May 6, 1527: – Charles V’s (nephew of the wife of the brother in law of the 3rd cousin 15 x removed) troops, under the Duke of Bourbon, invade Rome.

May 6, 1536: In what is reputed to be her last letter to King Henry VIII, (7th cousin 15x removed) dated May 6, Anne Boleyn (wife of the 7th cousin 15x removed) wrote:
"Sir,
Your Grace's displeasure, and my imprisonment are things so strange unto me, as what to write, or what to excuse, I am altogether ignorant. Whereas you send unto me (willing me to confess a truth, and so obtain your favour) by such an one, whom you know to be my ancient professed enemy. I no sooner received this message by him, than I rightly conceived your meaning; and if, as you say, confessing a truth indeed may procure my safety, I shall with all willingness and duty perform your demand.
But let not your Grace ever imagine, that your poor wife will ever be brought to acknowledge a fault, where not so much as a thought thereof preceded. And to speak a truth, never prince had wife more loyal in all duty, and in all true affection, than you have ever found in Anne Boleyn: with which name and place I could willingly have contented myself, if God and your Grace's pleasure had been so pleased. Neither did I at any time so far forget myself in my exaltation or received Queenship, but that I always looked for such an alteration as I now find; for the ground of my preferment being on no surer foundation than your Grace's fancy, the least alteration I knew was fit and sufficient to draw that fancy to some other object. You have chosen me, from a low estate, to be your Queen and companion, far beyond my desert or desire. If then you found me worthy of such honour, good your Grace let not any light fancy, or bad council of mine enemies, withdraw your princely favour from me; neither let that stain, that unworthy stain, of a disloyal heart toward your good grace, ever cast so foul a blot on your most dutiful wife, and the infant-princess your daughter. Try me, good king, but let me have a lawful trial, and let not my sworn enemies sit as my accusers and judges; yea let me receive an open trial, for my truth shall fear no open flame; then shall you see either my innocence cleared, your suspicion and conscience satisfied, the ignominy and slander of the world stopped, or my guilt openly declared. So that whatsoever God or you may determine of me, your grace may be freed of an open censure, and mine offense being so lawfully proved, your grace is at liberty, both before God and man, not only to execute worthy punishment on me as an unlawful wife, but to follow your affection, already settled on that party, for whose sake I am now as I am, whose name I could some good while since have pointed unto, your Grace being not ignorant of my suspicion therein. But if you have already determined of me, and that not only my death, but an infamous slander must bring you the enjoying of your desired happiness; then I desire of God, that he will pardon your great sin therein, and likewise mine enemies, the instruments thereof, and that he will not call you to a strict account of your unprincely and cruel usage of me, at his general judgment-seat, where both you and myself must shortly appear, and in whose judgment I doubt not (whatsoever the world may think of me) mine innocence shall be openly known, and sufficiently cleared. My last and only request shall be, that myself may only bear the burden of your Grace's displeasure, and that it may not touch the innocent souls of those poor gentlemen, who (as I understand) are likewise in strait imprisonment for my sake. If ever I found favour in your sight, if ever the name of Anne Boleyn hath been pleasing in your ears, then let me obtain this request, and I will so leave to trouble your Grace any further, with mine earnest prayers to the Trinity to have your Grace in his good keeping, and to direct you in all your actions. From my doleful prison in the Tower, this sixth of May;
Your most loyal and ever faithful wife,
Anne Boleyn"

The Palace of Versailles (English /vɛərˈsaɪ/ vair-SY or /vərˈsaɪ/ vər-SY; French: [vɛʁˈsɑj]), or simply Versailles, is a royal château in Versailles in the Île-de-France region of France. In French it is the Château de Versailles.
When the château was built, Versailles was a country village; today, however, it is a wealthy suburb of Paris, some 20 kilometres southwest of the French capital. The court of Versailles was the center of political power in France from 1682, when Louis XIV (brother in law of the 8th cousin 10x removed) moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in October 1789 after the beginning of the French Revolution. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime.
History[edit]
Main article: History of the Palace of Versailles


