563: The early MacKINNON clan seems to have had a close connection with the abbacy on the small Inner Hebridean island of Iona. The abbacy of Iona was first founded in 563 by Saint Columba, and many following abbots were selected from his kindred (Cenel Conaill: descendants of Conall Gulban, who was Columba's great-grandfather and the founder of Tír Conaill).[9] Moncreiffe speculated that the Mackinnons were also of this kindred, and noted their Coat of Arms bore the hand of the saint holding the Cross.[9][5][6]

THE BIRTH OF THE YIDDISH LANGUAGE Somewhere in the eleventh century we find the origins of the language, Yiddish, which would become the lingua franca of Ashkenazi Jewry over the next seven or eight hundred years. It was formed out of the meeting between old French and old Italian dialects spoken by the local Jewish communities and medieval German which became dominant in the communities spread out along the Rhine river. The new language with its admixture of Hebrew words especially in the spheres of learning and ritual would soon become dominant in the Jewish communities of west and central Europe.[9]

Caffeinated 'Vomit Drink' Nauseated North America's First City
LiveScience.comBy Charles Choi, LiveScience Contributor | LiveScience.com – 23 hrs ago

•The pre-Columbian settlement at Cahokia was the largest city in North America north of Mexico, with as many as 50,000 people living there at its peak.
The pre-Columbian settlement at …
Caffeine-loaded black drinks apparently dominated the heartland of America earlier than once thought — a beverage neither coffee nor cola, but instead brewed from holly leaves, researchers say.
The ancient people may have downed the brew before ritual vomiting as part of purification ceremonies, the scientists added.
The discovery was made after investigating artifacts from Cahokia, "North America's first city," researcher Thomas Emerson, the director of the Illinois State Archaeological Survey, told LiveScience.
Cahokia existed near the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers from about 1050 to 1350 in what is now in St. Louis, East St. Louis and the surrounding five counties, and inspired short-lived settlements as far away as Wisconsin. The core of this society, Greater Cahokia, had as many as 50,000 residents in its heyday living amidst earthen mounds, some more than 100 feet (30 meters) in height, making it the largest prehistoric North American settlement north of Mexico.
Even after decades of research, archaeologists are at a loss to explain the sudden emergence of Greater Cahokia and its rapid decline, but its influences on art, religion and architecture are seen as far away as Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Wisconsin, Emerson said.
Brew beakers
Archaeologist Patricia Crown at the University of New Mexico and chemist Jeffrey Hurst at the Hershey Technical Center in Pennsylvania analyzed plant residues in eight mug-shaped pottery beakers from Greater Cahokia and its surroundings. They found signs they once held "black drink," a caffeinated brew made from the toasted leaves of the Yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria) that grew more than 300 miles (480 kilometers) to the south.
"We're not sure when Native Americans stopped using black drink," Emerson said. "I think its use went more into the closet, due to pressure from Europeans to drop pagan practices."
For many tribes of Native Americans, the black drink was a key component of purification rituals before war parties, religious ceremonies, important political councils or other important events. Rapid consumption of large quantities of the hot drink preceded ritual vomiting as part of the purification rituals. People in South America continue to make drinks from varieties of holly, such as yerba maté and té o' maté, albeit in more relaxed contexts. [Top 10 Extreme Religious Sects]
"It's always described by Europeans and people who have consumed it as something tasting like tea," Emerson said.
Cahokia trade
The presence of Cahokia biochemicals — such as theobromine, caffeine and ursolic acid — in the black drink suggests the people had a substantial trade network with the southeast. Other artifacts suggested Cahokia also traded with groups ranging from the Gulf Coast to the eastern plains and the Great Lakes, such as marine shells and shark teeth.
"I would argue that it was the first pan-Indian city in North America, because there are both widespread contacts and emigrants," Emerson said. "The evidence from artifacts indicates that people from a broad region, what is now the Midwest and southeast U.S., were in contact with Cahokia. This is a level of population density, a level of political organization that has not been seen before in North America."
How this early city held together for as long as it did has remained a mystery.
