August 4, 70 A.D.[1] Finally the Temple itself, with its vast complex of buildings and courts, was burnt and utterly demolished.[2]
August 4, 367: Gratian, son of Roman Emperor Valentinian I, is named co-August by his father and associated to the throne aged eight. The reign of Valentinan I was a period of religious toleration where all cults, including Judaism, were practiced with little or no interference from the state. Gratian would reverse his father’s policy of toleration, although most of his actual edicts were aimed against the Pagans.[3]
378: Valens is challenged in 378 when the Goths attack Adrianopal. [4]
August 4, 1265: During the Baron’s War, Prince Edward (the future King Edward I of England), leading the armies his father, King Henry III defeated the forces of rebellious barons led by Sim de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leiceswter at the Battle of Evesham killing de Montfort and many of his allies. Some barons rebel against de Montfort and kill him at Battle of Evesham. [5] The second great encounter of the Barons' War—the Battle of Evesham, on August 4, 1265. Montfort stood little chance against the superior royal forces, and after his defeat he was killed and mutilated on the field.[35][6]
During the Barons Wars, the Jews were seen as instruments of royal oppression and one Jewish community after another was ransacked and many of its inhabitants killed during the fighting which had begun in 1263. In 1264, the violence became so bad, that many Jews fled to Normandy. As bad as things were under King Henry III, life would be worse under the reign of Edward who would order their expulsion in 1290.[7]
Through such episodes as the deception of Derby at Gloucester, Edward acquired a reputation as untrustworthy. During the summer campaign, though, he began to learn from his mistakes, and acted in a way that gained the respect and admiration of his contemporaries.[36] The war did not end with Montfort's death, and Edward participated in the continued campaigning.
1266: During the government of the Lords of the Isles, which commenced on the abandonment of their conquests by the Norwegians to the King of Scotland, A.D. 1266 and terminated at the forfeiture of the last lord, A.D. 1493 (temp. James III.), but little can be gathered concerning the deeds of the clan, as, in consequence of their connection with the MacDonalds, many a bold enterprise was doubtless attributed to that powerful tribe which held sway over the lesser tribes, and which would naturally include their actions amongst their own.[8] Manfred defeated and killed by Charles of Anjou at Benevento, Balban the Sultan of Delhi rules, Roger Bacon writes “Opus maius”, Sanjuasangendo Temple at Kyoto Japan built, English bakers begin marking loaves of bread to identify the source of bad bread – thus establishing the trademark.

August 4, 1574
To Monsieur de La Mothe Eenelon. [19]
From Sheffield, the 4th August, 1574.
Monsieur de La Mothe Fénélon, — Since your last cipher,
which I received at Whitsunday, I have seen those of the
21st and 29th of June, and the 11th of July, and the letters
of my people which you have sent me, for which I thank you,
and beg that when you receive any you will direct them
safely by this conveyance, and likewise those which they shall
deliver to you for me, that I may learn from time to time
how my affairs stand in that quarter ; which cannot be openly
written in this country, especially where it concerns . my
relations who are so odious to them. I write at this time to
my uncle, the Cardinal of Lorraine, following your opinion,
to send some present to the Earl of Leicester ; and I beg
that you will, on your part, persuade my said uncle that it
will do me good here, and that I may have, from time to
time, some small rarity wherewith to compliment the Queen
of England ; and I know well that that will have more weight
with him, for perhaps he thinks that such is only my opinion.
I write to my ambassador to request him to send me some
more money, and assign a pension of one hundred crowns
annually to Cockin, as secret messenger between us, which
you will please always to pay to him, and very secretly ; and
besides what remains of my money there, you will give him
something to defray his journeys to me, paying him promptly
what I beg you to give him, for he has had nothing from me
for all his journeys ; and I hope you will find him convenient
for the king's service as well as for mine, if well maintained
without being detected. To which I beg you will have an
eye, for I shall cause all the information which comes to the
knowledge of my several friends, who more than ever have a
care for me, to be sent to you secretly when haste is required ;
and whatever is directed to myself, or that otherwise I can dis-
cover, I promise faithfully to let you know, and that I shall
be no less vigilant for the king, my good brother, than for
myself. And if I could have written to you a little more
frequently, I should have found the means of informing you
of what passed between their spies on the other side, and of
this council, which I believe would be at present out of time,
since, thanks to God Î the king is to come so seasonably to
delay it.
They have sent to the friends in Germany, and to negotiate
the same in Poland, and to take care that those who held
office under the late king, and since from the queen-mother,
should not be believed in their account of the cause of the
restraint of the Duke of Alençon ; and of Conde, who is in
the wrong, I am sure, they spoke very favourably. They
strongly charge the Marshal de Cossé with being faint-hearted
from his imprisonment. The other particulars would be out
of season at present ; and, besides, I am sure you are not
ignorant of them, being better informed than me. But I say
this to show you that having at present the means of writing,
and that being kept so secret as not to injure me, I think I am
able to assist you. Kemember the information which I gave you,
that the English ambassadors were to create division between
the brothers. I do not know whether I wrote to you plainly ;
but I know well that I told you that I had it from good hands.
