Religion Roman Catholicism
Henry V (11 August 1086[1] – May 23, 1125) was King of Germany (from 1099 to 1125) and Holy Roman Emperor (from 1111 to 1125), the fourth and last ruler of the Salian dynasty. Henry's reign coincided with the final phase of the great Investiture Controversy, which had pitted pope against emperor. By the settlement of the Concordat of Worms, he surrendered to the demands of the second generation of Gregorian reformers.
On May 23, 1125 at 3:20 pm, Henry died of cancer at a docking bay in Utrecht[34] and was buried at Speyer; his heart and bowels are buried at the Cathedral of Saint Martin, Utrecht. Having no legitimate children, he left his possessions to his sororal nephew, Frederick II of Swabia,[35] and on his death the line of Franconian, or Salian, emperors became extinct. The chronicler Hériman of Tournai mentions a child of Henry and Matilda who died soon after birth. Henry's illegitimate daughter Bertha married Ptolemy II of Tusculum, son of the first Ptolemy, in 1117.
May 23, 1125: Empress Matilda
Matilda of England
Tenure January 7, 1114 – May 23, 1125
The emperor died on May 23, 1125, leaving Matilda a widow at the age of 23.[15] They had no surviving offspring, but Hermann of Tournai stated that Matilda bore a child who lived only a short while.[nb 2] On his deathbed, Henry V entrusted Matilda with the imperial insignia.[16] Having not produced a legitimate child, the Salian dynasty ended. Though the imperial throne was elective rather than hereditary, the title often passed from father to son. Matilda handed over the insignia, which was at Trifels Castle, to Adalbert, archbishop of Mainz, and he began proceedings towards the election,[17] which resulted in the enthronement of her husband's former rival, Lothair III.[18]
Widowhood, heiress and second marriage[edit]
Following her husband's death, Matilda was summoned to Normandy by her father. Matilda was displeased; she was a respected figure in the Empire which was her home since childhood, and German was now her first language.[19] Nonetheless, she had ceased to be involved in German political affairs and with an opponent on the throne, her future there did not promise anything significantly worthwhile.[18] Accepting that likeliness of his marriage providing him a son was slim, Henry I decided that Matilda would be his heiress presumptive. After residing in Normandy for nearly a year with her father and stepmother, they set sail for England in 1126.[20]
May 23, 1399: Salisbury married twice. His first wife, whom he married on or before
May 23, 1399, was Eleanor, daughter of Thomas Holland, earl of Kent (d.
1400), and Alice, daughter of Richard (III) Fitzalan, earl of Arundel.
Neither Eleanor's date of death nor the date of Salisbury's marriage
to his second wife, Alice Chaucer (c.1404–1475), daughter of Thomas
Chaucer (d. 1434) and Maud Burghersh (d. 1437), is known.
May 23, 1420: King Edward I of England ordered the cessation of persecution of Jews of Bordeaux, France.
May 23, 1420: Albert V (Austria) accused a rich Jew, Israel of Enns, of purchasing a wafer in order to desecrate it. All the Jews in the territory were jailed, dispossessed of their property, separated from their families and then subjected to attempts at forced conversion.
May 23, 1421: Those Jews still remaining in Austria were imprisoned and/or expelled.
May 23, 1423: Benedict XIII, the Avignon-based "antipope" known for his relentless persecution of the Jews died today.
1424: Jews expelled from Fribourg & Zurich. Chartier's La Belle Dame Sans Merci in France, John Duke of Bedford serves as regent for Henry VI of England – defeats French at Cravant, James I returns to Scotland.
May 23, 1498: Girolamo Savonarola, a Dominican monk who was a violent opponent of the comparatively philo-Semitic Pope Alexander VI was convicted as a heretic and (strangled) then burned at the stake on the Piazza della Signoria in Florence.
May 23, 1510: Emperor Maximilian of Germany rescinded a previously issued order to burn all Hebrew books.