"People have said, well, how would you integrate this?" Emerson said. "One of the obvious ways is through religion." [8 Ways Religion Impacts Your Life]
The black drink was used in Cahokia at the same time a series of sophisticated figurines representing the underworld, agricultural fertility and life-renewal were carved from local pipestone. Most of these statuettes were linked with temple sites.
"We postulate that this new pattern of agricultural religious symbolism is tied to the rise of Cahokia, and now we have black drink to wash it down with," Emerson said.
Religious symbolism
The beakers appear ceremonial themselves. Many of these single-serving unglazed pots, which possess a handle on one side and a tiny lip on the other, are carved with symbols representing water and the underworld and are reminiscent of the whelk shells used in black drink ceremonies seen centuries later in the southeast, where the Yaupon holly grows.
"We think one way to connect all these people is through fertility and life-renewal symbolism and religion, and the presence of black drink ceremonial items out even in rural farms and small villages outside Cahokia more or less supports that idea," Emerson said.
The beakers date from 1050 to 1250, the earliest known use of black drink by at least 500 years.
"This finding brings to us a whole wide spectrum of religious and symbolic behavior at Cahokia that we could only speculate about in the past," Emerson said. "Cahokia may have been the birthplace of many of the political, social, and religious concepts that typified the societies of the southeast between 1100 and 1600 A.D. The presence of black drink supports the idea that North America's first city was of critical importance in the future development of native societies in the eastern woodlands of the United States.
"Tracing the geographical spread and history of black drink will be a challenge," Emerson added. "We have established its use at 1050 A.D. in Cahokia, but other archaeologists have speculated that it may have been in use as early as the time of Christ. Now that we have found it 300 miles outside of its native range, it means that we cannot automatically assume it was not exported to many areas. The testing of vessels across much of the eastern U.S. will be a slow and time-consuming job."
The scientists detailed their findings online Aug. 6 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.[18]

February 12, 1111: Having entered Rome and sworn the usual oaths, the king presented himself at St. Peter's Basilica on February 12, 1111 for his coronation and the ratification of the treaty. The words commanding the clergy to restore the fiefs of the crown to Henry were read amid a tumult of indignation, whereupon the pope refused to crown the king, who in return declined to hand over his renunciation of the right of investiture.[12] Paschal and sixteen cardinals were seized by Henry's soldiers.ref>Bryce, pg. 306 In the general disorder that followed, an attempt to liberate the pontiff was thwarted in a struggle during which the king was wounded. A Norman army sent by Prince Robert I of Capua to rescue the papists was turned back by the imperialist count of Tusculum, Ptolemy I of Tusculum.

February 12 1542: The night (February 12) before her execution, Catherine Howard is believed to have spent many hours practising how to lay her head upon the block, which had been brought to her at her request.[16] She died with relative composure, but looked pale and terrified and required assistance to climb the scaffold. She made a speech describing her punishment as "worthy and just" and asked for mercy for her family and prayers for her soul. According to popular folklore, her final words were, "I die a Queen, but I would rather have died the wife of Culpeper," although this is widely discredited. Catherine was beheaded with a single stroke, as was Jane Boleyn, Lady Rochford, immediately thereafter. Both their bodies were buried in an unmarked grave in the nearby chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula, where the bodies of Catherine's cousins, Anne and George Boleyn, also lay.[17] Henry did not attend.
Catherine's body was not one of those identified during restorations of the chapel during Queen Victoria's reign, It is likely her remains deteriorated quirky due to her youth (young bones are laxer and more cartilaginous and so crumble more swiftly).Read more: http://www.theanneboleynfiles.com/anne-boleyns-remains-the-exhumation-of-anne-boleyn/#ixzz2cFTqRhRN She however is commemorated on a plaque on the west wall dedicated to all those who died in the Tower.[18]
Upon hearing news of Catherine's execution, Francis I of France wrote a letter to Henry, regretting the "lewd and naughty [evil] behaviour of the Queen" and advising him that "the lightness of women cannot bend the honour of men".[19][22]

To BURWELL BASSETT[39]
Mount Vernon, February 12, 1774.