At present I have no news except that they are much sur-
prised at the accession of the king, and fear a war. Yet they
trust to being courted by the said king, my good brother.
They are more jealous than ever, from the suspicion which
you know they have for a long time had that I have trans-
ferred my right to the king from henceforth, and also they
say that I love the house of Guise too much ; and they know
well that, of all my brothers-in-law, I have ever expected as
much from this one as from the rest ; and, to say the truth,
it is correct, for the good- will which he has ever borne to me
from childhood, I hope that he has not changed, and also I
shall not deserve it.
As for the rest, the latest news which I have heard, of
which I am sure you are well aware, were, that the fleet was
ready to sail, although they were still in suspense, seeing that
the Queen of England w^as now sure that the King of Spain
intended to make no attempt upon this country. This came
from good hands, I can answer for it, two days prior to the
receipt of your last. Since then these ships have sailed, I do
not know as yet wherefore ; there are different opinions
about it ; but she has no great fear from that quarter, unless
it is within these ten or twelve days, nor, as I understand,
have they from her. But they think it certain that they will
agree ; what they think, I know nothing of it. Of this
report about my son,*[20] they write to me that it is quite cur-
rent, and that it is founded upon information which the queen,
my good mother, has given to the Queen of England ; but I
do not believe that such a false intimation comes from so good
a quarter ; and so I cannot believe that Killigrew has written
anything about it, for I swear by my faith that nothing of
the kind has come to my knowledge. But I believe that
they say one thing to you, and another to others ; for George
Douglas was commissioned by the late king and by me,
through my ambassador, and by my uncle, to negotiate with
the same Erskine to conduct my son to Dumbarton, and
thence to France, of which he wrote me to have good hope ;
and by my God I knew nothing more about it. But, since
they have discovered that, they tell you the other story, in
order that you may not oppose their bringing him here ; for
it is for that purpose that Killigrew is there. And, to speak
to you with the confidence of a true friend, they wrote to me
that on the other side they have given them the same alarm,
and other things of which I never heard mention ; so that my
friends (which I beg you will keep secret) have written to me
in great haste not to come to any determination upon four
things, which they say are to be proposed to me from dif-
ferent sides, without their advice. And I have enough to do
to remove their fears, and convince them that nothing of the
kind has been proposed. I would show you at a glance, if I
could speak to you, that there are designs to put my friends
to trouble on all sides ; and, by my faith, I know nothing of
the foundation, except that you may say in their hearing
that everybody thinks to make use of me ; and yet it is only
myself who feels, much to the contrary, that no one remem-
bers it.
Besides, I think that you have heard that Bedford, a few
days since, was suspected of having had a design to kill my
Lord Burleigh, with the connivance of Huntingdon ; which,
being concealed from him, he went to the Queen of England
to tell her that he was aware of the reports circulated against
him ; which she, wishing to deny, and refusing to tell him
who had apprised her of them, had like much to have set them
at variance, although nothing has followed in it but suspicion.
I am sure that you have been made aware of it They say
that the Earl of Leicester endeavours to gain Walsingham's
approval of his suit for me ; if it is so, you will know it, and I
shall write to you how they advise me to behave in the matter:
but I do not believe it. I must say that I am extremely
vexed that you have taken my last letter in such part as you
seem to have done. For, as to your prudence, I no more
doubted it than your good will ; but I wrote to you privately
the reply which was made when they lamented the danger in
which I was ; not that I thought that you had not well and
wisely directed what you had written on the other side- but
to show you how others would draw from it an excuse for de-
laying to provide for it. I know well these delays of court,
and how, upon my own letters, they can lay hold of it, I
beseech you. Monsieur de La Mothe Fénélon, not to think
that I have any other opinion of your actions than of those of
a very wise gentleman, and of good conscience, but that I
look upon you as a real friend, to whom I shall ever feel
obliged ; and if my opinion were otherwise, I should not act
so freely with you. As to what you say, that some wdio
pretended to be friends complained that you did not ask their
assistance eagerly enough, I cannot imagine of whom you
speak, and do not remember to have heard such things of you
that you yourself favour the Huguenots : of your servants I do
not speak ; but that the person who speaks so foolishly on that
subject has shewn himself to be an enemy of France, of which
I am the friend and ally for life. I beg you will write to me
his name, w^hich I promise you I shall not reveal to a creature
in this world, but that I may be on my guard, and may tell
you what I know of him ; and, upon my faith, I shall not use
it but at your discretion. And, because I am obliged to make
all these scrawls stealthily, I cannot at present write to you
at greater length. I shall only beg of you, if you receive the
small chest of articles which I need, to send it to me privily.
