not lawfully begotten! Ann Connell is not mentioned as a daughter but the legacies definitely indicate that she was. (Ancestors of Forrest Roger Garnett, Page 454.35)
[36] His earthly possessions he put in order as he made his last will and testament on May 16, 1782, bearing out that he had certain apprehensions of no return.
The will of William Crawford, as follows: Proved on September 10th, of the same year. Recorded December 29th, 1819 and may be be found on record in the dockets of the Register of Wills and Orphan’s Court, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. (From River Clyde to Tymochtee and Col.

[51] Red River Campaign * POLITICS AND COTTON IN THE CIVIL WAR BY LUDWELL H. JOHNSON The Johns Hopkins Press * BALTIMORE
[52] Their line of battle extended east and west of the village of Mansura. They (The confederates) had thirty odd pieces of artillery.
[53] At Mansura, 16 May, the Federals had to fight their way through a Confederate position. Meanwhile, Liddell’s cavalry was harrying Porter from the north bank of the river.

“The U.S. Civil War Out West” The History Channel.
[54] Advancing across the Avoyelle Prairie five miles south of Marksville, Banks found the Confederate’s disposed in force across his path, much as they had been at Sabine Cross roads except that here the terrain was open and gave him a sobering view of what he faced. There line of battle extended east and west of the village of Mansura. They had thirty odd pieces of artillery, more than half of them had been his own up to the time of the previous confrontation just short of Mansfield which this one most uncomfortably resembled. Unlimbered and ready to take him under fire as soon as he ventured within range. Their numbers in infantry and cavalry were hard to estimate, masked as their center was by the town, but Bank’s did not decline the challenge. He shook out his skirmishers, put his own guns in position as many of the remaining seventy in any case as he could find room for on the three mile width of prairie. Formed as infantry for attack with cavalry posted neatly on both flanks and then when forward, blue flags rippling in the breeze.
The result as the troops began to move and the guns began to growl was enough to make observers in both armies each of which had a full view of the other catch their breath in admiration. Advancing across the lush and level prairie, “smooth as a billiard table” as Taylor was to say of it in his report. “The Union host was resplendent in steel and brass”, according to one of its members, a Conneticut infantryman who afterward tried his hand at a word sketch of the scene including, “Miles of lines and columns. The cavalry gliding over the ground in the distance with the delicate nimble lightness enumerable twinkling feet. A few batteries enveloped in smoke and incessantly hundering. Others dashing swiftly to salient positions. Division and Corp commanders with their staff officers clustering about them, watching through their glasse s the hostile army. Couriors riding swiftly from wing to wing. Everywhere the beautiful silken flags and the scene ever changing involutions and evolutions of the vast host.”
It was in short that seldom encountered thing, picture book war. Though the armies remained at approximate confrontation for four hours the action was practically limited to artillery exchanges, since neither commander seemed willing to venture between point blank range of the others guns.
When at last Bank’s brought A.J. Smiths westerners forward for an attack on the rebel left, Taylor withdrew in that direction, south and west, and the federals resumed their march to the south and east through Mansura and on to Bayou de Glaize on whose banks they stopped for the night.