Dear Sir: I find there will go some matters from this country, whichwill make my attendance at the Assembly necessary; this I cannot possibly do and go over the Mountains this Spring.
I have therefore determined, much against my Inclination & Interest, to postpone my Trip to the Ohio till after Harvest (as I cannot well be absent from home at that Season.) As March therefore (at least the first of it) is a disagreeable Season to travel our Roads In, and as I am obliged [illegible] to run land about the 20th of the month of March, and from thence proceed into Frederick and Berkeley I hope it will be agreeable and convenient to Mrs. Bassett and you give us the pleasure of seeing you here after that time; the Roads and Weather will be then good: our Fisheries will be then come on, and I think you will have more satisfaction than in an earlier visit.
The Letter herewith Inclosed for Mr. Dandridge[40] contains Black’s Bond which Mr. Wythe has advised me to lodge in some safe hands to be tendered to that pritty Gentleman upon his complying with the Conditions of it. As the care of it is a thing of the utmost Importance, I should be obliged to you (if Captn. Crawford should not go to Mr. Dandridge’s himself) to send the letter by Abram, or some careful Person, least the Bond should get lost.
As I am very much hurried just now, by business of different kinds, and as I presume my Wife has informed Mrs. Bassett of Jack’s Marriage, and all the other little occurrences she can think of, I shall only request you to make my effecte. Complements to her, and the rest of the Family, and believe me to be with great truth.[41]
February 12, 1776: From Norfolk, Virginia, Royal Governor John Murray, 4th Earl of Dunmore, dispatches a note to William Legge, 2nd Earl of Dartmouth, expressing his "inexpressible mortification" that British Major General Sir Henry Clinton had been ordered to the "insignificant province of North Carolina to the neglect of this the richest and powerfully important province in America." Dunmore was facing expulsion from Virginia at the hands of the Patriots and was deeply insulted that the army chose to defend its claims to the less significant colony of North Carolina instead of the economically and politically vital colony of Virginia. General Clinton departed New York on February 12. [42]
February 12, 1777: In a letter from Col. William Crawford to George Washington, dated February 12, 1777, he tells of his brother, Valentine's death as well as his half-brother, Hugh Stephenson. Crawford writes "I suppose by this time you may have heard of all my misfortunes. The loss of Hugh Stephenson and Valentine Crawford, who died the 7th of last month at Bullskin without any will, is very hard on me."
o. 31.—William CRAWFORD TO George WASHINGTON.
FREDERICKTOWN, MARYLAND, February 12, 1777.
Sir:—I am sorry to break in upon your hours that ought to rest you from the many fatigues you have to undergo in that important task you have undertaken in defense of our liberties; but necessity obliges me under my present difficulties. I should have been with you, Sir, before now, but for the following reasons:
There is great probability of, an Indian war, for many evident reasons given by the Indians through the course of ]ast summer. They have killed many of our people on the frontiers ; and since the last treaty at Fort Pitt one thing of consequence has happened: the people of Kentucky petitioned the Assembly of Virginia for four hundred and fifty pounds of powder to be sent to them, which was put into the charge of some men to be taken there. On the way, the men went ashore, below the mouth of Soioto, and were fired on, and five out of seven killed. Two made their escape to the mouth of Kanawha. All the ammunition fell into their hands. [43] Many reasons we have to expect a war this spring. The chief of the lower settlements upon the Ohio, has moved off; and should both the regiments [44] now be moved away it will greatly distress the people, as the last raiscd by myself was expected to be a guard for them if there was an Indian war. By the Governor of Virginia, I was appointed to command that regiment, at the request of the people. The conditions were that the soldiers were enlisted during the war; and if an Indian war should come on this spring, they were to be continued there; as their interest was on the spot; but if there should be no Indian war in that quarter, then they were to go wherever called. On these conditions many cheerfully enlisted. The regiment, I believe, by this time, is nearly made up, as five hundred and odd were made up before I came away, and the officers were recruiting very fast; but should they be ordered away before they get blankets and other necessaries, I do not see how they are to be moved; besides, the inhabitants will be In great fear under the present circumstances. Many men have already been taken from that region, so that, if that regiment should march away, it will leave few or none to defend the country. There are no arms, as the chief part of the first men[45],were armed there, which has left the place very bare; but let me be ordered any where and I will go if possible.