Written at Sheffield, the 4th of August, 1574.
The Queen of Scotland.
P. 8, — Since writing this cipher, I have heard pleasant
news of the king, who they say escaped from Poland by
his kitchen, having only, of all his movables, left but two
glasses, after having made each drink heartily, while he drank
water only. The information came from Venice ; but the
more that I see there, they complain of having, for a long
time, heard nothing from France, except that they expect
the king at Lyons on the sixth of this month, for which they
are very sorry. [21]
To THE Archbishop of Glasgow and the Cardinal of
Lorraine.
[Decipher, — From the ColUction of Bishop Kyle ^ at Preshome.]
From Sheffield, the 4 August [1574].
Since my ciphers which I wrote to you of the 2 2d of May,
I received yours of the 28 th April, of the 12th, 23d, and
25 til of May, of the 28th of June, and have seen that for
your brother of Whitsunday. To reply to which generally,
not having leisure to write particularly upon the whole, be-
cause at the time prefixed my dispatch requires to be ready,
I will tell you that I am quite satisfied with all your proceed-
ings, and having received, as I hope you have done, my said
cipher, you will be suflSciently informed of my intentions on
the points on which you desire to be resolved, especially
touching the English, to whom, in particular to Westmore-
land, you will make known my desire to do better, when I
shall have the means ; and as to his appointment, I should be
well pleased that he had it, provided that two things were
seen to ; the one his safety, of which I am doubtful, for the
rest of those who are of his religion, and better backed at
court than him, begin to draw back in it, as you understand
of Oxford and others, of whom I know nothing in particular,
except that few people feel themselves secure or contented
here, who do not side with the Puritans, of whom Hunting-
don is the leader, or with the Protestants, which are two con-
trary factions very inimical to each other and always united
against me ; an unworthy comparison, but, as they say in the
proverb, that Caiaphas and Pilate became friends to judge
our Lord. And yet both flatter me. In short, it is difficult
for a good Catholic to maintain himself here without danger
to his life, or, which is dearer, his conscience. However, in-
forming you of the offers which are made to him, I shall take
care, by my first dispatch, to apprise you of what can be dis-
covered of tliem, or acquaint him with it by other means.
Still I do not wish to advise him to refuse a good offer if
made to him, but heartily to admonish him, that in accepting
it he has regard not to injure the cause of God, his friends,
and his reputation, by assuring his life only upon dishonour
,able terms ; and that vou will entreat him as a friend to look
to his mode of living in a strange country, and not lightly to
neglect his friends, for frivolous quarrels, or vain words, for
all comes to account in the end. You can consider of this with
Ligons, who will be a good person to speak to him, and in what
terms; and having paid them what I ordered in my last cipher
to you, either from the surplus money in the hands of the car-
dinal my uncle, or otherwise, secretly admonish them to live in
charity and patience, reminding them of the saying of Caesar
while at sea during a storm, seeing that if they are banished,
I am a prisoner. It is necessary however to be cautious with
them, for they are too free ; I leave all to your discretion.
As for Sir Francis Englefield, keep him as long as you
can, reserving the final resolution till the issue of these wars
in Flanders, and that he may see a sure plan for my libera-
tion; and that you may know better how to conduct yourself
in such matters henceforward for some time, I will show you
the present state of this country, which you will lay before
my said uncle only, with a positive injunction not to reveal it
as coming from me, and to write to me his opinion thereon,
on hearing which, I shall more surely determine ; and, in
what relates to the advantage of the King, I shall be well
pleased that he informs him of it, but that it will answer as
well if he does not know it comes from me.
Now to begin : you know that there are three factions in
this kingdom ; one of the Puritans, in favour of Huntingdon,
who is privily supported by Leicester ; another of Burleigh,
for Flertford ; and the third of the poor Catholics ; and of all
these this queen is the enemy, and only considers Hatton,
Walsingham, and several others, at all free from suspicion,
expressing herself to them thus, that she would wish to return
after her death, to see the murders, quarrels, and divisions in
this country. " For," says she, " Leicester flatters Hertford,
and stands for his own brother-in-law, and the others would
like to be rid of me. But if the third comes (speaking of me),
she will soon take off their heads." And therefore she has
persuaded the said Hatton neither to purchase lands nor build
houses, for, if she were dead, he could not live. Yet Leicester
talks over Monsieur de La Mo the/ to persuade me that he is
wholly for me, and professes that afterwards he is to propose
marriage to me, and endeavours to gain over Walsingham, my
mortal enemy, to this effect. Burleigh writes very civilly of
me, when he thinks it will come to my ears, protesting that
he will not, like others, suffer anything to be said to hhn
against me (he alludes to Leicester), as the nearest relative
of the queen, and whom he desires to honour as far as I shall
not offend his mistress. Notwithstanding Bedford, who is
entirely Leicester's, as he himself has caused me to be in-
formed, solicits to have me, to persuade me to come to it. But
recently they have charged him with the knowledge of a con-
spiracy against the life of Burleigh, of which he is acquitted.