May 23, 1533: May 23, 1533: – Cramner declares that Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon is annulled. The archbishop pronounced sentence, declaring the marriage of King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, illegal. On May 23,1533, Cranmer (who had been hastened, with the Pope's assent, into the position of Archbishop of Canterbury recently vacated by the convenient death of Warham) sat in judgment at a special court convened at Dunstable Priory to rule on the validity of the King's marriage to Catherine of Aragon.

On May 23, 1533, Cranmer, sitting in judgment at a special court convened at Dunstable Priory to rule on the validity of Henry's marriage to Catherine, declared the marriage illegal, even though Catherine testified she and Arthur had never had physical relations.

May 23, 1533 – January 7, 1536: Her Royal Highness Princess Dowager of Wales, Dowager Duchess of Cornwall, Countess Dowager of Chester
In art and media
Over the years, numerous artistic and cultural works have been dedicated to her, written about her, or mentioned her, including some by her husband Henry VIII, who wrote "Grene growth the holy" about and for her, and Juan Luis Vives, who dedicated "The Education of Christian Women" to her.[85]
Catherine of Aragon has been portrayed in film, television, plays, books, and other forms many times, and as a result she has stayed very much in popular memory. There has never been a film or television series where she is the main character although an arguable exception is the first episode of The Six Wives of Henry VIII which is told from her point of view and where she is portrayed by Annette Crosbie. There are also many novels, songs, and poems written about her. Shakespeare's play Henry VIII is tremendously successful in recreating, with great accuracy, Catherine's statement about the legitimacy of her marriage at the court in Blackfriars before King Henry, and Catherine's portrayal is very sympathetic therein. However, most of the rest of the play is an attempt to absolve many, especially Henry VIII, and the timing of key incidents (including Catherine's death) are changed and other events are avoided (the play makes Henry nearly an innocent pawn in the hands of a dastard Cardinal Wolsey, and the play stops short of Anne Boleyn's execution).
Although Catherine is often portrayed in film and on stage as having possessed the stereotypical Spanish traits of dark hair and eyes as well an olive complexion, existing portraits and contemporary descriptions depict her as having had blue eyes, fair skin, and reddish-blonde hair, not uncommon for Spaniards from the northern regions of Spain, such as those from her father's land of Aragon. Furthermore, she was part English, through her ancestors, Katherine of Lancaster and Philippa of Lancaster, who were both daughters of John of Gaunt, 1st Duke of Lancaster.
She is often played with a Spanish accent; from most reports, this is accurate, as she never fully mastered the English language.
The Second Charter,* signed and sealed on May 23, 1609, granted to
the adventurers mentioned in the First Charter and to others the formation
of "one body or commonalty perpetual, to be known as the Treasurer
and Company of Adventurers of the City of London for the First Colony
of Virginia" — the London Company. Under this reorganization of 1609
the administration of local affairs was delegated to a governor and a
Council to reside in the Colony. Sir Thomas Smythe became the first
Treasurer of the Company.
"Nominated as Planters were those that go there in person to dwell
themselves and Adventurers those who adventure their mony and go not
in person and both do make the members of one Colony." A single share
in the Company was rated at twelve pounds ten shillings.
The presidents of the Virginia council under the First Charter were
Edward-Maria Wingfield, Mathew Scrivener, Capt. John Smith, and George
Percy, son of the eighth Earl of Northumberland. In later days John Rolfe,
husband of Pocahontas, voiced an objection to this system of government:
"The beginning of this plantation was governed by a president and coun-
cill, aristocratically and in this government happened all the miserie."f
Under the second charter Sir Thomas Gates, who "had the honour
to all posterity to be the first named in his Majestys Pattent of graunt in
Virginia," was chosen the first and absolute governor.

Per ipsum Regem exactum.
