July 4, 1189: Ancestor Henry II, King of England, passed away. Compared to those who followed him to the throne, Henry’s treatment of his Jewish subjects was comparatively benign. (The emphasis is on “comparatively.”) Henry levied two special taxes on the Jewish community designed to finance the next Crusade to the Holy Land. The tax of 1188 included 60,000 pounds on the Jews of London, one fourth the community’s wealth. All the Christians of England were required to cough up a mere 10,000 pounds. Much to the consternation of some Church leaders, Henry discouraged Jews from converting to Christianity. The wealth of dead Jews became the property of the crown. These Jewish estates could be of such value that when Aaron of Lincoln passed away, “Henry found it necessary to set up a special branch of his Exchequer, named the Scaccarium Aaronis, with no function other than processing his immense estate.”[1][1]
July 4, 1189: Richard the Lionheart becomes King of England following the death of his father. His coronation would not take place until September at which time a delegation of Jews bringing gifts for the monarch would be denied access and be beaten by English officials. Richard did take action to protect his Jewish subjects when they were threatened. Unfortunately, Richard spent only the equivalent of one year of his ten year reign in England. During his absence, the Jews would suffer at the hands of English leaders including Richard’s brother and successor Prince, and later King, John [2][2]
July 4, 1197: A Battle is about to begin that will be named fro the Horns of Hatim. The two rocky peaks that rise over the brush covered slopes behind Tiberius on the Sea of Galilee. It will also become known as the turning point in the Crusades and in the lives and fates of a mysterious military order known as the Knights Templar. On that day some 80 Templar knights led by their Grand master Gerard merge with the rest of the Crusader army, a consortium of several different Christian factions. Estimated to be around twenty thousand in number they converge on a camp named Sephoria. Once again they will confront Saladin the great Muslim leader who has laid siege to Tiberias, a days march away. His army is only slightly larger, but he has more knights, the Christian soldiers have mostly foot soldiers. The Christian leaders know they are at a disadvantage.
The Crusaders had a decision to make. Do they move their forces out to meet Saladin’s approaching army, or do they stay put and let the army come to them? The general consensus of the councel was that it was high summer, it was parched, and the safest thing to do was to stay in a very defensible position and let Saladin come to them.
But not everyone of them agrees including Gerard, who has risen to the rank of Templar Grand Master, just three years before. The grand master of the Templars would often do things contrary to what everybody else thought just to get his own way, and to stay in control. Gerard is said to have long standing grudges with some his Crusader allies, person predjudices that color his actions on this day. Because the idea of staying put had been suggested by one of his rivals he brow beat and bullied the entire assembly into deciding to march, not at night when it was cooler, but during the heat of the day.
The Crusader Army begins the grueling desert march toward Tiberius without water or wshelter. By evening, weak and disoriented, they decide to make camp. It is then that Saladins forces close in and surround them. In the attack that follows the Crusader army is quickly desimated. It is the worst single military disaster in the holy land. The surviving Christian knights are sold into slavery, As is customary the Templar Knights are all put to the sword. Gerard breaks the Templar vow never to be captured. He allows himself to be spared and ransomed.[3]
July 4, 1253: Mindaugas is crowned king of Lithuania, reportedly the first ruler to hold this title. There was a Jewish presence in Lithuania at this time, since small numbers of Jewish merchants probably began arriving in Lithuania during the 12th century. They were followed by others of their co-religionists who were fleeing persecution brought on by the Crusades and the Black Death. Large number of Jews would not begin arriving in Lithuania until the first decades of the 13th centuries when they were invited to settle there by Gediminas. [3][4]
July 4, 1348
1348: Pope Clement VI issued a Papal Bull protecting Jews during the Black Plague. “Clement VI reigned during the Black Death. This pandemic swept through Europe (as well as Asia and the Middle East) between 1347 and 1350. It is believed to have killed between a third and two thirds of Europe's population…Popular opinion blamed the Jews for the plague, and pogroms erupted throughout Europe. Clement issued two papal bulls in 1348 which condemned the violence and said those who blamed the plague on the Jews had been ‘seduced by that liar, the Devil.’ He urged clergy to take action to protect Jews, but the orders appeared to have little effect, and the destruction of whole Jewish communities continued until 1349.” These events are described in "A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century" by the Jewish historian Barbara Tuchman. [5]
July 4th, 1534 - Christian III is elected King of Denmark and Norway in the town of Rye. [6]
July 4, 1609: 1609: Bohemia is granted freedom of religion in the same year as that in which Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel also known as the Maharal, one of the most famous Jewish scholars and educators from Prague passed away. “Rabbi Loew published more than 50 religious and philosophical books and became the center of legends, as the mystical miracle worker who created the Golem. The Golem is an artificial man made of clay that was brought to life through magic and acted as a guardian over the Jews. The Maharal had positive relations with Rudolph II and was even invited to his castle. [7]
The name "Cutlip" appears in England as early as the seventeenth century; however, the preponderance of evidence — circumstantial in some cases — strongly suggests a German origin for most, if not all, branches of the Cutlip family. The German name Gottlieb can be used as either a given or family name, much like "Bruce" or "Lester" or "Clark" can be either first, middle, or last names in English-speaking countries. Gott is German for God. Lieb is German for love. Gottlieb, then, means "love of God." Another West Virginia family with German roots is named Crislip today; but was Christlieb back then.[1][8]
Gottlieb name meaning and History: German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from the personal name Gottlieb. As a German personal name this is for the most part a translation of Greek Theophilos (‘one who loves God’) that became very popular in the 17th and 18thcenturies with the rise of the Pietist movement. Among German Jews, it existed, independently from German Christians since the Middle ages.[9]

