April 2, 1536: – John Skip, Anne Boleyn’s almoner, delivers his controversial passion Sunday sermon. [1]
April 2, 1536: Anne instructed her chaplains to preach against the vicegerent, and on April 2, 1536 her almoner, John Skip, denounced Cromwell before the entire court as an enemy of the Queen. Anne had so far failed to produce a male heir, and Cromwell, aware that the King was growing impatient and had become enamoured of the young Jane Seymour, acted with ruthless determination, accusing Anne of adultery with several courtiers, including her own brother, Viscount Rochford.[2]
April 2, 1548: The letters-patent of his creation are registered in the parliament of Paris. [3]
April 2, 1559: Conclusion of the peace of Cateau Cambresis, between France, England, and Spain. [4]
April 2, 1571: The Earl of Lennox takes the Castle of Dumbarton, which still held out for the Queen of Scotland, and hangs the Archbishop of St. Andrews, who had shut himself up there. Many papers of importance were found at Dumbarton, and sent to London; among others, a memorial by Claude Hamilton of his negotiations with the Duke of Alva, relative to the expedition then preparing in Flanders for the assistance of Mary and the English Catholics. Burleigh, thns put upon the scent of what was designed, takes from that time the most diligent steps to discover the conspirators, and begins by causing all communications with the continent to be intercepted.
It was precisely at this conjuncture that Charles Baillie, one of the secretaries of the Bishop of Ross, was arrested at Dover. He was returning from Flanders, where he had been to superintend the
printing of a work written by the Bishop of Ross in defence of the Queen of Scotland ;^[5] and as he was in Brussels at the same time as Ridolfi, he had assisted him in deciphering his despatches, and was charged with the conveyance of them to London. They were all seized at Dover, and deposited in the cabinet of Lord Cobham, lord warden of the Cinque Ports. But the Bishop of Ross, who had spies in that quarter,
soon heard of it, and contrived to exchange them for papers of no importance.
In the meanwhile Baillie was sent to London, and imprisoned in the Marshalsea. He had then the imprudence to write to the Bishop of Ross, and the latter to reply to him through the medium of a prisoner
named William Herle ; this person was one of Burleigh's spies, and he communicated to that minister all their correspondence. Burleigh was then soon aware that the Bishop of Ross was in possession of
letters from Ridolfi. Aroused by this discovery, he employed every means to induce Baillie to divulge the contents of the letters which had been entrusted to him. But being unable to obtain any disclosure from him, he committed him to the Tower.
Mary, watched with the utmost strictness, was entirely ignorant of all that was passing in London, and continued to write as usual. Most of her letters were intercepted, and fell into the hands of her enemies ; some, however, reached the parties to whom they were addressed.
[6]
April 2, 1578: Mary Isabella of France, only daughter of Charles IX and Elizabeth of Austria, dies at Paris, aged five years.
The satisfaction which Mary experienced in seeing her son in the hands of the lords of her own party, was not of long duration. On 26th April, the young Earl of Marr, yielding to the persuasion of Morton, takes
by surprise the Castle of Stirling, then commanded by his uncle, Alexander Erskine, and by this means makes himself master of the person of James VI. The Earls of Argyll and AthoU, taken unawares, found themselves constrained to seek for an arrangement with Marr and Morton, and negotiations were entered upon on this subject at Edinburgh.
About this time the States-General of the Netherlands declared the Duke of Anjou protector of their provinces : this prince accepted the title which had been offered to him by the States, and immediately hastened to raise large levies of troops in his territory, in order to go to their assistance. [7]
April 2, 1587: – Drake sets sail for Spain. [8]
April 2, 1634: Although a genuinely pious Roman Catholic,[16] Galileo fathered three children out of wedlock with Marina Gamba. They had two daughters, Virginia in 1600 and Livia in 1601, and one son, Vincenzo, in 1606. Because of their illegitimate birth, their father considered the girls unmarriageable, if not posing problems of prohibitively expensive support or dowries, which would have been similar to Galileo's previous extensive financial problems with two of his sisters.[17] Their only worthy alternative was the religious life. Both girls were sent to the convent of San Matteo in Arcetri and remained there for the rest of their lives.[18] Virginia took the name Maria Celeste upon entering the convent. She died on April 2, 1634, and is buried with Galileo at the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence. Livia took the name Sister Arcangela and was ill for most of her life. Vincenzo was later legitimised as the legal heir of Galileo, and married Sestilia Bocchineri.[19][9]
April 2, 1743: The third of ten children, Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 (April 2, 1743 O.S.)[Note 1] at the family home in Shadwell, Goochland County, Virginia, now part of Albemarle County.[13] His father was Peter Jefferson, a planter and slaveholder, and a surveyor.[14] He was of possible Welsh descent, although this remains unclear.[15] His mother was Jane Randolph, daughter of Isham Randolph, a ship's captain and sometime planter. Peter and Jane married in 1739.[16] Thomas Jefferson was little interested and indifferent to his ancestry and he only knew of the existence of his paternal grandfather.[15]
Before the widower William Randolph, an old friend of Peter Jefferson, died in 1745, he appointed Peter as guardian to manage his Tuckahoe Plantation and care for his four children. That year the Jeffersons relocated to Tuckahoe, where they lived for the next seven years before returning to Shadwell in 1752. Here Thomas Jefferson recorded his earliest memory, that of being carried on a pillow by a slave during the move to Tuckahoe.[17] Peter Jefferson died in 1757 and the Jefferson estate was divided between Peter's two sons; Thomas and Randolph.[18] Thomas inherited approximately 5,000 acres (2,000 ha; 7.8 sq mi) of land, including Monticello and between 20-40 slaves. He took control of the property after he came of age at 21.[19]
The birth and death of Thomas Jefferson are given using the Gregorian calendar. As he was born when Britain and her colonies still used the Julian calendar, contemporary records and his tombstone record his birth as April 2, 1743.[10]
April 2nd, 1754
On Tuesday, the 2d of April, at noon, the force marched out of Alexandrea with two wagon, and camped that night sic miles form the town. From that time nothing of note occurred in fifteen day’s marching, except that the detachment was joined by a small company under Capt. Stephen,[11] bringing the total strength of the command up to about one hundred and fifty men.
Washington kept no regular journal on the expedition, but he made hast notes of many occurrences; which notes were captured by the French at the battle of the Monongahela in 1755, and were by them preserved and published, though Washington said afterwards that they had distorted parts of them.[12]
Tuesday April 2, 1754:
George Washington leaves Alexandria VA with two companies of Virginians totaling 132 men. They are bound for the Forks of the Ohio to defend a fort being constructed there by other members of the Virginia Regiment under Captain Trent. [13]