July 4, 1609: Bohemia is granted freedom of religion in the same year as that in which Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel also known as the Maharal, one of the most famous Jewish scholars and educators from Prague passed away. “Rabbi Loew published more than 50 religious and philosophical books and became the center of legends, as the mystical miracle worker who created the Golem. The Golem is an artificial man made of clay that was brought to life through magic and acted as a guardian over the Jews. The Maharal had positive relations with Rudolph II and was even invited to his castle. [5]
July 1609
At the end of July, A.D. 1609, the Bishop of the Isles, as commissioner for King James VI., went to Iona, and there all the chief men of the isles submitted themselves to him in the most unreserved manner as the king's representative. The chiefs were twelve in number, viz., MacDonald of Dunyveg, Lauchlan MacKinnon of that ilk, Gorme of Sleat, Vic Ian Captain of the Clanranald, MacLeod of Harris, the MacLeans of Duart, Coll and Lochbuy, Lauchlan and Allan, cousins of Duart, the MacQuarrie of Ulva, and the MacPhie of Colonsay. The bishop, taking advantage of the unanimity that prevailed, held a court, at which the famous and important Statutes of Icolmkill were enacted, as follows:—
I. The clergy to be properly obeyed and paid, churches to be rebuilt, sabbaths to be kept, Reformed Kirk discipline to be observed; also, " hand-fasting " to be abolished.
II. Inns to be established for conveniences of labourers as well as travelers.
III. To reduce vagabondry, no man to be suffered to reside in the Isles without sufficient income, or following some trade; households of the chiefs to be reduced and kept up at their own expense, not at that of the tenantry.
IV. "Sorning" or living at free quarters on the poor people, to be punished as thieving.
V. To stop drunkenness, a man might only brew enough equa vitae for his own family, but the barons might purchase wine &c., in the south.
VI. Every gentleman or yeoman with sixty cattle to send his eldest son, or, failing sons, his daughter, to be educated at school in the lowlands at his own expense, that they might learn to speak, read, and write English
VII. The use of fire-arms was forbidden under ally circumstances, the Islanders “owing to their monstrous deadly feuds,” having hitherto alone disobeyed the Act of Parliament passed in the present reign to to-is effect.
VIII. Bards and other idlers forbidden.
IX. Enactments for enforcing the above.
May 23, 1740: John Gibson was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, May 23, 1740, the son of
George Gibson, Sr., a well known and respected tavern owner, and brother
286 EDWARD G. WILLIAMS SEPTEMBER
of Colonel George Gibson, also of the Virginia Line. His mother was the
highly educated daughter of a French count (Huguenot). Her sons and
grandsons received much of their classical education from her, especially in
French and Spanish. The two sons later had opportunity to use their linguistic
knowledge. T. P. Roberts, Memoir of John Bannister Gibson, Pittsburgh
(1890), 12-13. About 1770, the Gibsons moved to Silver Spring in the
Cumberland Valley, where the father established a mill.
At the age of 18, John's first military experience was with the army of
General Forbes to the Forks of the Ohio, and he remained to enter the Indian
trade. When Pontiac's Indians struck, John, with two men in his employ,
were captured at the mouth of the Beaver. The two men were tortured and
burned; but Gibson was adopted by a squaw to replace a son who had been
killed, and thus was saved. His linguistic ability aided him in quickly mastering
the Indians' language and learning their customs.
Itis mentioned by C. W. Butterfield's Washington-Irvine Correspondence,
vii-xi, that John Gibson was one of those captives released by Bouquet at the
end of 1764. A search of the lists of names in the Gage Papers in the
William L. Clements Library, however, did not yield the name of Gibson.
The author personally has searched the lists inclosed with covering letters in
the Gage Papers. These lists were published by Dr. William S. Ewing in
WPHM, XXXIX,187-203, but John Gibson's name was not included. Dr.
Ewing, however, has since found an additional list of 15 names printed in
New York Mercury, for Monday, January 21, 1765, no. 691; and John Gibson's
name there appears. See Williams, "The Orderly Book of Henry Bouquet,
1764," WPHM, XLII,298 n 63.
For the next few years Gibson continued in the trading business and
built a house opposite Logstown, where he acquired land in the "Indian cornfields."
It was here that the Rev. David McClure visited him and reported
his having a "temporary" Indian wife. Diary of Rev. David McClure, F. B.
