December 21, 26,000 years ago… The earth was aligned with the milky way. The earth went through cataclysmic climate changes at the end of the last ice age.
26,000 years ago…
About 26,000 years ago, a sinkhole formed in Hot Springs South Dakota and filled with water from a hot spring, creating a vegetated oasis that lured many young mammoths to their death. In places, the bones haved settled in the posture of the animals desperate struggle to get back up the slick, steep sides of the pond, a foreleg flung up, the back legs splayed out swhere they pawed for traction in the mud below. Altogether parts of 58 mammoths lie exposed in an area about the size of a hockey rink, sheltered beneath a roof built to protect them. Larry Agenbroad, the paleonbtologist who helped discover this site 35 years ago, figures at least as many remain hidden underground. This is one of the world’s largest sites that display the bones where mammoths died, and it has some of the horror and fascination of a slow motion traffic pileup.
In an explanation of what happened 26,000 years ago, some of the Mammoth Site animals died at first snow, according to Agenbroad, and others during an early spring thaw. (Researchers determined the season of death with the help of trace isotopes in different tusks) The ice age winter, Agenbroad says, left mammoths with two choices: “They could sweep off three feet of snow and get last years’s grass, which is about as exciting as a bowl of cerial with no sugar, berries or milk. Or they could go for the salad bar of plants still growing around the edge of the sinkhole, just like bison in Yellowstone ANational Park go for the green grass around thermal pools.”
But the sides of the sinkhole sloped at least 67 degrees, Agenbroad estimates, and the stone, Spearfish Valley red shale, gets as slick as grease when wet. Only males were dumb enough to risk it, he figures, because female mammoths stayed within the shelter of the herd their entire lives, like modern elephants. But adolescent males wnt into exile, and did the sort of imprudent things adolescent males still do today.
24k BC An early representation of a human was carved from mammoth ivory about 26,000 years ago. It was discovered in Brno, Czechoslovakia. The tiny "Venus of Dolni Vestonici," more than 25,000 years old, is the earliest known sculpture of a human figure.

25,500 to 23,500 B.C.E.
There are painted rock slabs in Namibia (South-West Africa) dating from between 25,500 and 23,500 B.C.E.

25,000 years ago
About 25,000 years ago… The I and its various subclade lineages are concentrated in Scandinavia and Croatia, with some traces in the Midedle East, its probable source. These would most likely have been common within Viking populations.
25,000 years ago…
The Cave Bear, a European species died out 25,000 years ago. Males weighed 1,500 pounds, 50 percent more than the largest modern grizzlies. Cave bears had wider heads than today’s bears, and powerful shoulders and forelimvbs. Prehistoric humans painted images of the animals on cave walls and carved their likenesses in fragments of mammoth tusk.
25,000 years ago…
It grew colder than ever. Glaciers covered 2/3 of North America with ice up to a mile deep.
23k BC An ivory head known as the Venus of Brassenpouy named after the site of its recovery in France bears distinct facial features and coiffure. A bird bone flute of similar age is here illustrated.