“April 2d, 1768.
“We arrived at the settlement on Redstone on the 23rd day of March. The people having heard of our coming, had appointed a meeting among themselves on the 24th, to consult what measures to take. We took advantage of this meeting, read the Act of Assembly and Proclamation—explaining the law and giving the reasons of it as well as we could, and used our endeavors to persuade them to comply; alleging to them that it was the most probable method to entitle them to favor with the Honorable Proprietors when the land was purchased.
“After lamenting their distressed condition, they told us the people were not fully collected; but they expected all would attend on the Sabbath following, and then they would give us an answer. They, however, affirmed that the Indians were very peaceable, and seemed sorry that they were to be removed, and said they apprehended the English intended to make war upon the Indians, as they were moving off their people from the neighborhood.
“We labored to persuade them that they were imposed upon by a few straggling Indians; that Sir William Johnston, who had informed our Government, must be better acquainted with the mind of the Six Nations, and that they were displeased with the white people’s settling on their unpurchased lands.
“On Sabbath, the 27th, of March, a considerable number attended (their names are subjoined,) and most of them told us they were resolved to move off and would petition your Honor for a preference in obtaining their improvements when a purchase was made. While we were conversing we were informed that a number of Indians were to come to Indian Peter’s. We, judging it might be subservient to our main design that the Indians should be present, while we were advising the people to obey the law, sent for them. They came, and, after sermon, delivered a speech, with a string of wampum, to be transmitted to your Honor. Their speech was— ‘Ye are come, sent by your great men, to tell these people to go away from the land, which ye say is our’s; and we are sent by our great men, and are glad we have met here this day. We tell you, the white people must stop, and we stop them till the treaty, and when George Croghan and our great men talk together, we will tell them what to do.’ The Indians were from Mingo town, about eighty miles from Redstone (a little below Steubenville).
“After this the people were more confirmed that there was no danger of war. They dropped the design of petitioning, and said they would wait the issue of the treaty. Some, however, declared they would move off. We had sent a messenger to Cheat River and to Stewart’s Crossings of Youghiogheny with several proclamations, requesting them to meet us at Gist’s place as most central for both settlement:. On the 3oth of March, about thirty or forty met us there. We proceeded, as at Redstone, reading the Act of Assembly and a Proclamation, and endeavored to convince them of the necessity and reasonableness of quitting the unpurchased land; but to no purpose. They had heard what the Indians had said at Redstone, and they reasoned in the same manner, declaring they had no apprehensions of a war, that they would attend the treaty, and take their measures accordingly. Many severe things were said of Mr. Croghan; and one Lawrence Harrison treated the law and our Government with too much disrespect.
“On the 31st of March we came to the Great Crossings of Youghiogheny, and being informed by one Speer that eight or ten families lived in a place called the Turkey Foot, we sent some proclamations thither by said Speer, as we did to some families nigh the Crossings of Little Yough, judging it unnecessary to go amongst them.
“It is our opinion that some will move off in obedience to the law; that the greatest part will await the treaty, and if they find the Indians are indeed dissatisfied, we think the whole will be persuaded to remove. The Indians coming to Redstone, and delivering their speech, greatly obstructed our design.