Princess Henrietta of England (Henrietta; June 16, 1644 (26 June n.s.) – June 30, 1670) was born a Princess of England and Scotland as the youngest daughter of King Charles I of England and his consort Henrietta Maria of France. Fleeing England with her governess at the age of three, she moved to the court of her first cousin Louis XIV of France, where she was known as Minette.[1] After she married Philippe of France, brother of King Louis XIV, known as Monsieur at court, she became known as Madame.[2] Very popular with the court in no small part due to her flirtatious nature, her marriage was marked by frequent tensions.[3] Henrietta was instrumental in negotiating the Secret Treaty of Dover prior to her unexpected death in June 1670. Jacobite claims to the throne of Great Britain following the death of Henry Benedict Stuart descend from her through her daughter Anne Marie, Queen of Sardinia.[10]
Henrietta was interred at the Royal Basilica of Saint Denis on July 4, another service was held on July 21. All chief public bodies including the Parliament, courts of Law, Assembly of the Clergy and the City Corporations were represented, as well as members of the nobility and general public. Queen Maria Theresa was present with the king of Poland, John II Casimir, and the English Ambassador, the Duke of Buckingham. French Princes of the blood were present as well as masses of the nobility.
"Last of all came the members of Monsieur and Madame's household, bearing torches in their hands. A mausoleum, surrounded with altars and silver urns, and adorned with a crowd of mourning allegorical statues, among which Youth, Poetry and Music were conspicuous, had been erected in the centre of the choir. There the coffin rested, covered with cloth of gold, edged with ermine, and embroidered with the arms of France and England in gold and silver. Everyone having taken their places hundreds of candles burst into flame giving a cloud of incense; and the Archbishop of Reims assisted by other bishops, began the mass, which was chanted by the King's musicians organized by Lully."[36][11]

July 4, 1754
The British army marches out of Fort Necessity dragging their wounded with them. They destroy what supplies they cannot carry and that would be of use to the French and their Indian allies. Around 10 a.m., Washington and Mackay start their men on the cart track back to Wills Creek (present day Cumberland Maryland). The French destroy any supplies that the British have left behind and are not portable and then burn the stockade to the ground. They then begin their march back to Fort Duquesne.[13]
July 4, 1754: Stewart’s Crossings is one of the historic spots of Fayette County, Pa. In 1753 William Stewart located there, about the same time that Christopher Gist built his cabin at Mount Braddock. Stewart chose a ford on the Yiogheny where the old Catawba Indian trail from the Iroquois country crossed that river. Erecting his cabin on the southwest bank of the stream, he lived on the site of the present village of New Haven. That autumn Maj. George Washington crossed at this place, bearing the famous message from Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia to the French officers on the upper Allegheny. The next year Washington, with his Virginia soldiers, did not advance as far as Stewart’s Crossings; but his French opponent Sieur de Jumonville, must have crossed at this spot when endeavoring to gain information of the English situation. After the surrender of Fort Necessity (July 4, 1754), Coulon de Villiers, the victor, retired to Gist’s place and ordered all the cabins of English settlers to be burned. William Stewart’s home shared the common fate, and he retreated to the Eastern settlements, leaving his name attached to the crossing of the Youghiogheny. Braddock’s Road led over this crossing; but that general himself forded the stream (1755) a mile or two below. In 1765 Col. William Crawford took possession of the place. Thither, the next year, he brought his family and established his permanent home. It is to his services that Hand here refers. On his death his son John fell heir to the Stewart Crossings estate, which in 1786 he sold to Edward Cook. The latter sold to Col. Isaac Meason, whose son built a store and in 1796 laid out the town of New Haven. The site of Stewart’s Crossings is now a busy one, leading to the populous city of Connellsville on the northeast bank of the stream. William Stewart was living in 1786, and testified to his early occupation of this site.—ED
July 4, 1776: Patrick Henry of Virginia declares in a speech, “Give me liberty or give me death.”[14] During a speech before the second Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry responds to the increasingly oppressive British rule over the American colonies by declaring, "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Following the signing of the American Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, Patrick Henry was appointed governor of Virginia by the Continental Congress. [15]
July 4, 1776: On July 4, 1776 the newly written Declaration of Independence was read to the Continental Congress in the State House in Philadelphia. [16]

Declaration of Indedpendence adopted at Philadelphia by the Continental Congress.[17][18]
The Hessians by Edward Lowell
• “He is at this Time, transporting large Armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the Works of Death, Desolation, and Tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and Persidy, fearcely parralleled in the most barbarous Ages and totally unworthy the head of civilized nations.”
• The Declaration of Independence, July 4th 1776.
When the Declaration of Independence was signed, about 2,500 Jews, out of a population of 2,500,000 Americans, lived in the former colonies. They had changed as America changed around them. The opening up of a new land, the unleashing of democratic forces for institution building, and new ideas about individual choice profoundly influenced the Jews as it didi all Americans. The Jews who lived through the tumultuous decades of revolution and nation building did so mindful fo their piecemeal acceptance and relative equality and ever mindful of the restrictions that had early on been placed on them. Just as Americans were liberating themselves from British rule and creating new governemental forms, so too were Jews beginning the process of building new communitites as they participated in building a new America.[19]