I do not know what will be the result, but they have little
confidence in each other. Nevertheless they are all greatly
afraid of the King of France at present ; and as much as they
wished for the death of the late king, so much are they now
dejected, and desirous of that of the present good king, whom
they have reported to be ill of the same disease as his bro-
ther ; and rail against the queen mother, who they say has
usurped the government by her own private authority, blam-
ing her for the strict confinement of M. de Alençon,t who at
first, boldly and distinctly, they said ought to be king, and
that, as such, they wished to maintain him. But since then
they have cooled ; however they do not call the present
one king of France. They complain that their ambassador
has not such good information as he was wont, and that
nobody dare visit him without being searched ; and, to say
the truth, their information is not so particular as it used to
be. But it is necessary to look narrowly there, and among
others at Drysdale. For he will spoil all if we do not take
care of him. He is deceitful, and threatens me, if I do
not do for him as he wishes : for which I have signed him
an order. Make him of service in something where he need
not be paid, and above all that he may not know that you
have anything in cipher from me. For the rest, there is
so much evil in this country that there is nothing else. Bur-
leigh even is in discredit, and meddles no further in affairs
than to endeavour to please, especially the Catholics in the
Tower of London. My keeper is always suspected; but
they fear so much this new king, and this Spanish army,
that, seeing it defies them, they suffer it to pass along for a
time. Dr. Wilson, my great enemy, has said to a creature
of my keeper, and of quality, that he would be glad to get rid
of me ; for otherwise they would endeavour to do me a bad
turn, or make me suffer in his hands, which would be disgrace-
ful to him, and they knew would not be to his liking. My
friends here, the more they are persecuted the better they love
and esteem me. You have heard the suspicion against Alex-
ander Hamilton. They have discovered nothing in it, and at
present accuse him of that for which they have no grounds.
Monsieur de La Mothe writes to me that it is of having de-
signed, with Alexander Erskine,*[22] to carry my son into Spain,
by the advice of Killegrew ; and my friends write to me that
it is the queen-mother who has written here that they should
be on their guard with him. Have an eye to learn the truth
there ; for you can assure them that nothing of the kind is in
agitation here. Besides, my friends have written to me that
they have a great jealousy of the King of France, and that
they say that they speak of our marriage, and of that of Don
John of Austria, of that of the emperor's son, and of Leices-
ter, and I have heard nothing of the one or of the other.
But they consider it so certain that it is to be proposed to me,
that they earnestly entreat me not to bind myself to one
party or another without their privity, for fear which they
have of my life. They say that the emperor's son is to make
a handsome offer to me, but I know nothing of it yet. The
Spanish ambassador has written to me, and requested me not
to be in a haste either for the proposals from that country or
for the accession of the new king, but to wait three months,
in which time he promises me comfortable tidings from that
quarter. I have answered him civilly, to remove suspicion,
except to wish a firm league between the two kings, for the
benefit of the poor Catholics who look for this happy day.
In short, that the imposthume is ready to burst in this island,
by which it is to be considered, that as I do not wish to pre-
cipitate anything, that also if these suspicions (which I can-
not ) are not followed by some provision for my deliverance, I am in danger of my life, and the Catholics have
much to suffer. The vessels sent to sea by this queen are
partly to prevent the king's return, if he comes by sea by
stealth, as they are secretly informed ; for as to the Spanish
army, they have allowed it to pass, and have an eye, in good
stead, on that which follows it. As for her majesty's army, it
is doubtful if it will march, being assured of the design of the
King of Spain upon this country, w^hich was the reason for
retarding the forces prepared for Ireland. The said agent
writes to me also that they are on very good terms. I hope
to know what passes between the ambassador of the said king
and this queen, which I will communicate to you. If the
King of France desires to be served in this country by my
means, he must, when there is an opportunity, send one of
my people, with some business invented for somebody, some-
times on my private matters, and (if the bearer is sure and
secret) address the letters to Monsieur de La Mothe, with
orders from the king to deliver them to me, and to send back
the answers ; for he suspects and retains the ciphers. You
can make use of this information for the benefit of the house-
hold.