In a supplemental report to the Governor by Mr. Steel, he says:
“The people at Redstone alleged that the removing of them from the unpurchased lands was a contrivance of the gentlemen and merchants of Philadelphia, that they might take rights for their improvements when a purchase was made. In confirmation of this they said that a gentleman of the name of Harris, and another called ‘Wallace, with one Friggs, a pilot, spent a considerable time last August in viewing the lands and creeks thereabouts. I am of opinion, from the appearance the people made, and the best intelligence we could obtain, that there are but about an hundred and fifty families in the different settlements of Redstone, Youghiogheny and Cheat.” We suppose this estimate included all the settlers in what is now Fayette county and Turkey Foot. The names of Harris, Wallace and Frigg do not appear in our early land titles, so far as we know. They were perhaps agents for others.[17]
The treaty referred to so often in the foregoing report was to be held at Fort Pitt in the ensuing April and May, by George Croghan,

WILLIAM CRAWFORD made application to the proper office for an order to have this tract of land surveyed, April 2, 1769. The order was issued and the survey made and returned to the land office, where it was described as “A certain tract of land called Stewart’s Crossing” situated on the south side of the Youghioghemy River. This home tract of Crawford included nearly all of what subsequently became the village of New Haven, and a considerable quantity of land outside the borough.[18]

Pvt.

Creek [Chartiers] in 1784;? taxed in Pitt Township of Allegheny County in 1791 ?is buried in Allegheny County. As sub-lieutenant would have been along with Matthew Ritchie the second highest ranking Washington County militia officer on the expedition going as a private when he had the militia rank of Major;
EF says? a surveyor by profession; settled near Catfish Camp in 1776 after which he served in the Continental Line, and with General McIntosh at Fort Laurens in 1778; Deputy Surveyor General in Yohogania, now Washington County; surveyed in this county in 1780 under Virginia certificates; Brigade Major in Crawford?s Expedition; commanded a division after Colonel Burton was wounded; died June 18, 1830, at the home of a daughter at Sewickly Bottom;? PMA- says that Daniel Leet was a friend of General Washington and a Major in the Continental Army where he had a distinguished career. It is fully possible that this Daniel Leet was a surveyor for the Ohio Company of Virginia hoping to ensure land for top men of Virginia including George Washington and George Mason.[46][19]
April 2, 1782
The following is confirmatory of the fact of the early visitations of the savages:
“The intelligence which has been received from the frontiers of the state respecting the ravages of the Indians, and the murders which they have committed at this early season, leaves no room to doubt of their determination to exert their utmost power to distress us during the year, and confirms the accounts we had received from Fort Pitt, Washington [county], etc., of the combinations formed by them for that purpose[20]1 It will be observed that, in the above letter, the declaration of General Irvine that Colonel Marshel “ordered out the militia [of Washington county] to go to Muskingum” is unequivocal; and that, for that reason, he wrote to him for his official “report of the matter,” nnd for that of Colonel Williamson, who commanded the party. But why “go to Muskingum” (that is, to that branch of the river now known as the Tuscarawas)? Leinbach [21] answers the question: “In order to destroy three Indian settlements of which they [the militia] seemed to be sure of being the towns of7 some enemy Indians [that is, warriors — Marauding Indians].”[22]