This is the only surviving fragment of the broadside of the Declaration of Independence printed by John Dunlap and sent on July 6, 1776, to George Washington by John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. General Washington had this Declaration read to his assembled troops on July 9 in New York, where they awaited the combined British fleet and army. Later that night, American troops destroyed a bronze-lead statue of Great Britain's King George III that stood at the foot of Broadway on the Bowling Green. The statue was later molded into bullets for the American Army. [20]
John Hancock, colonial Boston’s wealthiest merchant, who was the “milch cow” who funded the secret activities of the Sons of Liberty. Hancock , a Freemason[21], was the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence. Freemason Benjamin Franklin would also sign.[22] He later served as the the first elected governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Hancock’s elegant mansion stood on what is now the west lawn of the State house. Hancock wished to give his home to the state,. For use as a governor’s mansion, but he died begfore he could sign his will. Years later, his heirs offered to sell the old house to the state, but the price was considered too high. Much to the dismay of all Bostonians, the Hancock mansion was demolished in 1863.[23]

July 4, 1782: Dr. Knight escaped from Tutelu, the Indian having charge of him,
Thursday morning, June 13, 1782. See Knight's Narr.
Having wandered alone in the wilderness three weeks, Dr. Knight
safely arrived at Fort Pitt on the morning of July 4th, 1782, at 7 o'clock,
weak, fatigued, and in a sad plight. "This moment," wrote Gen. Irvine to
Gov. Moore, of Pennsylvania, " Dr. Knight arrived, the surgeon I sent with
the volunteers to Sandusky. He was several days in the hands of the In-
dians, but fortunately made his escape front his keeper, who was conduct-
ing him to another settlement to be burnt."[27]
July 4, 1782
The following extracts from American newspapers and a British periodical refer to Crawford’s campaign:
“It is reported, that a party of about 500 volunteers, who marched under the command of Colonel Crawford, from the neighborhood of Fort Pitt, against an Indian settlement called Sanduski, were attacked within nine miles of that place, and were obliged to retire. When the last accounts came from them they were at Muskingham, and it is said about thirty of the party are killed and wounded. Colonel Crawford is missing.[28]

Next day came to Stillwater, a small river, in a branch of which I got two small crawfish to eat. Next night I lay within five miles of Whelling, but had not slept a wink during this whole time, being rendered impossible by the mospuitoes, which it was my constant employment to brush away.[30]
On July 4, 1788, Franklin was too sick and weak to get out of bed, but the Independence Day parade in Philadelphia marched right under his window. And, as Franklin himself had directed, ‘the clergy of different Christian denominations, with the rabbi of the Jews, walked arm in arm. And when he was carried to his grave two years later, his casket was accompanied by all the clergymen of the city, every one of them, of every faith.”[31]