As to what you [write to me] by your brother's letter,
touching your office, I have, by open letters, already written
to the king, which I hope you have now got, that he may
receive you with the same title, and send you another at all
hazards. For I cannot withdraw the patents from Kaulet,
for the reasons which you will learn from your brother ; for
at present Curie has more than he can do to reply to my
friends, independent of this, which I have scrolled with my
own hand. Kemember to send me the box containing the
gold articles, which I want, to Monsieur de La Mothe, to
give me them secretly. I have been told that Piguillon*[23] has
retired, and that Esquilly is dead. I should be well pleased
if you would interfere in the superintendence of my aifairs,
so as to see that all the others obey my will. Raulet is of
opinion that I should appoint nobody, and he would be willing
to serve under me. But it appears to me that he is not to
meddle with great aifairs henceforward, except in conversa-
tion. Do what you can to satisfy Adam Gordon, at least till
you see if you can procure for him an honourable appoint-
ment from the king, and rather, in the meantime, advance
him a thousand francs from me to encourage him. It is ne-
cessary that I should maintain the person who always, at the
risk of his life, travels for me between this and London : I
propose to pay him one hundred crowns 'per annum^ by the
hands of Monsieur de La Mothe ; besides which, for his ex-
traordinary journeys, I shall order the said de La Mothe to
pay him out of what money of mine he has in his hands, for it
is necessary that he should send others frequently. Consult as
to his remuneration with the Bishop of Boss, who knows him
his name is Cockin. As for the opinion of the cardinal, my
uncle, to send my money in a box, I like it well, and humbly
entreat him so to do, and beg him to do me some good turn,
and I promise him, if I am ever at liberty, to do him as much
honour, and more, than he has ever had annoyance for me ;
so that, if God gives me life, religion will be served by me,
and I shall not be useless to my people ; but that they may
not leave me here abandoned to my enemies. For the rest,
I beseech him to have me in his good favour, and to inform
me at large of his pleasure, either by his own cipher or by
your's. Caution him strictly that nobody, save you and him-
self, may know anything of what I write to you, for a word
inadvertently escaping might cost me my life, were it only
for fear of my correspondence.
What follows is for the cardinal, my uncle.
In order, my good uncle, to save you the trouble of making
out so long a cipher, and also as I have received nothing from
you, with your's, for so long a time, which makes me doubtful
if you have it beside you at present, I have mentioned above
the little which I can learn of matters here, in order that my
ambassador may communicate the whole to you. My life is
continually sought after ; but for a time they allow it to rest
until this Michaelmas, in hope that the indisposition of my
keeper will give them new cause and colour for placing me
with Bedford, a man without the fear of God or honour, and
entirely devoted to the Puritans. If I see myself in his
hands, you may be sure of my death, and therefore I entreat
you to think of it. I have not leisure particularly to make
obvious to you the certainty which I have of his purpose ;
that is for the first opportunity. But Monsieur de La Mothe
advises me to entreat that my cousin of Guise, my grand-
mother, and you, will write some civil letters to Leicester,
thanking him for his courtesy to me, as if he had done much
for me, and by the same medium send him some handsome pre-
sent, which will do me much good. He takes great delight
in furniture ; if you send him some crj^stal cup in your name,
and allow me to pay for it, or some fine Turkey carpet, or
suchlike, as you may think most fitting, it will perhaps save
me this winter, and will make him much ashamed, or sus-
pected by his mistress, and all will assist me. For he intends
either to make me speak of marriage or die, as it is said, so
that either he or his brother may have to do with this crown.
I beseech you to try if such small devices can save me, and I
shall entertain him with the other at a distance. T have re-
ceived the letter which you were pleased to write to me with
your own hand, of the 28th of June, which has given me no
small consolation to see by it that you are not angry with
me, but wish to take the management of my affairs, as I have
requested you. And so, leaving to the Bishop of Glasgow to
inform you of my condition, I shall kiss your hands, praying
God that he may give you, my good uncle, in health, a long
and happy life.
Your very obedient niece, and good daughter.
Farther, my Lord of Glasgow, I approve of the division
which you have made of my money among my subjects. If
the Earl of Oxford*[24] arrives in your neighbourhood, inform
my cousin of Guise that he is one of the greatest people of
this countr}^, and a Catholic, and a friend in secret ; and re-
quest him to give him a hearty welcome. He is frolicsome
and young, and will gladly seek for the society of young
people. I entreat my said cousin and his brothers to cherish
him, and give him some horses, and keep company with him,
taking him about with them to amuse him, and that they will
do so for my sake. And so, I shall conclude, praying God to
have you in his holy and worthy keeping.