April 2, 1790: In 1793 and 1794, in Shenandoah County, Frederick Heiskell of Edinburg paid the personal property tax for [no first name] Gutlope/Gudlope. These might be references to Francis Godlove. On April 2, 1790, a Francis Cutliff was in Augusta County. Sarah, daughter of Franz and Maria Gottlob, was born November 5, 1789 and baptized March 14, 1790 at Altalaha Lutheran Church, Rehrersburg, Tulpehocken Township, Berks Co., Pennsylvania. These suggest a man on the move.
I want more evidence, but it looks like Francis Godlove/Franz Gottlob of Hardy and Hampshire Counties was the Johan Franz Gottlob who deserted in July 1783 from Mallet's Company of the Linsing Regiment of Hessian Grenadiers shortly before they left New York after the American War for Independence. This Franz Gottlob was born in Werneck, principality of Würzburg (now in Bavaria). The military records give his year of birth as variously 1751-1753. An 1805 court record says Francis of Hampshire County he was 61 at that time, so born 1744.
April 2, 1790 “Francis Cutliff” was in Augusta County, Va. This is less than three weeks after Sarah’s baptism. If this is a reference to Francis Godlove, perhaps he was scouting the Shenandoah Valley as a potential home.[26]
April 2, 1805: William Clark wrote to William Henry Harrison from Fort Mandan in 1805. The long and detailed letter describes the country, wildlife, and Indian tribes he had encountered. Clark explained, "I do my self the pleasure of giving you a summary view of the Missouri &c [country .[27]
April 2, 1805: William Henry Harrison informs the Secretary of War about the possible travel of Indian chiefs to Washington. Harrison also relays that Clark has sent him a letter [April 2, 1805] saying that all is well. William Henry Harrison to Henry Dearborn, Vincennes, May 27, 1805, Letters, Jackson, ed., 246-47. (B00606)
April 2, 1835: Sally Ann McKinnon married Jonathan Plum.[28]
April 2, 1863: During the Civil War, food shortages cause hundreds of angry women to riot in Richmond, Virginia and demand that the Confederate government release emergency supplies, in what became known as the Richmond Bread Riots. In her honor's thesis entitled The Richmond Bread Riot of 1863: Class, Race, and Gender in the Urban Confederacy, MIDN 1/C Katherine R. Titus wrote that while the rioters targeted speculators and government offices "Richmond citizens also targeted foreigners and Jews. The city had a tradition of blatant anti-Semitism. Once the War erupted, many Richmond citizens openly blamed the Jews and foreigners in the city for speculation and charged them with disloyalty. Sallie A. Putnam, for instance, believed that the Jews in Richmond profited from the war. She exhorted, "They were not found, as the more interested of the people, without the means to purchase food when the Confederate money became useless to us from the failure of our cause." Major John W. Daniel contended that local stereotypes allowed the rioters to target Richmond Jews. After the War, he reminisced, "certain people down there were credited with great wealth. It was said that they had made barrels of money out of the Confederacy, and the female Communists went at them without a qualm of conscience."[29]
How did Confederate President Jefferson Davis end the “bread riot,” which occurred in Richmond on April 2, 1863? When an unruly mob demanding bread began looting Richmond stores, Davis dramatically mounted a wagon, delivered a patriotic speech, threw the mob all the money from his pockets, then gave them five minutes to disperse before Confederate troops opened fire. They dispersed.[30]

April 2, 1865: As the South ran out of manpower the issue of arming the slaves became paramount. By late 1864, the army so dominated the Confederacy that civilian leaders were unable to block the military's proposal, strongly endorsed by Lee, to arm and train slaves in Confederate uniform for combat. In return for this service, slave soldiers and their families would be emancipated. Lee explained, "We should employ them without delay ... [along with] gradual and general emancipation." The first units were in training as the war ended.[78][79] As the Confederate army was devastated by casualties, disease and desertion, the Union attack on Petersburg succeeded on April 2, 1865. Lee abandoned Richmond and retreated west. Lee then made an attempt to escape to the southwest and join up with Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Tennessee in North Carolina.[39]

This series primarily consists of printed invitations, menus, and other souvenirs that Harrison collected as mementos of various dinners, receptions, and other functions that he attended. In addition, this series also includes various political mementos, including a humorous excursion ticket that mentions Carter H. Harrison III, and admission tickets to political conventions. Catalogues from exhibitions where items from Harrison's art collection were shown, or in which he otherwise had a special interest, as well as a set of club by-laws from Les Rosettes et Rubans de France, are also arranged in this series. A few of the items contain handwritten notes by Harrison that provide some background information about the event to which the item in question pertains.
The items in this series are arranged alphabetically by the name of the person, place or event to which they relate.