Dexter, ed., New York (1899), 15ff; Hanna, Wilderness Trail, I, 380. It is
here stated that this Indian woman was the sister of Chief Logan's wife and
that both were killedby the whites, thus precipitating the outbreak known as
Dunmore's War in 1774. Gibson acted an important role in negotiating peace.
It was he who received the celebrated oration of Logan and so eloquently
translated it, so that it has remained a classic of the English language.
Gibson participated in the treaty at Fort Pitt and undertook a tour of
the Western tribes in the interest of peace, after which he went into the army,
as Lieutenant Colonel of the 6th Virginia Regiment, November 12, 1776.
After being engaged at Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine and Germantown,
and spending the winter at Valley Forge, he was ordered to Fort Pitt to take
command of the 13th Virginia. He marched to the Tuscarawas with Mclntosh
and remained in command of the "Forlorn hope" of 150 men (plus officers)
to garrison Fort Laurens during the terrible winter. Kellogg, Frontier
Advance, 186, 197, 409. He served inBroadhead's campaigns and was left in
command at Fort Pitt, when that officer was recalled. Biographers have
generally overlooked the fact that Col. Gibson was in Virginia with Lafayette
in 1781 for a short while. WPHM, III,31.
After the war Gibson was made a Judge of Common Pleas in Pittsburgh,
was a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1790, and was appointed
Major General of Militia of Pennsylvania. He was on the side of law and
order during the Whisky Insurrection. In 1800, President Jefferson appointed
him Secretary of the Territory of Indiana, which office he held until
Indiana became a State, in 1816. He died at the home of his son-in-law,
George Wallace, at Braddock's Field (now North Braddock, Pa.), and was
buried in Pittsburgh. Biographical sketches may be found in C. W. Butterfield,
Washington-Irvine Correspondence, Madison, Wis. (1882), 349; C. W.
Butterfield, Washington-Crawford Letters, Cincinnati (1877), 69; T. P. Roberts,
Memoir of John Bannister Gibson, Pittsburgh (1890), 219.
May 23, 1633: Phillip Smythe (b. May 23, 1633 / d. August 8, 1708).
Phillip Smythe7 [Thomas Smythe6, John Smythe5, Thomas Smythe4, John Smythe3, Richard2, William1] (b. May 23, 1633 / d. August 8, 1708) married Isabella Sidney (b. September 30, 1634 / d. 20 Jun 1663). Phillip also married Mary Porter (d. 1730).

Thursday May 23, 1754:
Washington writes to his superior officer Joshua Fry about his attempt to investigate the Youghiogheny. "We traced the watercourse near thirty miles, with the full expectation of succeeding in the much desired aim; but, at length, we came to a fall, which continued rough, rocky, and scarcely passable, for two miles, and then fell, within the space of fifty yards, nearly fourty feet perpendicular." Washington had come to the falls in what is today Ohiopyle and unfortunately had to give up on this possibility since boats could not go down the falls and the rapids below.
May 23, 1759: Colonel Thomas Bullit became on of the most interesting figures in this movement, because of his survey of lands down the Ohio Valley. He was an officer in the Forbes army of 1758, and while guarding convoys of the traders along the Forbes Road, suffered his defeat at the hands of the Indians three miles east of Ligonier on May 23, 1759. He afterwards secured a surveyor’s commission from William and Mary College, at Williamsburg, and started marking out lands in the Ohio Valley. Some of his surveys were questioned. The famed William Crawford also received a commission from the same college, and he interested himself mostly in the lands which he had selected for Washington.
John Murray, Earl of Dunmore, otherwise known as Lord Dunmore, was born in Scotland in 1732, and died in England in 1809. He was descended on the female side from the royal Stuarts. When he was appointed Governor of New York in 1770, his salary was to be paid from a duty on tea, but within the next year he was appointed into the governmental and legal life of old Westmoreland County. He is reputed to have visited western Pennsylvania at least three times. He first came in 1773, when Washington was to have accompanied him to the plantation of Justice Crawford (at present Connellsville). Washington was detained by the death of one of the Custis children. In the spring of 1774 Washington again postponed a contemplated visit with Dunmore, and again failed to accompany him. Lord Dunmore visited Pittsburgh and “Fort Dunmore” for the last time in February 1775. Despite his presiding as a justice in the Pennsylvania court at Hannastown, Crawford was all the while in touch with Dunmore, up until at least the April term, 1774, when Connolly appeared at Hannastown.