I suppose by this time you may have heard of all my misfortunes. The loss of Hugh Stephenson [46] and Valentine Crawford[47], who died the 7th of last month at Bullskin[48] without any will, is very hard on me, as the affairs of the latter and mine are so blended together that no man can settle them but myself; aud should I be cut off before they are settled it would ruin his children and mine. If I can have some little time to administer and settle the estate, I can then appoint aman to act for me, and then I am ready to obey your commands.
By the death of Valentine Crawford, the whole management of Colonel Hugh Stephenson’s estate falls on me; as he was the only one that administered on his estate. It now lies on me; and nothing is done yet in either estate, and both going to waste. I am now going to the Congress to see how my regiment is to be armed, and to get necessaries. I expect to return immediately over the mountain. Should you have any orders there, you may write by next express who is to see me. Anything I can do you may command me. Excuse haste, as the express is now waiting. That you may ever be fortunate is the daily wish and prayer of your most humble and obedient servant.[49]
February 12, 1777
The “West Augusta Regiment”, designated as the Thirteenth Virginia, was afterwards raised, principally by Col. Crawford’s efforts, in the same region of country in which his first regiment had been recruited. Of this last regiement he was made colonel. An extract form a letter written by him Gen. Washington above on February 12, 1777 [50] references the two Virginia regiments raised in the valleys of the Youghiogheny and Monongahela.
By the above letter is shown the rather remarkable fact that by the early part of 1777 the Youghiogheny and Monongahela region of country had furnished two regiments[51] to the quota of Virginia (besides eight full companies to the Pennsylvania Line, as will be noticed below), and that the men of the first regiment raised here had been almost completely armed before marching to join the army. Crawford’s last regiment, the Thirteen Virginia, performed its service in the West, being stationed in detachments at Fort Pitt, Fort McIntosh, and other points on the Ohio and Allegheny Rivers. No list of its officers and men has been found.
February 12th, 1780: At daybreak all the troops disembarked without the guns (except the four amusettes of the light infantry, which the men themselves had to remove) or any of the baggage, not even a horse for the Commander in Chief. He informed all the officers, in the most polite manner, to look after their most necessary equipment as soon as possible. Hence, no officer had any more with him than what his servant could carry in his hands.
Toward ten o’clock the troops set out through a pathless and marshy wood, which continued with the greatest difficulty until five o’clock in the evening. A path often had to be cut through the bushes with axes and bayonets in water up to the waist.[52]
February 12, 1781: Benjamin Harrison was commissioned Captain in the 13th Virginia Regiment, Regiment designated as 9th Virginia., September 14, 1778. He was in service in 1780 and retired February 12, 1781 with rank of Major. Awarded 4,000 acres. [53]
February 12, 1791:
Early History
The Residence Act of July 16, 1790, as amended March 3, 1791, authorized President George Washington to select a 100-square-mile site for the national capital on the Potomac River between Alexandria, Virginia, and Williamsport, Maryland. President Washington selected the southernmost location within these limits, so that the capital would include all of present-day Old Town Alexandria, then one of the four busiest ports in the country. Acting on instructions from Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, Major Andrew Ellicott began surveying the ten-mile square on February 12, 1791.
Ellicott, a prominent professional surveyor, hired Benjamin Banneker, an astronomer and mathematician from Maryland, to make the astronomical observations and calculations necessary to establish the south corner of the square at Jones Point in Alexandria. According to legend, "Banneker fixed the position of the first stone by lying on his back to find the exact starting point for the survey ... and plotting six stars as they crossed his spot at a particular time of night." From there, Ellicott's team embarked on a 40-mile journey, surveying ten-mile lines first to the northwest, then the northeast, next southeast, and finally southwest back to the starting point, clearing twenty feet of land on each side of the boundary.