Summer, 1795
"The first white man known to have settled here in the present limits of Clark County, were David Lowry and Jonathan Donnel. (See Theopholis Mckinnon, 1802) Mr. Lowry came to Ohio from Pennsylvania in the spring of 1795, and immediately engaged at Cincinnati to serve for three months as assistant in carrying provisions for the western army, under Gen. Anthony Wayne. At the expiration of this service, he joined a surveying party under Israel Ludlow (partner to Mathias Denman in forming the town of Cincinnati). The object of this company was to lay off the Government lands of the Miami country into sections for entry and sale, the land office being located at Fort Washington, or the village of Cincinnati. It was late on Saturday evening, in the forepart of the summer of 1795, that the company came to a place on Mad River, near to what was afterward called the Broad Ford, and not far from the present village of Enon, where they remained till the following Monday. During the intervening time, Mr. Lowry and Jonathan Donnel who was one of the party, wandered about viewing the surrounding country.
They managed to cross to the opposite side of the river, where they became highly pleased with the rich alluvial soil, in which their feet sank over their shoes as they walked.
The majestic trees, which stood thick upon the ground, furnished a continuous shade, and they passed over the broad bottom land to the rising ground where Donnel's Creek breaks through the hills into the bottom lands of Mad River. They wandered along the margin of the hills extending east, where they beheld for the first time the beautiful springs of clear water, from which they afterward drank during so many years of their lives. They became so highly pleased with this delightful scenery in its wild and uncultivated state, that they both determined, if possible, to make it their future home. They resolved to say nothing to their companions of what they had discovered. The whole party set out on Monday morning, and, when their survey was completed, returned to Cincinnati. While at Cincinnati after their surveying excursion, Lowry and Donnel learned that a man by the name of Patten Shorts had purchased and entered all that beautiful section of country with which they were so highly delighted, and that Shorts was in want of a surveyor to aid him in fixing the boundaries of his land.
Mr. Lowry urged his friend Donnel to offer his services and take the "golden opportunity," as Mr. Lowry said to possess the favorite land they both so much coveted. Donnels entered upon the work with Shorts, and while thus engaged purchased for himself and Lowry the land they admired, and, in the fall of 1795, Donnel and Lowry established themselves on their lands, Lowry's choice being near the mouth of Donnel Creek, thus named for him by his friend Donnel. The home of Mr. Donnel was farther east, where a large spring gushes from the hillside, and runs across the rich and broad bottom-laud of Mad River.
The new settlers found the woods filled with bear, deer, wild turkeys and other wild game. After the erection of their houses with the aid of no other tools than an ax and an auger, they took up their residence in the great wilderness of Ohio, being the first known white citizens within the present limits of Clark County. There are doubtless some who will remember the comfort and contentment afforded to the occupants of these primitive houses, such as were erected by Lowry and Donnel; erected within a few days to last for a whole life time; how the door, made of a few split boards, often squeaked with a peculiar coarse noise as the latch-string was pulled, and the door swung open upon its rude wooden hinges.
These houses were quite dry and warm in winter, and their thick logs rendered them cool during the heat of summer. The ample fire-place and chimney afforded sufficient ventilation for health, and some of Ohio's brightest sons have gained the foundation of their greatness by study before their ample log fires. After Lowry and Donnel had thus prepared a shelter for themselves and families, they commenced the work of providing bear and deer meat for food during the winter. In the course of this winter, Lowry killed seventeen bears, and during the course of his life thought he had killed as many as a thousand deer.
The new settlers found themselves in the midst of the Shawnee Indians, of whom Tecumseh was the chief. Their camp fires were often built near the cabins of Lowry and Donnel, and they managed to live with them on terms of friendship, and they frequently exchanged with each other such articles as each had to spare. Lowry spent much of his time in hunting with them, and they would often spend several days and nights in the woods together; and when Mr. Lowry would sometimes get lost in the wilderness, they would convey him to his cabin again, and by their many acts of kindness toward him convinced him of the sincerity of their kindness and friendship. On one occasion, however, they took offense at him, on account of his superior skill while engaged with them in their favorite sport of wrestling, and loaded a gun with the seeming intention of shooting him, but Lowry displayed so much courage at their threats, that their wrath was turned into the most extravagant demonstrations of admiration, while they took him up in their arms and carried him about the camp, exclaiming "Brave man! brave man!"[34]
1795
Isaac Zane was one of the sworn interpreters at the making of Wayne’s treaty at Greenville, in 1795. He stood high in the estimation of the Wyandots, who assigned him a tract of land four miles square at the Big Bottom on Mad River. This reservation was not stipulated in the treaty, and he after ward petitioned Congress to confirm the grant. Being in the Virginia Military District, the confirmation could not be made, but the President was empowered to convey by patent to Zane three sections, which he could select from any unsold lands in the Northwest Territory. Two of the sections selected were sold land in the Northwest Territory. Two of the sections were on King’s Creek, east of the Urbana and West Liberty road, embracing now on Kingston Mills; the third, at the mouth of King’s Creek, on Mad River. [35]

The area on the east and south labeled 11 was ceded by the Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The two areas on top labeled 53 and 54 were ceded in 1805 with the Treaty of Fort Industry
The Treaty of Fort Industry was a successor treaty to the Treaty of Greenville, which moved the eastern boundary of Indian lands in northern Ohio from the Tuscarawas River and Cuyahoga River westward to a line 120 miles west of the Pennsylvania boundary, which coincided with the western boundary of the Firelands of the Connecticut Western Reserve.[1] In return, the United States agreed “every year forever hereafter, at Detroit, or some other convenient place” to pay $825 for the ceded lands south of the 41st degree of north latitude, and an additional $175 for the Firelands, which lie north of 41 degrees north, which the President would secure from the Connecticut Land Company, for a total of annuity $1000.00, to be “divided between said nations, from time to time, in such proportions as said nations, with the approbation of the President, shall agree.“[2]

July 4, 1848: The 555-foot-high marble obelisk was first proposed in 1783, and Pierre L'Enfant left room for it in his designs for the new U.S. capital. After George Washington's death in 1799, plans for a memorial for the "father of the country" were discussed, but none were adopted until 1832--the centennial of Washington's birth. Architect Robert Mills' hollow Egyptian obelisk design was accepted for the monument, and on July 4, 1848, the cornerstone was laid. Work on the project was interrupted by political quarreling in the 1850s, and construction ceased entirely during the American Civil War. Finally, in 1876, Congress, inspired by the American centennial, passed legislation appropriating $200,000 for completion of the monument.
In February 1885, the Washington Monument was formally dedicated, and three years later it was opened to the public, who were permitted to climb to the top of the monument by stairs or elevator. The monument was the tallest structure in the world when completed and remains today, by District of Columbia law, the tallest building in the nation's capital.[44]
July 4, 1861: On July 4, Lincoln asked a special session of Congress for 400,000 troops and $400 million, with legal authority “for making this contest a short, and a decisive one.” [45]