May 23, 1770
The first two justices of the peace in the territory now embraced in what is now Fayette County were Capt. William Crawford and Thomas Gist, appointed May 23, 1770, for Cumberland County,
May 23, 1773: MOSES VANCE, b. May 23, 1773; died January 27, 1829; married ELIZABETH, daughter of
JACOB & ELIZABETH STRICKLER, settlers in Tyrone Township in 1797.
[May 23, 1774—Monday]
The express messengers to the Virginia governor from Maj John Connolly and Capt. William Crawford reached Williamsburg within hours of each other and informed Lord Dunmore what had occurred on the Ohio—the attacks by Cresap’s party, the massacre perpetrated by the Greathouse party and the ensuing mass exodus of the majority of the settlers.
May 23, 1778
The Commander in chief, in writing to the Board of War on the twenty-third of the following May (see Letter No. 34), spoke of Crawford as “a brave and active officer.” His being ordered to the Western Department, lost him the command of the Thirteenth Virginia and his place in the Continental line, which Washington, although he regretted the circumstance, could not get restored to him. Under Brigadier General Laehlari McIntosh, who succeeded Hand in August, 1778, at Pittsburgh, Crawford took command of the militia of the Western counties of Virginia and had in charge the building of Fort McIntosh at what is now Beaver, in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He marched with that officer into the Indian country in November, in command of a brigade, and was present at the building in December of Fort Laurens, upon the west bank of the Tusearawas river, in what is now Tusearawas county, Ohio. He returned soon after to his home with but few prospects before him in a military way, nevertheless he lost no opportunity, when called upon, in serving his country ; for he still held his commission as colonel, and continued to hold it until his death.
No. 34. WASHINGTON TO THE BOARD OF WAR.
HEADQUARTERS, VALLEY FORGE, May 23, 1778.
DEAR SIR :—I have been favored with yours of the 19th, with its inclosures, on the subject of the Indian ravages upon the western frontier. Previous to the receipt of it, I had put that part of the 13th Virginia regiment which remained here under marching orders, with an intent of sending them to Fort Pitt; as they were raised in that country. Immediately upon receiving the account of the alarming situation of the frontier inhabitants from you, I ordered the 8th Pennsylvania regiment to march. They were also raised to the westward, and are a choice body of men; about one hundred of them have been constantly in Morgan’s rifle corps. These two regiments will march hence, with the full number of two hundred and fifty men.
There are upward of one hundred of the 13th Virginia flow at and near Fort Pitt, and many deserters belonging to both will come in, when they find their regiments are to do duty in that country.
As Colonel Russell of the 13th Virginia regiment is already at Fort Pitt, and Colonel Brodhead commands, and goes up with, the 8th Pennsylvania, it was impossible to give the command of the detachment to Lieutenant-Colonel Butler. Indeed he does not seem to wish to go upon the expedition, as he says his influence is not so great with the inhabitants of the back country as the Board imagines. From his knowledge of the Indian country, their language and manners, he certainly would be very useful; and I shall, therefore, either send him or Colonel John Gibson up, who, I am informed, can render equal service. I can very illy spare the troops which I have sent, especially the 8th Pennsylvania regiment, which composed the greatest part of Morgan’s corps, as the drafts and recruits from the different States not only fall short of the stipulated numbers, but come in extremely slow.
If Colonel John Gibson goes up, he will take the command of the 13th Virginia regiment pro tempore, and Colonel Russell will come down to Gibson’s. There is a dispute subsisting between Colonel Russell and Colonel William Crawford for the 13th Virginia regiment, and I do not mean that this temporary appointment of Colonel Gibson to the command of it should prejudice Colonel Crawford’s claim, should he incline to prosecute it hereafter. If the two regiments to be raised upon the frontiers are not disposed of I would recommend Colonel Crawford to the command of one of them. I know him to be a brave and active officer, and of considerable influence upon the western frontier of Virginia. I am, etc.