April 2, 1941: Hungarian Premier Count Pál Telecki committed suicide rather than collaborate with Germany. This is only one small chapter in the complex story of Hungary's involvement in World War II. For much of the war, Hungary's Jewish population would remain comparatively untouched by the raging Holocaust. Only in the final year of the war would the final solution come to this eastern European state.[48] Our closest DNA connection with the last name of Schlenker, says that Hungary was the location of his earliest known ancestry.
April 2, 1942: Enterprise's sister ship Hornet had sailed from San Francisco, also accompanied by a cruiser and destroyer screen. Ploughing westwards, Hornet carried a somewhat unusual cargo. Arrayed across her aft flight deck, in two parallel rows, sat 16 Mitchell B-25 bombers: Army Air Force medium bombers. By all appearances, the bombers were too large to possibly take off from a carrier deck.[49]
On April 2, 1942 the USS Hornet and a number of escorts set sail from Alameda, California with the 16 B-25s strapped to its deck. This task force rendezvoused with another including the USS Enterprise, and proceeded for the Japanese mainland. An element of surprise was important for this mission to succeed. When the task force was spotted by a Japanese picket boat, Admiral Halsey made the decision to launch the attack earlier than was planned. This meant that the raiders would have to fly more than 600 miles to Japan, and would arrive over their targets in daylight. It also meant that it would be unlikely that each aircraft would have sufficient fuel to reach useable airfields in China. Doolittle had 50 gallons of additional fuel stowed on each aircraft as well as a dinghy and survival supplies for the likely ditchings at sea which would now take place. At approximately 8:00 AM the Hornets loudspeaker blared, Now hear this: Army pilots, man your planes! Doolittle and his co-pilot R.E. Cole piloted the first B-25 off the Hornets deck at about 8:20 AM. With full flaps, and full throttle the Mitchell roared towards the Hornets bow, just barely missing the ships island superstructure. The B-25 lifted off, Doolittle leveled out, and made a single low altitude pass down the painted center line on the Hornets deck to align his compass. The remaining aircraft lifted off at approximately five minute intervals. The mission was planned to include five three-plane sections directed at various targets. However, Doolittle had made it clear that each aircraft was on its own. He insisted, however, that civilian targets be avoided, and under no circumstances was the Imperial Palace in Tokyo to be bombed. About 30 minutes after taking off Doolittles B-25 was joined by another piloted by Lt. Travis Hoover. These two aircraft approached Tokyo from the north. They encountered a number of Japanese fighter or trainer aircraft, but they remained generally undetected at their low altitude. At 1:30 PM the Japanese homeland came under attack for the first time in the War. From low altitudes the raiders put their cargoes of four 500 pounders into a number of key targets. Despite antiaircraft fire, all the attacking aircraft were unscathed. The mission had been a surprise, but the most hazardous portion of the mission lay ahead. The Chinese were not prepared for the raiders arrival. Many of the aircraft were ditched along the coast, and the crews of other aircraft, including Doolittles were forced to bail out in darkness. There were a number of casualties, and several of the raiders were caught by Japanese troops in China, and some were eventually executed. This painting is dedicated to the memories of those airmen who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country and the thousands of innocent Chinese citizens which were brutally slaughtered as a reprisal for their assistance in rescuing the downed crews.[50]