25,000 to 14,000 years ago…
The modern landscape you now see records the retreat of the last major ice sheet that extended into Illinois from 25,000 to 14,000 years ago. This invasion took place during the most recent or Wisconsinan Glaciation, which geologists estimated extended from 75,000 to 10,000 years B.P. (before present time). During that time, the Laurentide Ice Sheet covered much of Canada and the northern United States. Nurtured by a continental climate colder than today's, the ice sheet grew as snow accumulated and the pressure of its own weight caused it to change to ice and spread outward from its Canadian center.
We tend to think of Illinois as very flat, but bike riders and joggers know that our landscape has many subtle hills, ridges, and long uphill slopes. From a satellite or the space shuttle high abouve the earth, large broad ridges can be seen that arc across northeastern Illinois. These ridges, left behind when the last Ice Ace glaciers melted away are called end moraines; they formed between about 25,000 and 14,000 years ago during the Wisconsin glacial episode. Although these ridges are easy to see from space, they are so broad and rounded you may sometimes overlook them when you drive across Illinois.
Melting at a glacier margin causes the ice to thin, and ground up rock debreis carried in ke deposits of sand and gravel, called outwash plains, were left behind by meltwater tstreames flowing away from the glacier.
25,000 to 13,000 years ago…The land bridge between Siberia and Alaska concided with the last Great Ice Age, when the Land was above sea level between twenty-five and thirteen thousand years ago .
Age Range: 23,000 to 17,000 years ago
Rock Types: gravel, silt
Did You Know? The peak flow of the ice age floods through the Columbia Gorge was 350 million cubic feet per second, 350 times greater than the historic 1948 Columbia River flood that destroyed the city of Vanport.
Toward the end of the last ice age, 15,000 to 20,000 years ago, the massive ice cap that covered the northern hemisphere repeatedly blocked the Clark Fork of the Columbia River in Montana, forming a huge lake behind the ice dam equal to two of today’s Great Lakes. When the dam broke, some of the largest floods known to have occurred on Earth raged across eastern Washington and down the Columbia River to the ocean. Over 40 of these huge floods, called Missoula, Ice Age, or Bretz floods (for J Harlen Bretz, the geologist who identified the floods), scoured the landscape and left behind thick deposits of sand, silt, and gravel along the Columbia River in Umatilla and Morrow counties and in the Willamette and Tualatin valleys. Boulders embedded in the ice were carried in these massive floods and were dropped along the way as the ice melted. These “glacial erratics” include famous rocks like the Willamette Meteorite and the rock at Erratic Rock State Natural Site near Sheridan. Topsoil in Montana, Idaho, and eastern Washington was scoured away by the floods and deposited here, producing the rich agricultural lands of the Willamette Valley and Columbia Basin.
About 14,500 years ago a giant pluvial lake (Lake Bonneville) in Utah flooded north along the Snake River, leaving deposits near Ontario.

22.5k BC On Nov 28, 1998, Portuguese archeologists led by Dr. Joao Zilhao found the skeleton of a young boy (the Lagar Velho child) in the Lapedo Valley, who reportedly exhibited both Neanderthal and Homo sapiens features, the first possible hybrid to be found.

24,000 years ago…
December 21, 69: The Senate acknowledged Vespasian as emperor. This marked the end of the so-called The Year of the Four Emperors during which four individuals - Galba, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian – held the position of imperial leadership. This period of apparent anarchy was very unsettling for the Romans and part of Vespasian’s acceptance as emperor stemmed from the fact that he would be able to provide an imperial heir and stability for the emperor. In Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilizations, Martin Goodman ties the destruction of the Temple to the unsettling events of the Year of the Four Emperors and Vespasian’s determination to prove that he could bring order to the Empire.
December 21, 1118:
Stained glass window of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral.
Becket was born about 1118,[4] or in 1120 according to later tradition.[1] He was born in Cheapside, London, on December 21, which was the feast day of St Thomas the Apostle. He was the son of Gilbert Beket and Gilbert's wife Matilda.[note 2] Gilbert's father was from Thierville in the lordship of Brionne in Normandy, and was either a small landowner or a petty knight.[1] Matilda was also of Norman ancestry,[2] and her family may have originated near Caen. Gilbert was perhaps related to Theobald of Bec, whose family also was from Thierville. Gilbert began his life as a merchant, perhaps as a textile merchant, but by the 1120s he was living in London and was a property-owner, living on the rental income from his properties. He also served as the sheriff of the city at some point.[1] They were buried in Old St Paul's Cathedral.
December 21, 1140: Conrad III of Germany besieged Weinsberg. Seven years later, Conrad would be one of the leaders of the Second Crusade during which the Jews of Mainz, Cologne and Worms were all attacked.
1141: Matilda proclaimed queen at Winchester, Geza II rules Hungary, Matilda captures Stephen at battle of Lincoln and reigns disastrously as queen – driven out by popular uprising and Stephen restored, Matilda's forces take Stephen prisoner, she's named queen, it goes badly, Earl Robert is captured and exchanged for Stephen's freedom.