The Alexandria Masonic Lodge placed a stone at the south corner on April 15, 1791, in ceremonies attended by Ellicott, federal district commissioners Daniel Carroll and David Stuart, and other dignitaries. Other stones, made of Aquia Creek sandstone, were placed at one-mile intervals along the boundaries, resulting in 40 stones total. On each stone, the side facing the District of Columbia displayed the inscription "Jurisdiction of the United States" and a mile number. The opposite side said either "Virginia" or "Maryland," as appropriate. The third and fourth sides displayed the year in which the stone was placed (1791 for the 14 Virginia stones and 1792 for the 26 Maryland stones) and the magnetic compass variance at that place. Stones along the northwest Maryland boundary also displayed the number of miles they fell from NW4, the first stone placed in Maryland. Stones placed at intervals of more than a mile included that extra distance measured in poles.
The boundary stones are the oldest federal monuments. Although several boundary stones have been moved or severely damaged, 35 original stones and 2 substitute stones, SW2 and SE8, are in or near their original locations, including all 14 in the land that was returned to Virginia in the 1846-1847 retrocession. Two (SE4 and SE6) are in storage and the 40th (NE1) is marked by a plaque. This site describes the locations of the stones as of 2011, updating the information provided by the Daughters of the American Revolution (1976) and the National Register of Historic Places (1996).

Growing Public Interest
After Ellicott's team, the next to survey the stones was Marcus Baker, who visited each stone's location during the summer of 1894. Baker reported his survey to the Columbia Historical Society. Following Baker, Fred E. Woodward photographed 39 of the boundary stones--all but SW2, which had been lost even before Baker's survey--starting in 1906. In his reports to the Columbia Historical Society (in 1907, 1908, and 1915) and in public presentations, Woodward described the extent to which the stones had deteriorated and proposed that they be protected for the enjoyment of future generations. Ernest A. Shuster, Jr. followed in Woodwards's footsteps soon after with his own impressive photo collection and article.
In 1915, the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), citing Woodward's work, voluntarily assumed the responsibility of protecting the stones by erecting a tall iron fence around each one. For decades afterward, DAR members visited the stones periodically to perform routine maintenance. Despite DAR's care and attention, however, many of the stones fell on hard times during the mid-1900s. Several were repositioned, removed, lost, or buried during construction projects.
Subsequent Restoration Efforts
In 1978, Kevin Wood of Boy Scout Troop 98 led a service project that visited most of the stones to clean up the sites and repaint the fences. As Mr. Wood explained in 2012,
"It was a fun project which we did over three or four days, All the Virginia ones one day, All Anacostia another. And I am pretty sure we did the top half of the city over two days. The green paint came from the DC parks department; my dad called them and set it up. An older parks employee came by the house one day with the paint and he and I drove around the city, to show me where the stones were. He seemed to be pretty enthusiastic about it, he showed me Southeast 9 and the one in Kenilworth Gardens. I am pretty sure he even took me across the bridge to the one at the southern tip of DC, but not the VA ones. So we sort of had permission to do the ones in DC. In VA we hadn't contacted anybody. If the stone was in a public place or a park, VA fences got a coat of green DC paint too. In some cases the stones, in VA, DC and MD were on lawns and cared for and we didn't do anything. We always rang the doorbells and talked to the people and asked if they wanted us to paint the fences. I think they always or almost always said no. Usually they had them painted black. Sometimes we clipped the weeds ad the hedges on private property, I think we did this for one on Eastern Avenue inside of a chan link fence surrounded by hedges. The only stone we didn't actually get to see was one in a backyard in VA, the first or second on the northern stretch. The woman of the house was very firm about not allowing us to see it."