July 4, 1863
War Department Telegraph Office, Washington D.C.
As dawn broke on Independence Day, 1863, Abraham Lincoln was awaiting word on Gettysburg. Once the battle was underway the President practically camped out in the telegraph office. The last telegram had been received on July 2, 36 hours earlier. This one was more favorable. Lee had lost.[49]
The southern General had lost the battle, but this is not where he would lose the war. Under the cover of darkness, their movements masked by a powerful thunderstorm. The remnants of Lee’s once unbeaten army of Northern Virginia disappeared. On the evening of July 4th the army retreated to the safety of Virginia. They left their fires burning to fool Union sentries into believing they still remained in camp. Not everyone went home though. There were more than 51,000 casualties on those first three days of July, 1963. That night, the dead stretched as far as the eye could see. Among them were the most severely wounded. They awaited their fate.[50]
July 4, 1863: One source says that Sim Whitsett was with Shelby at Cape Girardeau,
Missouri and Helena, Arkansas in the spring of 1863. I cannot dispute that with
solid evidence, but the timing of those battles makes it seem very unlikely to
me. Edwards reported that Sim was back in Missouri with Todd in July 1863.
The battle of Helena occurred on July 4, 1863. I believe it more likely that Sim
went to Texas with Quantrill and his remaining men in January or February.
The guerrillas returned to Jackson County in March 1863.
Probably immediately after his return to Jackson County Sim learned of
the death of Jeptha Crawford. Jeptha was the father of Mrs. Susan Vandever,
formerly Mrs. Susan Whitsett, widow of Sim’s late cousin William. Jeptha was
also the father of Laura Crawford Whitsett, the wife of Stewart Whitsett.
William, who died before the war, and Stewart were the sons of Isaac and
Cynthia (Noland) Whitsett of Lee’s Summit. Federal militia came to the farm of
the elderly Jeptha in January that year while Simeon was with Shelby during
the raid on Springfield. The militia hung Jeptha as being a southern
sympathizer and guerrilla supporter. They made Mrs. Crawford and Jeptha’s
young children watch the old man as he strangled to death on a tree in the
front yard. The militiamen then took what they wanted from the home and set
it to the torch, leaving the family homeless in the dead of winter. After
Quantrill’s return to Jackson County in April, Mrs. Crawford took her youngest
son, fifteen-year-old Riley, to Quantrill and asked him to make a soldier of the
boy to avenge the death of his father. Riley, the youngest member of
Quantrill’s raiders, not only became a "soldier" but also one of the most vicious
and bloodthirsty of Quantrill’s Raiders, rivaling even the reputation of Bloody
Bill Anderson. However, young Riley did not live to see his seventeenth
birthday.
In the spring and early summer of 1863, the guerrillas operated in small
independent bands. Quantrill perhaps discouraged by his failure in Richmond
and knowing that he had lost the respect of most of his men during his absence
that winter, stayed in the background. He was usually kept informed of the
activities of these groups led by George Todd, William Gregg, Dave Poole,
Bloody Bill Anderson, Cole Younger and a few others. Quantrill rarely helped
plan or participate in their raids. Even so, the authorities and news media
blamed every guerrilla raid in Jackson and Cass County on Quantrill. Quantrill
spent most of his time with his new found lover, Kate King. He and Kate were
secretly married at the cabin of a backwoods preacher against the wishes of
her parents who had forbid her to see Quantrill. During the summer, he was
also planning a project dear to his heart but he needed a catalyst to bring it
together. He was planning a raid on Lawrence, Kansas.
By the end of May the guerrilla groups operating under Todd, Gregg,
Poole, Jarrett and Anderson ensured that the authorities knew Quantrill's
Raiders were back in town. Sometime in July, John Jarrett and William Gregg
took with them five men apiece and crossed into Kansas near Westport. The
twelve waited until dark and set up an ambush along the main road between
Leavenworth and Kansas City. Their first victims were a sergeant and four men
carrying dispatches. The five were killed and the dispatches destroyed. The
3
next to come along was an ambulance carrying a sutler, a sutler's clerk, two
artillerymen who were asleep and a black driver. Jarrett rose up and shouted
for the wagon to halt, but the driver realizing what was happening whipped the
horses in an attempt to flee. Gregg galloped ahead and shot the lead horse in
the traces. The guerrillas killed the sutler, the clerk and the black driver. The
artillerymen were spared because they were regular army and Irishmen. The
guerrillas held them until dark and then let them go without asking for a
pledge.
Just down the road about half a mile was a house that also served as a
tavern. William Gregg, John Ross and Sim Whitsett rode up to the tavern ahead
of the others guerrillas. Gregg called out, "Hello, who keeps the house?" The
owner came out and told the group that he did, but he was full for the night.
Two guerrillas stayed outside with the horses while the other ten prowled the
premises. In the stables three Federals were pulled out of the straw. Another
was cornered and captured in the kitchen. The remaining five militiamen were
caught undressed in beds in various places in the house. All were rounded up
and brought together outside where Jarrett shot them. Then the tavern keeper
was killed over a horse he was trying to save. Unfortunately, brutality like this