April 2, 2005: On this day in 2005, John Paul II, history's most well-traveled pope and the first non-Italian to hold the position since the 16th century, dies at his home in the Vatican. Six days later, two million people packed Vatican City for his funeral, said to be the biggest funeral in history.
John Paul II was born Karol Jozef Wojtyla in Wadowice, Poland, 35 miles southwest of Krakow, in 1920. After high school, the future pope enrolled at Krakow's Jagiellonian University, where he studied philosophy and literature and performed in a theater group. During World War II, Nazis occupied Krakow and closed the university, forcing Wojtyla to seek work in a quarry and, later, a chemical factory. By 1941, his mother, father, and only brother had all died, leaving him the sole surviving member of his family.
Although Wojtyla had been involved in the church his whole life, it was not until 1942 that he began seminary training. When the war ended, he returned to school at Jagiellonian to study theology, becoming an ordained priest in 1946. He went on to complete two doctorates and became a professor of moral theology and social ethics. On July 4, 1958, at the age of 38, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Krakow by Pope Pius XII. He later became the city s archbishop, where he spoke out for religious freedom while the church began the Second Vatican Council, which would revolutionize Catholicism. He was made a cardinal in 1967, taking on the challenges of living and working as a Catholic priest in communist Eastern Europe. Once asked if he feared retribution from communist leaders, he replied, "I m not afraid of them. They are afraid of me."
Wojtyla was quietly and slowly building a reputation as a powerful preacher and a man of both great intellect and charisma. Still, when Pope John Paul I died in 1978 after only a 34-day reign, few suspected Wojtyla would be chosen to replace him. But, after seven rounds of balloting, the Sacred College of Cardinals chose the 58-year-old, and he became the first-ever Slavic pope and the youngest to be chosen in 132 years.
A conservative pontiff, John Paul II s papacy was marked by his firm and unwavering opposition to communism and war, as well as abortion, contraception, capital punishment, and homosexual sex. He later came out against euthanasia, human cloning, and stem cell research. He traveled widely as pope, using the eight languages he spoke (Polish, Italian, French, German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin) and his well-known personal charm, to connect with the Catholic faithful, as well as many outside the fold.
On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot in St. Peter s Square by a Turkish political extremist, Mehmet Ali Agca. After his release from the hospital, the pope famously visited his would-be assassin in prison, where he had begun serving a life sentence, and personally forgave him for his actions. The next year, another unsuccessful attempt was made on the pope s life, this time by a fanatical priest who opposed the reforms of Vatican II.
Although it was not confirmed by the Vatican until 2003, many believe Pope John Paul II began suffering from Parkinson s disease in the early 1990s. He began to develop slurred speech and had difficulty walking, though he continued to keep up a physically demanding travel schedule. In his final years, he was forced to delegate many of his official duties, but still found the strength to speak to the faithful from a window at the Vatican. In February 2005, the pope was hospitalized with complications from the flu. He died two months later.
Pope John Paul II is remembered for his successful efforts to end communism, as well as for building bridges with peoples of other faiths, and issuing the Catholic Church s first apology for its actions during World War II. He was succeeded by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI. Benedict XVI began the process to beatify John Paul II in May 2005.[51]

[16] Several of these persons resided at considerable distances from the mouth of Redstone, or from Gist’s—as Philip Shute and James McClean, who lived in N. Union township, near the base of Laurel Hill; Thomas Douthitt on the tract where Uniontown now is; Captain Coburn some ten miles southeast of New Geneva; Gabriel Conn probably on Georges creek, near Woodbridgetown. The Provanees settled on Provance’s Bottom, near Masontown, and on the other side of the river, at the mouth of Big Whiteley. The Brownfields located south and southeast Of Uniontown. Ralph Higgenbottom resided on the Waynesburg road, In Menallen township, a little west of the Sandy Hill Quaker graveyard. The others, so far as we know, resided near the places to which they came. lt is singular that the Commissioners did not visit the upper Monongahela, or Georges creek and Cheat settlements. We infer that they were discouraged by their ill success at Redstone.

[33] Despite orders to the contrary, some of the federals “foraged considerably” in the area. Perhaps as an example, the provost marshal picked up six of the offenders, punished them “severely,” and “turned them over to Col. Beal for court martial, which was done.”
However, on at least one occasion, it was the local citizenry who disciplined the bluecoats. On Saturday, April 2nd, three men of Co. I, 24th Iowa Infantry went out foraging at a nearby plantation. Three armed men (no uniforms mentioned) demanded that they surrender. The federals were taken two miles away and tied up. One escaped, the second was shot and killed, and the third was knocked in the head with the butt of a gun but later made it back into camp and reported the incident. General Thomas I. G. Ransom sent the rest of Co. I out the next day with order to burn everything at the plantation which was of no use to the quartermaster department, and those orders were carried out “with exceeding cheerfulness.” http://www.rootsweb.com/~ladesoto/cireac.htm
[34] The only misfortune to befall the 24th was the capture and execution of a member of Company F by a band of rebel guerrillas near Natchitoches, Louisiana. The plantation were the killing occurred was razed by the regiment in retaliation. (A History of the 24th Iowa Infantry 1862-1865 by Harvey H. Kimble Jr. August 1974.)