Empress Matilda (c. February 7, 1102 – September 10, 1167), also known as Matilda of England or Maude, was the daughter and heir of King Henry I of England. Matilda and her younger brother, William Adelin, were the only legitimate children of King Henry to survive to adulthood. However, her brother's death at age 17 in the White Ship disaster on November 25,1120 resulted in Matilda being her father's sole heir.
As a child, Matilda was betrothed to and later married Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, thus becoming Holy Roman Empress. The couple had no known children and after eleven years of marriage Henry died, leaving Matilda widowed. However, she was then married to Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou, in a union which her father hoped would produce a male heir and continue the dynasty. She had three sons by Geoffrey of Anjou, the eldest of whom eventually became King Henry II of England. Upon the death of her father in 1135, the throne was usurped by her cousin, Stephen of Blois, who moved quickly and successfully to claim the throne whilst Matilda was in Normandy, pregnant with her third child.
Their rivalry for the throne led to years of unrest and civil war in England that have been called the Anarchy. Matilda was the first female ruler of the Kingdom of England, though the length of her effective rule was brief: a few months in 1141. She was never crowned and failed to consolidate her rule (legally or politically). For this reason, she is normally excluded from lists of English monarchs, and her rival Stephen is usually listed as monarch for the period 1135–1154. She campaigned unstintingly for her oldest son's inheritance, living to see him ascend the throne of England in 1154.

1770
In 1770, Lawrence Harrison (7th great grandfather) appears in Bedford County, Pennsylvania records, as is evidenced by a bond signed by Alexander Moreland of Hamilton Bann Township, York County, Pennsylvania, who was bound to pay fifteen pounds currency to Lawrence Harrison.
1770
The first permanent white inhabitant was Colonel William Crawford, a personal friend and land-partner of George Washington. He was the father of two girls, Effie and Ann. The former married William McCormick, (husband of the 5th great grandaunt)who came here from Winchester, VA.,in 1770. He was the first white settler in Connellsville.
Zachariah Connell (brother in law of the half 5th great grandaunt) came here a few years later.

1770
On pages 58 to 74 of the Fayette County History it lists among persons attending a meeting at the Gist Place: “Lawrence and Richard Harrison.” The following was said regarding Lawrence: “Lawrence Harrison had treated our government with too much disrespect.” This verifies that Richard Harrison was in Pennsylvania with brother, Lawrence.
Also on page 58 it emphasized the remoteness of this settlement in that “In the settlements of these places (the valley of the Redstone, Turkey Foot and the Valley of the Youghiogheny) with that at Pittsburgh, were embraced nearly all the white inhabitants of Pennsylvania west of the Alleghenies until about the year 1770.”
1770 - Benjamin Harrison (5th great granduncle) settled on the Youghiogheny River in what is now Franklin Township, Fayette County, Penn. (See items dated February 4, 1780 and August 11, 1785)
The first settler within the limits of the present borough of Connellsville was William McCormick, who came here from near Winchester, Va., about the year 1770. He had a number of pack horses, and with them was engaged in the transportation of salt, iron, and other goods from Cumberland, Md., to the Youghiogheny and Monongahela Rivers. His wife was Effie Crawford, a daughter of Col. William Crawford, who had settled on the left bank of the Youghiogheny near the northern boundary of the present borough of New Haven. McCormick settled on the other side of the river, directly opposite the house of his father in law. His first residence there was a log house, which he built on the river bank. It is still standing on land owned by the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad Company. In this he lived many years, and then removed to a double cabin which he built on the site below the stone house on the Davidson farm. Afterwards he built a large log house where is no the stone house built by John Boyd, who purchased the McCormick property in 1831.
William McCormick died in 1816, aged about seventy four years. He had eleven children, four of whom removed to Adams County, Ohio, and two to Indiana. Provance McCormick, a grandson of William, now the oldest living native of Connellsville, was born in te above mentioned double cabin of his grandfather, July 29, 1799. He learned two trades, shoemaker and carpenter. He married about 1818, and for two years lived on his ggrandfather’s place. In 1825 he bought an acre of land, and built on it the house now owned by William White. In this he lived until 1853.
Zachariah Connell, the founder of the town of Connellsville, came here a few years later than the settlement of William McCormick, whose brother in law he was, having married Mrs. McCormick’s sister, Ann Crawford. He came to this section of country soon after 1770, and stopped at the house of his future father in law, Capt. (afterwards Colonel) William Crawford.

1770: Mary Ann Godlove, born about 1770, is in the 1840 U. S. Census for Hardy County (age 60-70). She fits the oldest of the age categories for females in Francis household in the 1810 census (age 26-45, born 1765-1784) and 1820 (age 45 or above, born before 1775). In 1830, the oldest female in Francis household was aged 60-70 (born 1760-1770). Mary Ann possibly was Francis second wife: she was about twenty-two years older than any of Francis children living at home in 1810, but she was too young to be the mother of John and probably too young to be the mother of Conrad.