August 4, 1578: This date is considered a Moroccan Purim (Purim de Los Christianos), when Jews there faced near disaster when the opposition led by King Sebatian of Portugal nearly succeeded in conquering the country. The Portuguese were defeated at al-Qasr al-Kabir. Their defeat meant that the Inquisition would not be coming to Morocco. The Jews of Morocco saw them self-delivered from a Portuguese Haman, hence the name of the celebration. [27]
1578-81: The Talmud was published in Switzerland in 1578-1581, as well as in Wilna, lublin, and in other European cities. Some these editions from the late Middle Ages were expurgated, omitting, for instance, attacks against Christianity, but they were expurgated also because of the very length of the Talmud.[28]

•The Great Peace of Montreal was a peace treaty between New France and 40 First Nations of North America. It was signed on August 4, 1701, by Louis-Hector de Callière, governor of New France, and 1300 representatives of 40 aboriginal nations of the North East of North America. The treaty ended 100 years of war between the Iroquois, allied to the English, and the French, allied to the Hurons and the Algonquians. It provided 16 years of peaceful relations and trade before war started again. Present for the diplomatic event were the various peoples part the Iroquois confederacy, the Huron peoples, and the Algonquian peoples. [1][31]

August 4-6, 1763: Bushy Run. The Battle of Bushy Run. August 4-6, 1763. Near the beginning of Pontiac’s Conspiracy, Colonel Henry Bouquet, with 400 British troops, was marching to the relief of Fort Pitt when he was ambushed by a force of Indians near a stream named Bushy Run. The Indians were Shawnee, Delaware, Seneca, Wyandot, Ottawa, Miami, and others. Bouquet sent a reinforced advance unit up over a small hillside (Edge Hill) where they drove the Indians back before retreating and forming an improvised "flour-sack fort."

A reenactment of the battle is held each August at Bushy Run State Park on the Saturday and Sunday closest to the August 4-6 dates.
The site of The Battle of Bushy Run is approximately 20 miles east of Pittsburgh and eight miles south of US 22. Bushy Run is about half-way between Fort Ligonier and Fort Pitt (Pittsburgh). Bushy Run Creek feeds into Brush Creek and then into Turtle Creek to the Monongahela near the site of the Battle of the Monongahela.

August 4, 1771: The courts for Westmoreland County were not in existence
for a year until the boundary controversy with Virginia broke out
with virulence. Two years before the organization of Westmoreland County out of Bedford County, troubles between the Pennsylvania
and Virginia adherents had occurred, and the situation at that
time is well illustrated by a quaint letter to Arthur St. Clair
written by George Wilson, dated Springhill Township, August 4,
1771. Both St. Clair and Wilson were then Justices of the
Bedford County court. Wilson had come into Pennsylvania from
Virginia, in 1768 or 1769, and had settled on George's Creek, near
New Geneva in the present Fayette County, and though from
Virginia he became and remained an ardent adherent of Penn-
sylvania. He was the great-grandfather of Hon. W. G. Hawkins,
now the President Judge of the Orphans' Court for Allegheny
county. A portion of his letter was as follows:
"I am sorry that the first letter that I ever undertook to write
you should contain a Detail of a Grievance so Disagreeable to
me; Wars of any Cind are not agreeable to any Person Possessed
of ye proper feelings of Humanity, but more especially intestin
Broyls. I no sooner Returned Home from Court than I Found
papers containing the Resolves, as they Called them, of ye inhabi-
tants to ye Westward of ye Laurel hills, was handing fast about
amongst ye people, in which amongst ye rest Was one that the
Ware Resolved to oppose Every of Pens Laws as they Called
them. Except Felonious actions, at ye risque of Life, & under ye
penalty of fifty pounds, to be Recovered or Leveyed By themselves
off ye Estates of ye failure. The first of them I found hardey
anugh to ofter it in public I emediately ordered in Custoty, on
which a large number Ware assembled as Was seposed to Resque
the Prisonar. I indavoured, by all ye Reason I was Capable of to
convince them of ye ill consequences that would of Consequence
attend such a Rebellion, & Hapily Gained on the people to Consent
to relinquish their Resolves & to Bum the Paper they signed —
when ther Forman saw that the Arms of his centry, that as hee
said He had thrown himself into, would not Resque him By force,
hee catched up his Rifle, Which Was Well Loaded, Jumped out
of Dors & swore if any man Cam nigh him he Would put what
Was in his throo them; the Person that Had him in Custody
Called for assistance in ye King's name, and in particular com-
manded my self. I told him I was a Subject & was not fit to
command if not willing to obey, on which I watched’/=Ihis eye until
I saw a chance. Sprang in on him & Seized the Rifle by ye Muzzle
ic« and held him So as he Could not Shoot me, untill more help Gott

August 4, 1779:
William Vance (James 2, Andrew 1, born 1735. He apparently became a Captain. He married Mary ? and died in 1792. DAR patriot index and Nat. No. 512607 have a William Vance, born 1740-42 in VA, died October 1792. This William married three times: 1. Nancy Gilkerson, 2. Mary Colville, daughter of Samuel Colville, and 3. Ann Glass. William served as an Ensign, recommended in Frederick Co VA August 4, 1779.[39] Samuel Colville, of Shenandoah, whose will was proved in 1807, left James and John Colville, the last perhaps representative of Shenandoah in the Virginia house of delegates, 1819-1821; and daughter, Mary Vance, Capt. Andrew Colville, born 1739, in Frederick county, Va., later of Wythe county, Va., was captain at King’s Mountain; and Samuel Colville died of wounds received there.