was common on the border and both sides were guilty of it.
After killing the Federals and the tavern keeper, the guerrillas burned
the tavern. This was a mistake. The smoke and flames alerted a camp of Union
cavalry who came to put out the fire. Jarrett and Gregg and their ten guerrillas
were gone but the soldiers hunted for them all night and the next day.
The activities by the guerrillas in the spring and summer of 1863
infuriated Brigadier General Thomas Ewing, the Union commander of the
District of the Border. He vowed to keep a thousand men in the saddle until
Quantrill and his men were run to the ground. In the middle of July Quantrill
brought his group together in Jackson County. The Raiders probably numbered
a little more than one hundred men. The guerrilla band rode east towards Blue
Springs and Pleasant Hill when they saw a line of Federal cavalry. The guerrillas
as usual were dressed in Union blue, which allowed them to move around more
easily in an area now saturated with Union troops. Quantrill sent George Todd
and James Little ahead. Two Federals rode out to meet them and halted fifty
yards from Todd and Little.
"Who are you?" asked Todd. The answer was Major Ransom with four
hundred men and two pieces of artillery.
"What is your business?" asked Todd.
"Looking for that damned scoundrel Quantrill and his cut-throats,"
replied the Federal.
Little quickly rode back to Quantrill to report on the situation. He asked
for twenty men to skirmish with the enemy. Quantrill complied sending under
the command of Cole Younger, Frank and Jesse James, George and Richard
Maddox, George Wiggington, Sim Whitsett, Tom Talley and twelve others. Todd
led the charge against an outlying column. The Federals, completely surprised
by the assault were cut to pieces before they could retreat to the main body of
cavalry. Sim Whitsett was seen to shoot three and the James brothers also3
three each. Todd is said to have killed four. The casualties on the Union side
were claimed to be fifteen killed and a dozen wounded with no injuries to the
guerrillas.
Ransom opened fire on the twenty guerrillas with his artillery. The
raiders fell back and Quantrill retreated west in the direction they had just
come. Quantrill sent couriers to Dave Poole, Andrew Blunt and William Gregg
who were behind the main group of guerrillas. They and their men were
ordered to hide themselves at a crossing on the Sni and to hold it. Ransom
slowly and steadily followed Quantrill using his artillery at every opportunity.
Quantrill crossed the Sni and formed a battle line on ground beyond the
crossing. When Ransom's troops began to cross, Poole and the group laying in
ambush opened fire. At the same time Quantrill ordered a charge. Again caught
off guard, Ransom's men broke and ran. Major Ransom was forced to retreat to
Independence. Ransom reported that his casualties numbered fifty-eight.
After this battle Quantrill's men again broke into individual groups and
continued their harassment of the Federals. Quantrill again withdrew from the
activities of the guerrillas and worked on his plan to raid Lawrence, Kansas.
We can only guess at Quantrill’s motives for wanting to raid Lawrence. It
was deep in Kansas and the border was crawling with Federal militia units
whose main mission was to keep Quantrill out of Kansas. Perhaps he saw a raid
on Lawrence as a slap at Confederate leaders back east who were facing dismal
prospects in the west. He also held a grudge against Lawrence, whose citizens
regarded him as a petty thief and loafer. The sheriff of Lawrence had
practically chased him out of the city in 1860, the reason Quantrill had lead the
infamous raid on the Morgan Walker farm. Now he wanted to return to show
Lawrence that he had become someone the Jayhawkers in Lawrence should
fear. Lawrence was the home of Senator Jim Lane and the hot bed of
Jayhawker activities. Many of the atrocities against southern families in
Jackson and Cass Counties had originated with bands of Jayhawkers operating
out of Lawrence. If he could pull it off, it would also show his own men that he
was still a man they should respect. However, he needed something that would
inspire the guerrillas to follow him on such a dangerous mission. The Federal
authorities in Kansas City gave him just what he needed in August 1863.
Lawrence, Kansas
During the summer of 1863, Federal militia units arrested women
suspected of spying for or helping feed and cloth the guerrillas. Susan
(Whitsett) Vandever and her sister Mrs. Armenia Selvey, daughters of Jeptha
Crawford and sisters of guerrilla Riley Crawford, where arrested while buying
flour and supplies in Kansas City. The Federals also arrested three sisters of
Bloody Bill Anderson, the sister of guerrilla John McCorkle, Charity McCorkle
Kerr, and John McCorkle's sister-in-law Nan Harris McCorkle and several other
women. Union General Thomas Ewing commander of the army in Missouri had
3
seventeen of these women held in a three-story brick building on Grand Avenue
in Kansas City until the authorities could expel them from Missouri. The
building was not a jail but was used as a storehouse by merchants who rented
space on the ground floor from the building’s owner, painter George Caleb
Bingham. The southern women were held on the second floor while the
basement was used to jail prostitutes. Adjoined to the building was a barracks
for Union soldiers and guards for the makeshift prison. The building was very
unsafe. Someone had cut away several supporting beams in the basement and
in spots the foundation appeared to be undermined. A concerned citizen
reported the condition of the building to General Ewing. He inspected it but
decided it was safe.[51]