May 23, 1781: The first letter by Washington is dated September 21, 1767; the last by Crawford is dated May 23, 1781, a few months before his awful death. Other letters no doubt passed between these true friends and great men, that
were lost or destroyed. Crawford selected and surveyed for Washington11 on and near the Youghiogheny, Great Kanawha,
and Ohio rivers, a great deal of land, forty or fifty thousand acres, and these lands in the language of Washington were "the first
choice of," and "the cream of the country."" He also selected and surveyed lands for Samuel and John, brothers of George Wash-
ington, and for their cousin Lund Washington. Some of the earliest surveys in Brooke, Ohio, and Marshall counties, Virginia,
were made by Captain Crawford.
No. 37.—William CRAWFORD TO George WASHINGTON.
May 23, 1781.
DEAR GENERAL :—Sometime ago, I wrote you relative to your Round Bottom tract of land. I can never find out what has been done about it, whether Thomas Lewis has returned rued it or not. If you can give me any direction about it, I will do anything in my power for you. The survey ought to be returned to the office, if it has not been. This I will have done, if it has not been returned; as I can have it done immediately.
I intend going out with General Clark, on the present expedition , if my health will permit but I am very unhealthy lately, having got much cold on the two last expeditions, they having been made in the winter, or, at least, in cold weather. Any directions you may want to give me, you can send by Mr. Randolph, who comes to my house on his way to General Clark. I am, etc.
Michael and Barnard Gratz, Jewish Merchants, demonstrated a combination of service to America and the expansion of Jewish mercantile interests. Born in the 1730s, in Silesia, a Polish region recently brought undr Prussian rule, the Gratz brothers first migrated to London and then to Amsterdam, where they apprenticed with a number of Jewish merchants. By the 1750s the brothers had moved to Philadelphia, where they worked and lived among the city’s Jews, worshiping with the small Jewsh band in a private home on Sterling Alley.
Their American business ventures took them in many directions. As Western men, the Gratz brothers learned an American lesson early on: they realized that fortunes could be made in the vast lands and resources beyond the urban fring. They cast their eyes to the west and participated in numerous effors to plant colonies in the American interior. The brothers established trading posts in what would become Pittsburgh and Louisville and maintained an active interest on the Illinois Com[any, which helped to develop the Midwest for white settlement. For merchants like them, British restrictions on trade west of the Appalachians would have been a disaster, and not surprizxingly, they sided with the patrios supplying arms and clotheing to the American army. They outfitted George Rogers Clark’s expedition to defeat the British in the Northwest, while Virginia officials relied on the Graz brothers to “act for them” in procuring the goods needed for an effective militia.

May 23, 1825: Parson Weems
Portrait of Parson Weems
Mason Locke Weems (October 11, 1759 – May 23, 1825), generally known as Parson Weems, was an American book agent and author. He is best known as the source of some of the apocryphal stories about George Washington. The famous tale of the cherry tree ("I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet") is included in The Life of Washington (1800), Weems' most famous work. This nineteenth-century bestseller depicted Washington's virtues and provided an entertaining and morally instructive tale for the youth of the young nation.[1]
Weems died on May 23, 1825 in Beaufort, South Carolina of unspecified causes. He is buried somewhere on the grounds of Bel Air Plantation[9] near the extinct town of Minnieville in present day Dale City, Prince William County, Virginia. The precise location of his grave and the accompanying cemetery were lost in the mid 20th Century.
In 1911, Lawrence C. Wroth authored Parson Weems; a biographical and critical study; it was his first book.[10]
1808: The Life of Washington is published by Parson Weems in 1808:

Dictionary of Literary Biography on Mason Locke Weems
Parson Weems's claim to a small place in American literary history has often seemed to rest on his having retailed the fabulous story of George Washington and the cherry tree. He is more justly regarded as a writer whose The Life of George Washington (1808) transcends its subgenre. Although this edifying biography's starchy simplicity has drawn the derision of generations, critics who have looked beneath its didactic idiom have found revealing testimony to the needs of a society in transition.