It is significant that Col. Samuel Vance, of Vance’s fort, in (later)Bath county, Va., who was a Revolutionary officer, married, it is said, Sarah Colville. Other accounts state he married a Bird or Warth. He left many prominent descendants through the Warwick family of western Virginia. There is no doubt he was connected in some way with Col. David Vance, Revolutionary officer of North Carolina and a commissioner to establish the N.C. Tennessee boundary, 1799. Col. David Vance was grandfather of Governaor and U.S. Senator Zebulon Baird Vance, of North Carolina. Robert Brank Vance, member of Congress from North Carolina, 1823-1825, and another Robert Brank Vance, brigadier-general C.S.A., were of the same family.[40]

[53]
August 4, 1911: At a conference in New York, the Seventh Day Adventist adopt resolutions condemning the mistreatment of Jews.[54]
August 4, 1912: Birthdate of Raoul Wallenberg, one of the truly great, brave people of history. A Swede, Wallenberg risked his life by going to Hungary in 1944 and literally yanking thousands of Jews from the jaws of death. He disappeared into the hands of the Red Army when it liberated Budapest. Some claim that he passed away in a soviet prison in 1947. But nobody really knows what happened to him other than the fact the world did nothing to save him.[55]
August 4, 1914: Germany invades Belgium which forces Great Britain to declare war on Germany since the British are guarantors of Belgian independence and neutrality. It was the invasion of Belgium that “sealed the deal” and turned the nascent European hostilities into World War I. From the vantage point of the 21st century, we can see so many places where this war might have been avoided and all that flowed from it including the Shoah. In other words, if the Germans had viewed treaties than more than “a scrap of paper” (the way one German leader reportedly described the treaty guaranteeing Belgium’s independence, six million Jews might not have been smoke and ashes.)[56]
August 4-5, 1941: A Jewish Council is established in Kovno (Lithuania) under Elchanan Elkes and told by the German authorities that it is responsible for the transfer of the Jews to the ghetto.[57]
Rothke reports that Darquier de Pellepoix thinks it will be possible to place the 4,115 children in various institutions in Paris and its suburbs. Rothke’s aim is to prevent dispersal of the children in case Berlin accepts Dannecker’s proposal and it becomes possible to begin deporting them, perhaps August 4 or 5. Darquier’s solution is set aside in favor of keeping the children and parents together and moving them to the Pithiviers and Beaune-la-Rolande camps while awaiting Berlins’s decision. Rothke notes that “representatives of the French police have expressed many times the wish to see convoys toward Germany include shildren as well.” Novertheless, if parents and children cannot be deported together because Berlin fails to make an early decition or the children cannot immedieately be accepted to the East, it is understood that the parents will bedeported first. A negative decision on the children’;s deportation isn’t even considered; in the margin of his report Knochen note: “in my opinion [they] can be deported all the same after a decision of the RSHA,” the Main Office for State Security, in Berlin.
The French police representatives, who insistently voice support for deportation of the Jewish children with or without their parents, are led by Leguay, the Vichy police delegate, and the two leading Paris Police Prefecture officials on Jewish matters, Francois and Tulard.
Three considerations weigh in the French police officials’ demand that the children be deported, with their parents or after them.
First, the number of Jews arrested is far short of the German demands accepted by Bousqet and Laval. Between 20,000 and 22,000 arrests were anticipated, but the count of arrested adults in the agreed age ranges yields 8,833 potential deportees. To increase the number, the raids would have to be resumed, though they would be less effective because stateless Jews who escaped arrest would bwe on their guard. The SS expect their schedule for the dispatch of deportation trains to be respected; the French judge it best to give them a suitable number of Jewish heads by adding the 4,000 children. ‘The 13,000 total including the children will still be short of the 22,000 sought, but it will gain time and avert conflict with the Germans. It is clear that if the FGrench insist on deporting the children , the Gestapo will report it and Berlin will know in advance that there will be no official French opposition to the policy.
Second, failure to deport the children would involve the police and the Vichy administration in the material problems of their long term lodging, care and feeding, education, and legal staus. (However, for severlal days, the abomidable treatment of Jewish families in the Vel d’Hiv is proof of the negligence and incompetence of the French officials involved.)
For Leguay, Francois, and Tulard, it is absolutely necessary that the children be deported, If they are not, a problem will be created that will last for years. In addition, if one day the Germans are defeated, these children become adults will ask what has happened to their parents and will demand judgement of the French officials responsible for their disappearance.
The children must be deporteed, and quickly, so that French officials will be involved with them as briefly as possible. In the Loiret camps where the children will be sent, Leguay, Francolis, Tulard, and the Orleans Prefecture all have failed to make preparations for their arrival; nor, in a region that is one of France’s granaries, have they arranged sufficient food for them; nor do they concern themselves with proper hgygiene or health conditions, and many of these 4,000 children very quickly will become ill. Some will find their deaths here in the Loiret within a few weeks and will bhe buried in individual or common graves in local cemeteries. Finally, these officials will deliberately plunge these thousands of children into frightful emotional distress when they separate them from their mothers.