In 1990 and 1991, a resurveying team led by David Doyle to celebrate the District's bicentennial located two of the then-missing stones, SE8 (which already had been lost once before and replaced with a replica) and SE4. Next, in September 1995, the Northern Virginia Boundary Stones Committee (NOVABOSTCO), under the leadership of chairman Ric Terman, issued a 77-page report on the status of the fourteen stones in Virginia. NOVABOSTCO's successor, the Nation's Capital Boundary Stones Committee (NACABOSTCO), has worked since 2000 to ensure the preservation and appreciation of all of the stones, partnering with DAR, the American Society of Civil Engineers - National Capital Section (ASCE-NCS), the District of Columbia Association of Land Surveyers, and other government agencies, historical societies, and professional associations. ASCE-NCS leads a biannual restoration project that picks up where Troop 98 left off in 1978. [54]
February 12, 1793: Congress enacts a Fugitive Slave Act, allowing a slaveowner to recover a runaway.[55] The first fugitive slave law, required all states, including those that forbid slavery, to forcibly return slaves who have escaped from other states to their original owners. The laws stated that "no person held to service of labor in one state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such labor or service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due."
As Northern states abolished slavery, most relaxed enforcement of the 1793 law, and many passed laws ensuring fugitive slaves a jury trial. Several Northern states even enacted measures prohibiting state officials from aiding in the capture of runaway slaves or from jailing the fugitives. This disregard of the first fugitive slave law enraged Southern states and led to the passage of a second fugitive slave law as part of the Compromise of 1850 between the North and South.
The second fugitive slave law called for the return of slaves "on pain of heavy penalty" but permitted a jury trial under the condition that fugitives be prohibited from testifying in their own defense. Notable fugitive slave trials, such as the Dred Scott case of 1857, stirred up public opinion on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line. Meanwhile, fugitive slaves circumvented the law through the "Underground Railroad," which was a network of persons, primarily free African Americans, who helped fugitives escape to freedom in the Northern states or Canada.[56]
February 12, 1804: King George’s mind was again affected. When he recovered, he found himself in the midst of a ministerial crisis. Public feeling allowed but one opinion to prevail in the country -- that Pitt, not Addington, was the proper man to conduct the administration in time of war. Pitt was anxious to form an administration on a broad basis, including Fox and all prominent leaders of both parties. The king would not hear of the admission of Fox. His dislike of him was personal as well as political, as he knew that Fox had had a great share in drawing the prince of Wales into a life of profligacy. Pitt accepted the king's terms, and formed an administration in which he was the only man of real ability. Eminent men, such as Lord Grenville, refused to join a ministry from which the king had excluded a great statesman on purely personal grounds.[57]
February 12, 1809: Abraham Lincoln, U.S. President Born: February 12, 1809 Birthplace: Near Hodgenville, Kentucky. Abraham Lincoln's birthday, February 12, was never a national holiday, but it was observed by 30 states.[227] In 1971, Presidents Day became a national holiday, combining Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, and replacing most states' celebration of his birthday.[237] As of 2005, Lincoln's Birthday is a legal holiday in 10 states.[238] The Abraham Lincoln Association was formed in 1908 to commemorate the centennial of Lincoln's birth.[239] The Association is now the oldest group dedicated to the study of Lincoln.[240] Abraham Lincoln was born on Sunday, February 12, 1809, in a log cabin on his father's farm in what was at that time Larue County (today Hardin County) Kentucky. His parents were Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lincoln. He had an older sister, Sarah.
Abraham Lincoln, born February 12, 1809 in family home, Sinking Spring Farm, near Hodgenville, Hardin Co. (now Larue), KY1; died April 15, 1865 in Small Narrow Room At Rear,1stFloor, Wm Petersen Lodging House,10thSt.,Wash.,DC 7:22am2. He was the son of 2. Thomas Lincoln and 3. Nancy Hanks. He married (1) Mary Ann Todd November 04, 1842 in the Edwards' "mansion," "Aristocracy Hill," Springfield, Sangamon Co., IL3. She was the daughter of Robert Smith Todd and Eliza Ann Parker.