July 4, 1865 produced little excitement. Some of the soldiers whyo had been allowed to purchase their guns for six dollars kept up a loud response very brief racket of musket shot into the air. There were several rows between Negroes and soldiers in town to help break the monotony. Captain Pound read the Declaration Of Independence and the Emancipation Proclamation at dress parade, but thoughts were more on Iowa than on the country’s birthday.[57]

July 4, 1867: Perhaps the most effective method used by the Klan to impress the community with a sense of its mysterious power was the nightly parade, a method still used with great effect by the revived Klan. The following description of the first parade of the Klan in Pulaski the fourth of July, 1867, is so closely paralleled by parades o f the modern Klan that it may well be reproduced here. As a result of the printed notice, “The Klan will parade the streets to-night,” and expectant crowed gathered from the town and surrounding country and lined the streets. “The members of the Klan in the country left their homes in the afternoon and travelled alone or in squads of two or three with their paraphernalia carefully concealed…After nightfall they assembled at designated points…There they doned their robes and disguises and put covers of gaudy material on their horses. A skyrocket sent up from some point in the town was the signal to mount and move. The different companies met and passed each other in the public square in perfect silence; the sicipline appered to be admirable. Not a word was spoken. [60]

Katherine Lee Bates’ poem, America the Beautiful, is published.[63]
July 4, 1915: Abram Gotlib born July 4, 1915 from Varsovie (Warsaw, Poland) was on Convoy 4. [64]
This convoy, which left from Pityhiviers was exclusively male, like the first two convoys. Among the 999 men that the Germans listed according to nationality, there were 937 Poles, 20 Germans, 20 Czechs, 5 Russians, 1 Austrian, 1 stateless, and 8 undetermined.
The men’s ages vary from 20 top 54, with the majority (795) between ages 31 and 42.
The list is extremely difficult to decipher. It shows family name, first name, date and place of birth, family status, nationality, profession and address.
The addresses indicate that all were living in or afoutne Paris, as in the two preceding convoys (mainly from working class neighborhoods, the 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th, and 20th districts). And, like those in the two preceding convoys, they were arrested during the operations of May and August, 1941.
The list was signed on June 22nd, 1942, by the Commandant of the Pithiviers camp, with two amendments dated June 24, concerning the replacement of 5 men.
Certain Gestapo documents concern this convoy: XXVI-31 of June 16; XXVb-38 of June 17 and 18; XXVb-40 of June 25, which was the telex of the SiPo=SD Kommando of Orleans addressed to the anti-Jewish section IV J of the Gestapo in Paris, announcing that the list of 1,000 Jewish men was sent to IV J. Document XXVI-35 of June 19 gives the schedule for the train: Pithiviers, 6:15 AM; Troyes, 11:35 AM; St-Dizier, 3:14 PM; Revigny, 4:29 PM.
The routine telex, sent on June 25 to Eichmann in Berlin, to the Inspector for Concentration Camps at Oranienburg, and to the Commandant at Auschwitz, shows that the convoy did leave Pithiviers at 6:15 AM as predicted on e week earlier. The telex indicates that there were 1,000 Jews and that the “head of the convoy” (Transportfuhrer) to Neuberg (on the border) was Lieut. Kleinschmidt.
When they arrived in Auschwitz, on June 27, the 1,000 deportees received numbers 41773 to 42772. On August 15, seven weeks later, 557 were still alive. Forty-Five percent had died, as compared to ythe 80% for the preceding convoy. Two factors expolain this considerable differencd. First, the average age on this convoy was five years less than the preceding two. Second, more than 90% of the deportees were of Polish origin and better able to resist the terrible conditions in the Polish camp of Auschwitz than, for example, were the 435 French Jews of Convoy #3, which had left just three days earlier.
To the best of our knowledge, 59 survivors returned in 1945.[65]
July 4, 1920: The Buck Creek Church had never before had a Forth of July celebration. What they were really celebrating was the success of the first phase of their battle to form a consolidated school district.[66]
July 4, 1939: The Reichsvereinigung der Juden in Deutschland (Reich Association of Jews in Germany) replaces the Reichsvertretung der Juden in Deutschland (Reich Representation of Jews in Germany).[67]
July 4, 1941: German forces occupy Pinsk. Latvians serving German units set fire to the central Synagogue in Riga. A Judenrat is established in Vilna. About 5,000 Vilna Jews are killed during the monthe of July by Einsatzkommando 9 and local collaborators.[68]
• July 4-11, 1941: Five thousand Ternopol Jews are killed in a pogrom.[69]
July 4, 1942: Faced with Knochen’s insistence, Bousquet conceds to Darquier de Pellepoix the right to make proposals for the coming anti=Jewish action and says that to carry ity out “he [Bopusquet] will, recognizing the need, put his police at the disposal of Pellepois.” It is decided that Bousquet, Darquier de Pellepoix, and Knochen will meet on July 4 to settle the details.
Bousquet also takes the opportunity to clarify the Vichy position. He asserts that “following questions from the Marshal [Petain], make the arrests in the Occupied Zone. On the contrary, he wishes to leave this task to the [German] occupation forces. In the Unoccupied Territory, Laval proposed…to arrest and transfer only Jews of foreign nationality.” The Vichy position is doubtless extremely embarrassing for Knochen, who wants at all cost to avoid using German police; their presence in the streets of Paris would provoke intensified anti-German feelings among the French public. Further, only a hundred German police are available and the raids will require thousands. Bousquet makes it clear that “on the French side we have nothing against the arrests themselves, and it is only their execution by French police in Paris that would be embarrassing. This was the personal wish of the Marshal.”
Knochen does not want to provoke a crises with Vichy that will undermine his efforts to create an effective /Franco-German police collaboration, but he needs the Paris police to carry out the raids. Matching Bousquet’s invocation of Petain, Knochen invokes Hitler. “In all of his latest speeches,” Knochen asserts, “the Fuhrer has insisted on nothing so much as the absolute necessity for a definitive solution of the Jewish Question. That is why this principle alone will determining the measures we intend to take here, and not the position of the French government. If the French government places obstacles in the way of the arrests, the Fuhrer will certainly not show understanding.”
The threat is clear: if the French police do not participate in the anti-Jewish action in Paris, Vichy will be committing a direct provocation against Hitler’s personal wishes. Bousquet surrenders. According to the minutes: “This is why we have arrived at the following arrangement: since, following the point raised by the Marshal, there is no question for the moment of arresting Jews of French nationality, Bousquet declares himself ready to carry out arrests of foreign Jews throughout French territory [in both the Occupied and Unoccupied Zones], in a unified action and the numbers we wish.”[70]
July 4, 1942: After writing his report on the July 4 meeting with Bousquet, Dannecker sends Eichmann an urgent telex to inform him of the outcome of the decisive negotioations that have gone on since Eichmann’s departure from Paris on July 1. Dannecker prefers not to begin with his desappoiting news; French Jews will not be arrested, at least for the time being. He leaves it to Eichmann to deuce this from the agreement he reports; “All stateless Jews of the Occupied Zone and the Unoccupied Zone will be readied for evacutation when we order it.” He feels constrained at the end of the telex to specify further; “To close, I must note that until the present we have only been able to settle the question of stateless or foreign Jews to get the action started.” Dannecker ends on an optimistic note: “In the second phase we will attend to the Jews naturalized in France after 1919 or 1927.”
In this telex, Dannecker raises the problem of Jewish children in two sentences that will forever be written in the history of France, because they originate with the head of the French government.
In his initial plan for the roundups on June 15, Dannecker wrote of the “transplantation: of the Jews, “with, in perspective, the possibility of later sending the children under 16 years of age who have been left behind.” But on July 4, according to DANNECKER; “Premier Laval has proposed that at the time of the evacuation of Jewish families from the Unoccupied Zone, their children be taken as well. As for the Jewish children who would remain in the Occupied Zone, the question does not interest him.”
Thus Laval proposes to the Germans the deportation of entire families without a minimum age limit; he leaves to the Nazis the responsibility and therefore a free hand to decide ondeportation of children under 16 whose parent will be arrested in the Occupied Zone and deported. These are children who, as he well knows, are for the most part French, even if to an anti-Semite Jewish children born in France to foreign parents are, in the words of Xavier Vallat, the first Vichy Commissioner for Jewish Questions, “only trainees in French nationality.”
What are Laval’s motives? He explains them at a cabinet meeting in Vichy on July 10: “With humane intentions, the head of government obtained agreement, contrary to the initial German terms, that children, including those under 16, would be permitted to accompany their parents.”Laval’s humanitarian intentions may be doubted.[71]
July 4, 1942: Berta Gottliebova, February 3, 1880. Transport AAm- Olomouc , Terezin July 4, 1942. Bc –August 25,1942 Maly Trostinec.[72]