The third consideration that certainly musyt wigh in the French decision is a fear of public knowledge of the coming separation of families. Darquier’s proposal to send the children to shelters in Paris and its suburbs would make it necessary to separate children and parents at the Vel d’Hiv. There are terrible scenes ahead, and it will be less disagreeable to have them played out far away, hidden behind the barbed wire of the Loiret camps. Parisians will have no knowledge of these events, and their compassion for Jewish families will not be reinforced. On returneing home in the evening, Paris policemen will not be talking about the scenes of hysteria they provoke during the day. (When time comes to deport the mothers, French police at the Loiret camps, more or less isolated from the local population, will use their rifle bgutts to separate them from their children and pack them into sealed boxscars. It would be three weeks before boxcars would be sent for the children.)
On July 17, the French police representatives knoweingly and sysytematically sabotage any possibiltity that the children might be saved, including Darquier’s proposal that they be lodged in Paris area children’s homes. Darquier is fanatically anti-Jewish, but he shows more uneasiness at clamoring for the children’;s deportation than the police officials, who, seemingly little touched by anti-Semitic ideaology, surpass even Laval in their cowardice.[58]
August 4, 1942: One thousand Jews were deported from Theresienstadt.[59]
August 4, 1942: In Radom, Poland, 10,000 Jews were assembled for deportation to Treblinka. The Germans began shooting them as they gathered.[60]

August 4, 1942: The first train with Jews from Belgium went to Auschwitz. The train contained 998 Jews. Normally the Germans would wait until they had an even thousand before sending a train from Belgium to Auschwitz. (On April 19, 1943, three Jewish resistance fighters would stop the Twentieth Train with Jews bound for Auschwitz. Several hundred Jews would escape, although many were caught in later round-ups and sent to the camps. This episode teaches us many valuable lesson. One of them is about Jewish courage in the face of almost certain death. Another of them is that history is not made up of events, but of the events we know about. The ambush took place on the same day as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Both knew events of great courage. But we only celebrate the events at Warsaw because that is the one that most people know about)[65]
August 4, 1942: In Warsaw, Chaim Kaplan wrote the last entry in his diary before he was murdered: “If my life ends-what will become of my diary?” Saul Friedlander would see to it that the material covered in the diary would survive the killers and the victims when he would use it as resource material for The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945.[66]
August 4-Semptember 4, 1943: Seven thousand Jews are deported from Vilna to Estonia for forced labor.[67]
August 4, 1944: Anne Frank was arrested with her parents and sister. Anne, 15 years old, was sent to Bergen-Belsen where she died in March 1945.
August 4, 1944: A limited number of Jewish war refugees arrive in New York Harbor. They then moved to a decommissioned army camp in Oswego New York. Ruth Gerber, an American journalist was selected “to go on a secret mission to escort the refugees to the United States. This Journey became “the defining Jewish moment” of Gruber’s life. In her role as a spokesperson for the refugees, Gruber presented the refugees’ journey as a human interest story for the press. She told the New York Times that the refugees represented “a cross-section of every refugee now pouring into Italy,” including Jews, Catholics and Protestant for whom religious services were held onboard the ship. In a touching moment in Haven, her book recounting the voyage, Gruber recalls a rabbi conducting a service as the boat passed the Statue of Liberty, and her pride in telling the Jewish refugees of the Holocaust that the poem on the base was written by Emma Lazarus, an American Jew. The story of these European refugees stands out as a momentary relaxation of America’s restrictive immigration policy. President Roosevelt’s decision provided the refugees with a safe haven as “guests” in the United States during the war, with the assumption that “they were destined to be sent back to their homelands when the peace comes.” While Roosevelt planned to allow the nearly 1000 refugees to reside in the United States only until the end of hostilities, when the end of the war came, Gruber lobbied the President and Congress, with the help of Catholic, Jewish and Protestant clergy, and convinced the officials to let the refugees stay. While the story ended happily for these refugees, sadly it came at the expense of others waiting in displaced persons camps in Europe. Since the overall immigration laws and quotas remained unchanged, the close to 1000 refugees were just subtracted from that years’ quota.[68]
August 4, 1977: Jimmy Carter establishes Department of Energy.[69]
August 4, 2001: the Queen Mother was well enough to make her traditional appearance outside Clarence House on August 4, 2001 to celebrate her 101st birthday.[70]

The Twenty-fourth Iowa was now about to enter upon an entirely new field of warfare, in which but few of the regiments from its own State had been called to serve.

(Point of Rocks) In July, 1864, Lt. Colonal John Mosby, CSA, in support of General Jubal Early’s invasion of Maryland, crossed the Potomac River from Virginia with 250 cavalry and attacked a Union garrison in Point of Rocks.

After a 30 minute exchange of gunfire, the Confederates went back across the Potomac to Virginia.