Notes for Abraham Lincoln: Born on a Sunday. It was a KY winter's day, apparently not excessively cold, as on Monday, the next day, the county court in Hardin County met, many travelers were on the road, and there was no postponements of cases because of inclement weather. [58]

Like many other historic Lincoln sites, this one probably doesn't match the picture in your imagination. When you arrive on the grounds, you see not a log cabin but a neoclassical granite and marble structure -- a sort of Greek temple in the Kentucky woods. Fifty-six steps, symbolizing one for each year of Lincoln's life, lead to the huge double front doors. Designed by architect John Russell Pope, the building was constructed between 1909 and 1911 by the Lincoln Farm Association and deeded to the U.S. government in 1916. President Woodrow Wilson acknowledged the gift in an acceptance speech on Labor Day, 1916.

A reconstructed cabin stands inside this memorial building but is not the original. Some oak and chestnut[63] logs are believed to be of the period. Nevertheless, the one-room cabin does reflect Lincoln's humble beginnings. It measures about 13x17 feet, which may be smaller than the original, thought to be 16 x 18 feet. It includes one door and window, a stone fireplace, and dirt floor.
Beside the entrance to the memorial building is inscribed, "Here over the log cabin where Abraham Lincoln was born, destined to preserve the Union and free the slave, a grateful people have dedicated this memorial to unity, peace, and brotherhood among the states."
President Theodore Roosevelt, a well-known Lincoln admirer, spoke when the cornerstone was laid on February 12, 1909, the centennial of Lincoln's birth. President William Howard Taft dedicated the completed building on November 9, 1911. The memorial building and farm, managed by the National Park Service, became a national park in 1916. You can read the fascinating story of the park's history in Merrill Peterson's book, Lincoln in American Memory.
A few months before Lincoln was born his parents and sister moved from nearby Elizabethtown to the property, known as Sinking Spring Farm. His father paid $200 for 348 acres of stony ground on the south fork of Nolin Creek. The farm's name came from a spring on the property which emerged from a deep cave, still visible today. However, Lincoln did not remember living on the farm because his family moved down the road to Knob Creek Farm when he was only two years old.
If you visit the site, you will find information and exhibits in the reception center near the memorial building. Among the artifacts is the Lincoln family Bible with the signature of his father and mark of his mother. Many visitors stay to see a brief orientation film about Lincoln's early life in Kentucky.

February 12, 1823: Andrew Jackson visited Gallatin, Tennessee, to arbitrate a mercantile dispute involving Samuel K. Blyth, Hardy M. Cryer, and Samuel Gwin. [67]
February 12 1825: The Creek Indians cede all of their land in Georgia to the United States.[68] The second treaty was signed at the Indian Springs Hotel on February 12, 1825 and ratified March 7, 1825. It was negotiated by McIntosh and his first cousin, Georgia Governor George Troup. Under this treaty the Lower Creek surrendered all of their lands east of the Chattahoochee, including the sacred Ocmulgee Old Fields, and accepted relocation west of the Mississippi River to an equivalent parcel of land along the Arkansas River. In compensation for the move to unimproved land, and to aid in obtaining supplies, the Creek nation would receive $200,000 paid in decreasing installments over a period of years. A controversial article provided additional payments to McIntosh for the lands granted to him in 1821.[1]
The treaty was popular with Georgians, who re-elected Troupe in the state's first popular election in 1825. It was signed by only six chiefs, and the Creek National Council denounced it, ordering the execution of McIntosh and the other Muscogee signatories, as it was a capital crime to alienate tribal land. [69][70]
The leading signatory for the Lower Creek was the chief William McIntosh. The son of a Creek woman of the prominent Wind Clan and a Loyalist Scots officer, he supported the 'civilizing mission' of the U.S. Indian Agent Benjamin Hawkins. He led the Lower Creek Towns in the Creek War of 1813-14, against the traditionalist Red Stick faction of the Upper Creek, and the First Seminole War.
He acquired slaves and developed a medium-sized cotton plantation on the Chattahoochee at Lockhau Talofau (Acorn Bluff) in present-day Carroll County. For his role in signing the First Treaty of Indian Springs, McIntosh received 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of land at Indian Springs. There he built a second plantation and a hotel to draw tourists to the local hot springs, then a popular destination.