July 4, 1943: The original “Mighty Mo” was not battleship Missouri, but the lone US Navy destroyer awarded two Navy Unit Commendations for action in World War II—USS Morrison (DD 560).
Laid down June 30, 1942 at Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp., Seattle, Washington, Morrison was the builder’s seventh of 21 2100-ton Fletcher-class destroyers. At her launch early on July 4, 1943, she was named a for Civil War coxswain and Medal of Honor recipient. She commissioned December 18, 1943 under Comdr. Walter H. Price, USN, the 137th of 175 2,100-tonners to join the fleet. [75]
Uncle Howard Snell was on the Morrison.
July 4 1946
The Kielce pogrom. 37 (+2) Jews were massacred and 80 wounded out of about 200 who returned home after World War II. There were also killed 2 non-Jewish Poles.[76]
July 4, 1958: John Paul II was born Karol Jozef Wojtyla in Wadowice, Poland, 35 miles southwest of Krakow, in 1920. After high school, the future pope enrolled at Krakow's Jagiellonian University, where he studied philosophy and literature and performed in a theater group. During World War II, Nazis occupied Krakow and closed the university, forcing Wojtyla to seek work in a quarry and, later, a chemical factory. By 1941, his mother, father, and only brother had all died, leaving him the sole surviving member of his family.
Although Wojtyla had been involved in the church his whole life, it was not until 1942 that he began seminary training. When the war ended, he returned to school at Jagiellonian to study theology, becoming an ordained priest in 1946. He went on to complete two doctorates and became a professor of moral theology and social ethics. On July 4, 1958, at the age of 38, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Krakow by Pope Pius XII. [77]

[53] On July 4, the troops celebrated Independence Day with speeches, singing, and music, and a sword was presented to Colonel Wilds by the noncommissioned officers and privates that cost $200. The sutler was allowed to sell beer to the privates and officers for a change, and the camp became uncommonly noisy and jubilant until late at night. The formal celebration ended with an evening parade through town. “Rigby wrote:
“I suppose the spectators were not very pleasant to us who were the performers. The fair maidens and even the widows of Thibodaz denied to give tone to the exercises by their presence who with pouting cherry lips and significant tosses of evening tresses viewed us as modest anti Dixie ladies would a troop of gypsies. We’ve obliged the witness of another drunken row in our company during the evening. It is time such things were played out. The Tipton Advertiser, July 28, 1864, p. 2; Rigby Journal, July 4, 1864.