Very little is known of Weems's youth.
Weems, however, was only occasionally at home. Book-peddling had become his livelihood, and he became the author of many of his wares; besides moralistic pamphlets and The Life of George Washington , he wrote exemplary lives of Francis Marion (1809), Benjamin Franklin (1815), and William Penn (1822). He died in Beaufort, South Carolina, on May 23, 1825.
Weems the minister and Weems the peddler were ever at work in Weems the biographer. In his travels as a book purveyor, he saw that the religious and patriotic reading tastes of the new nation might be drawn together and addressed as one. His biographies of the early American heroes became, for Protestant and unchurched readers, equivalents of the sentimental saints' lives popular among some Catholics. His sources were many and varied. He borrowed freely, as in his biography of Franklin, for which he drew heavily on his subject's autobiography. What was new and correct in the life of Marion seems chiefly to have been contributed by the book's intended coauthor, Peter Horry, who withdrew his name when he saw the "romance" that Weems was fashioning. Some of what the biographies tell may be uncritically collected hearsay gathered as his salesman's travels brought Weems into contact with people offering accurate, embellished, or invented memories of his subjects. Much, however, such as the story of the dying Franklin contemplating a picture of Christ, was but his own contrivance. Certainly it was Weems's shameless improvement of history that gave his The Life of George Washington its singular appeal.

On May 23, John Brown, Sr. selected a party to go with him on a private expedition. Captain John Brown, Jr., objected to their leaving his company, but seeing that his father was obdurate, acquiesced, telling him to "do nothing rash." The company consisted of John Brown, four of his sons—Frederick, Owen, Salmon, and Oliver—Thomas Weiner, and James Townsley, whom John had induced to carry the party in his wagon to their proposed field of operations.

May 23, 1861: John Buchanan Floyd having raised a brigade of volunteers for the Confederate army was appointed Brigadier General May 23, 1861. He was in command of forces in West Virginia in 1861 and then was sent to reinforce Albert Sydney Johnston, who sent him to Fort Donelson. Before the surrender of that fort he withdrew his troops, pursuant to an agreement with Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner to whom he turned over the command. President Davis removed him from command without a Court of Inquiry for failure to ask for reinforcements, for not evacuating sooner, and for abandoning command to Buckner and escaping. Two months later, however, he was made a Major General by the Virginia State Line with responsibility for defending the salt mines near Saltville. His death resulted from exposure in the field.
May 23, 1862: Battle of Front Royal, VA.
The siege of Port Hudson began on May 23, 1863. Roughly 30,000 Union troops, under the command of Major General Nathaniel P. Banks, were pitted against 6800 Confederates, under the command of Major Franklin Gardner.

At the Battle of Front Royal on May 23, the First Battle of Winchester on May 25, and finally at the climactic Battle of Port Republic on June 9, Taylor led the 9th Infantry in timely assaults against strong enemy positions. Afterward, he traveled with the rest of Jackson's command to the Peninsula Campaign.

May 23, 1865: Sim Whitsett surrendered at Lexington on May 23, 1865 and took the amnesty oath. Many unionists believed that the guerrillas should be punished, not forgiven. Many were harassed, threatened and some were killed after taking the amnesty oath. Many guerrillas left Missouri and went to Texas. Apparently, Sim went back to Texas immediately after the war. A little later he went to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and worked as a teamster crossing the plains to as far as Fort Laramie, Wyoming. A year or two of that he returned home in Missouri which still showed the scars of the war.

Atelopus longirostris
Atelopus longirostriswas a toad native to the humid forests of northern Ecuador. A. longirostris — named so for it's long snout — has not been recorded since 1989.
The cause of the amphibian's extinction has not been determined, but scientists think chytridiomycosiswas certainly involved. In recent years, the disease chytridiomycosis, which is caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, has become world famous as a frog killer, boasting a 100 percent mortality rate for some amphibian species. Researchers think A. longirostris may have had to contend with climate change and habitat loss, in addition to the deadly disease.