The second treaty was signed at the Indian Springs Hotel on February 12, 1825 and ratified March 7, 1825. It was negotiated by McIntosh and his first cousin, Georgia Governor George Troup. Under this treaty the Lower Creek surrendered all of their lands east of the Chattahoochee, including the sacred Ocmulgee Old Fields, and accepted relocation west of the Mississippi River to an equivalent parcel of land along the Arkansas River. In compensation for the move to unimproved land, and to aid in obtaining supplies, the Creek nation would receive $200,000 paid in decreasing installments over a period of years.

Almost a year after Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, both houses of Congress gathered for a memorial February 12, Lincoln’s birthday. Althogh Honest Abe’s birth date became a holiday in many states, it would not become an official federal holiday.[76]
The last Monday in May is celebrated as Memorial Day. The federal holiday began in 1868 as a way to honor the Union Soldiers who had died in the Civil War.[77]
February 12, 1875: On the evening of 12 February 1875 above Iowa a brilliant fireball was observed. About 100 meteorite fragments fell over a 18-square-mile (47 km2) snowy countryside area from Amana to Boltonville in Iowa County. The first found fragment, a stone weighing about 3.5 kilograms (7.7 lb), was discovered by Sarah Sherlock 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south of Homestead.[2] The area was wooded and covered by snow, impeding recovery efforts. On 10 February a 40 centimetres (16 in) snowfall blanketed the ground, preventing the great majority of the fragments from being discovered until Spring. The 74 pounds (34 kg) main mass was found along with a 48 pounds (22 kg) fragment buried 2 feet (0.61 m) in the soil.[2]
As of December 2011, approximately 230 kilograms (510 lb) has been found.[78]

February 12, 1931: Pope Pius XI broadcasts for the first time in history so that Catholics around the world could hear the Popes voice.[86]
February 12, 1938: German troops entered Austria in an event known as the Anschluss. After the war, Austrians tried to present themselves as the first victims of the Nazis. The cheering crowds that greeted Hitler at that time tell a different story. The Austrians were quick to adopt the German attitude toward Austrian Jews.[87]
February 12, 1940: The British War Cabinet discussed the 1939 White Paper to limit Jewish land purchase in Palestine. Despite a protest from Churchill, the land limitation regulations would be put into force.[88]
February 12, 1942(25th of Shevat, 5702): The Nazis rounded up and murdered 3,000 Jews in the Ukrainian town of Brailov. The Jewish community in the Shtetel of Brailov can be traced back at least to the start of the 17th century. After the war Brailov was the subject of a 52-minute documentary called “Judenfrei: A Shtetl Without Jews.”[89]
February 12, 1943: For one week Germans are greeted with an armed uprising as they try to deport the final group of Bialystok Jews. By February 12th, 18,000 were in hiding. Another 10,000 would end up in Treblinka.[90]

[43] At a general meeting at Harrodsburg, two agents were chosen to negotiate with the Virginia Assembly, for the efficient protection and general good of the new settlements of Kentucky. This was on the 6th June, 1776. Five hundred pounds of powder were procured from the Council of that State and taken from Pittsburgh down the Ohio and secreted near Limestone, now Maysville. Late in December, a party under Colonel John Todd was sent for the powder, but when near the Blue Licks was attacked and defeated by Indians. Oniy one of the settlers was killed, and the powder was afterward brought safely to Harrodsburg.

[63] Chestnut. Castanea dentata. A tree worth mentioning that was once common in dry forest areas. It was 60-80 feet tall and two or three feet in diameter. Unfortunately, this tree with beautiful wood for furniture was nearly eliminated in the early 1900s by a fungus bark disease. An expensive piece of frontier furniture might be made of yellowish-tan chestnut. Because it splits easily, and evenly, it was used as rails in settler's fences. Edible nuts were housed in a tough, briar-skinned husk. The nuts became mature in the fall (October-November) and could be roasted for a winter treat (or fed to the hogs). The tree is coming back and can be found in western PA. Sometimes the tree is confused with the horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum). The cylindrical husks of the horse chestnut look strangely familiar to anyone who has followed a horse down a path—round balls with partially digested grains of oats. Boats were often made of chestnut due to its resistance to moisture and decay.