Early 1770
The Isle of Skye, off the coast of Scotland produces men who place duty before personal inclinations.
Such a man was Lord Michael McKinnon, native of the island. He trained his children to adhere to their ideas and sacrifice everything to duty. Early in 1770 two of his sons, Daniel and Joseph, came to America. Daniel, a high Episcopal preacher to George IV of England, was sent by the crown to the church at Philadelphia.
He was a man of decided opinions and did not fit in well with the growing tendency in the colonies to question the crown's authority. He was a staunch royalist and preached his convictions from the pulpit. His belief, however, did not prevent his marriage to Miss Polly Dawson, a lovely colonial girl, who was a member of an ardent Whig family.

Killing one-third of the population of Bengal over a five-year period, the Bengal Famine of 1770 took place between 1969 and 1773 in what is now parts of Bangladesh. An estimated 15 million perished in the famine, which was blamed on greedy principles from the British East India Company's rule.

Between 1772 and 1795 the entire territory of the Kingdom of Poland was divided between Prussia, Austria and Russia. During those so-called Partitions of Poland, Prussia acquired the western regions of Poland, esp. those, which were later renamed to West Prussia (formerly Royal Prussia) and Province of Posen (the area around Poznan, the Polish name being Wielkopolska, i.e. Greater Poland). The southern Polish territories around Kraków and Lwów were incorporated into the Austrian Empire and renamed "Galicia". The central and eastern provinces of Poland were taken over by the Russian Empire. Only during a short period when Napoleon Bonaparte conquered Central Europe, he restored Poland as a Duchy of Warsaw, dependent on himself, consisting of the territories Prussia and Austria had annexed in 1793-95.

During the 18th century Enlightenment, philosophers such as Charles Francois Dupuis in his ‘Origine de Tous les Cultges, ou la Religion Universelle, published in 1795, began to explore the notion of Jesus as a purely mythical construct, since there seemed to be little historical record left to corroborate the few details provided in the New Testament.

Soviet Famine of 1932-–33
Affecting the top grain-producing areas of the Soviet Union over several months, the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 is remembered by some as the Holodomor, a term that translates to "hungry mass death." Between seven and 10 million were killed in the area, which is now part of the Ukraine and Siberia, among other areas.

1940: Human Experiments
It is only in recent years that it has come to light that "medical" experiments on humans were also performed in psychiatric institutions. To this date little is known of these experiments. It is also still unclear what the purpose of the I.G. Farben laboratories were, which were installed in many psychiatric institutions.
At the beginning of the 1990s, G. Schaltenbrand's experiments were discussed again. In 1940, in the Werneck psychiatric hospital, he had injected chronic mentally ill patients intradernally and cisternally with spinal fluid from apes, the latter having been previously injected with spinal fluid from multiple sclerosis patients.
Werneck is the hometown of Francis Gottlob. The Castle was turned into a psychiatric hospital.
Thus Werneck is one of the oldest psychiatric hospitals of Germany. In 1940 approximately 800 patients of the welfare and institute for care became the unfortunate recipients of “euthanasia” - actions of the NS and murdered at that time.

"All hands have behaved splendidly and held up in a manner of which the Marine Corps may well tell."
Major Paul Putnam, December 21, 1941
Along with Guam, Wake Island was one of the key American outposts in the central Pacific, a vital part of the supply line between Hawaii and the Philippines. A small atoll 2300 miles west by southwest of Hawaii, Wake was one of the first objectives of Japan's military planners. Located just outside the Japanese Mandate Islands - including Truk, the Marianas and Marshall islands, and Palau - Wake was within striking range of Japanese bombers based on Kwajalein to the south. Flat, and with few natural defenses, the island presented an easy target for invasion.
While Enterprise was only tangentially involved in the battles for Wake Island, the story has an important place in her history. Days before Pearl Harbor, Enterprise had delivered the Marine pilots and planes of squadron VMF-211, who played a vital role in the island's defense. The incredible courage of the island's defenders deserves to be remembered.
Just hours after the last Zero had left the skies over Pearl Harbor, 34 Japanese bombers swept out of the rain and fog over Wake Island, blasting and strafing the airfield, fuel storage tanks and other facilities on the atoll. Composed of three small islands - Peale, Wilkes, and the main island Wake - the atoll was home to 450 Marines and sailors, as well as nearly 1500 civilians, including employees of Pan Am, which operated a hotel and seaplane station as part of its Philippine Clipper service.
Posters such as this one, by artist Arbin Henning, graphically illustrated the desperate struggles taking place on America's Pacific outposts.
Aided by the weather, the attackers enjoyed nearly complete surprise, killing 52, including 18 Marines, and destroying 7 of the precious Grumman F4F Wildcat fighters which Enterprise had delivered to the island just a week before. After the strike, the wounded and a few lucky others were loaded on the Martin 130 flying boat docked at the island, and evacuated to Hawaii. The Marines and others remaining on the island braced for the next attack, and for the arrival of an enemy cruiser and destroyer force the Clipper pilot had sighted over the horizon.
By December 21, eleven days after the Wake Island Marines had repelled the first assault on the atoll, Fletcher and Saratoga were still 600 miles from Wake. The Japanese were much closer, and in much greater force. A day earlier, Admiral Kajioka had sortied from Kwajalein with a second assault force, this time reinforced with four heavy cruisers. In the north, the carriers Soryu and Hiryu were detached from the Pearl Harbor strike force, their planes pouncing on Wake on December 21. Wake's last two Marine Wildcats scrambled into the air, and though badly outnumbered managed to down a Zero before being forced down themselves. But Wake was now bereft of air defense, and the promised relief mission nowhere in sight: in fact, at the time of the raid, Fletcher's force was refueling and, due to heavy seas, sailing away from Wake.
On receiving word of the carrier-based raid, Pye's resolve began to weaken. Fearing that Saratoga and Lexington were sailing into a trap, and not knowing the disposition of Japan's carriers, he ordered both task forces not to approach closer than 200 miles to Wake. Tangier, instead of landing reinforcements and supplies on Wake, was ordered to evacuate the atoll. The same day, however, Pye also lifted restrictions on Lexington's and Enterprise's operating areas, in hopes they could more effectively support Fletcher.
But, it was too little, too late. Under cover of night, Kajioka's force had approached close to the island, and before daybreak on the 23rd commenced landing the 1000-strong Maizuru 2nd Special Naval Landing Force. On Wilkes island, 70 Marines, armed with little more than vintage 1903 Springfield bolt-action rifles and hand grenades, set one transport on fire, and trapped the landing Japanese on the beach. Four hours later, that landing had been defeated, but on Wake island, two hundred Marines faced hundreds of Imperial Marines. The atoll commander, Commander Winfield Scott Cunningham, radioed his superiors in Hawaii: "ENEMY ON ISLAND ISSUE IN DOUBT". (Not quite two years later, the last three words would return to chill Nimitz and his command, when they were radioed from the beaches of Tarawa.)
The Pacific command's response left Cunningham and Marine commander, Major James Devereux, with few options. The nearest American carrier, Fletcher's Saratoga, was still a day away. Tangier, the relief ship, was even further off. A half hour later, Wake surrendered. At nearly the same time, Pye, reasoning that "Wake is a liability" ordered the relief forces to turn back.
The Consequences
The fall of Wake was a tremendous blow to American morale, not to mention that of the Navy's. When Pye's orders to withdraw reached Saratoga, an enraged Fletcher finally had to leave the bridge, where the talk had grown "mutinous". Aboard Enterprise, the crew struggled through two somber Christmas Eves (due to crossing the International Date Line), as men contemplated the fate of the Marine airmen they'd delivered to Wake just a few weeks before. What made the loss more bitter was the perception - perhaps accurate - that Wake's loss was unnecessary.
Holding Wake indefinitely may have been untenable, due to the land- and carrier-based airpower Japan could bring to bear. What seems more likely is that a more vigorous and concerted effort on the U.S. Navy's part could have saved the Marines and civilians on Wake. However, not possessing the benefit of hindsight, Pye could not justify risking his precious carriers - the only effective Navy surface forces in the Pacific - on a relief mission, in the face of possibly overwhelming enemy forces. Years after the war, the Marine commander James Devereux seemed to concur with Pye's decision: "I think it was wise ... to pull back."

Joseph LeClere- Bodyguard of Napoleon

Can anybody help me find the name of the cavalry (horse) regiment which was bodyguard to Napoleon in 1799 in Austria? My ancestor Joseph was one of the few to survive the defeat of this regiment when it was sent forward and cut off by the Austrians in December 1799. The name of the regiment is needed if I am to locate his military records. All help is much appreciated.