The original hunting lodge in 1623
The earliest mention of the name of Versailles is in a document dated 1038, relating to the village of Versailles. In 1575, the seigneury of Versailles was bought by Albert de Gondi, a naturalized Florentine, who invited Louis XIII on several hunting trips in the forests surrounding Versailles. Pleased with the location, Louis ordered the construction of a hunting lodge in 1624. Eight years later, Louis obtained the seigneury of Versailles from the Gondi family and began to make enlargements to the château. This structure would become the core of the new palace.[1] Louis XIII's successor, Louis XIV, had it expanded into one of the largest palaces in the world.[2] Following the Treaties of Nijmegen in 1678, he began to gradually move the court to Versailles. The court was officially established there on May 6, 1682.[3]
After the disgrace of Nicolas Fouquet in 1661, Louis confiscated Fouquet's estate and employed the talents of Le Vau, Le Nôtre, and Le Brun, who all had worked on Fouquet's grand château Vaux-le-Vicomte, for his building campaigns at Versailles and elsewhere. For Versailles, there were four distinct building campaigns.[4]
The four building campaigns (1664–1710)[edit]

May 6, 1716: (1716) "The Rector acquainting the Visitors and Governors that upon Mr. Jackson’s declining to teach the Indian children that he had appointed Mr. Christopher Smith (9th great granduncle) to succeed him in employment and that sd Christopher Smith is hereby approved of as a Master to that sd Indian *** and ordered that he have the same allowance of Sallary that was given to Mr. Jackson.” Mr Jackson was Christopher Jackson. Christopher was probably a teacher before that time. Mr Jackson was paid 50 pounds sterling. The grammer school also educated white children from Williamsburg.(May 6, 1716) On the petition of Christopher Smith, Master to the Indian Children Ord. that, on consideration that there are but few of them now at school, he be allowed 25 pounds per annum, that he have pasturage for his horse, firewood for his chamber and the liberty of teaching such English children as shall be put to him and that a partition be erected at the charge of the College to separate the said English children from the Indians. Masters and Visitors of the College of William and Mary. William and Mary Quarterly, v. 7, page. 235. Williamsburg students paid 20 shillings per annum to attend school.

Christopher's death is commonly given as 1716. William & Mary records indicate that he was not replaced as Indian Master until sometime in 1720 when Reverend Charles Griffin was hired.
The Indian School at William & Mary
There might not have been an Indian School at the College of William & Mary had it had not been for a provision in the will of Sir Robert Boyle, the famous English scientist who died in 1691, two years before the College was chartered.
In his will, Boyle provided that £4,000 sterling should be employed for "pious and charitable uses." Boyle's executors decided to use the funds to purchase Brafferton Manor in Yorkshire, England, and they designated part of the rents paid by the manor's tenants to be given annually to support the Indian School at William & Mary, while another part would go to the Indian School at Harvard College in Massachusetts.
It was most likely in response to the Boyle bequest that language was added to the Royal Charter to list as one of the College’s missions "that the Christian faith may be propagated amongst the Western Indians, to the glory of Almighty God...." In return for annual payments from Boyle's executors, the College would keep "soe many Indian children in Sicknesse and health, in Meat, drink, Washing, Lodgeing, Cloathes, Medicine, books and Education from the first beginning of Letters till they are ready to receive Orders and be thought Sufficient to be sent abroad to preach and Convert the Indians."
Royal Governor Francis Nicholson (1698–1705) enthusiastically anticipated that if "any great [Indian] nation will send 3 or 4 of their children thither" they could be trained in British ways and then "sent back to teach the same things to their own people."
In the beginning, classes were held in temporary quarters and later in the Wren Building; the boys lived with families in town until the Brafferton - funded by the Boyle estate - was constructed in 1723. The school continued, frequently with just a handful of students, until the Boyle funds were discontinued at the time of the American Revolution.
The Virginia colonists tried several strategies for recruiting Indian boys. Governor Nicholson instructed colonists who traded with Indian tribes to look for suitable Indian students. Later, Virginia officials negotiating treaties with Indian tribes such as the Tuscarora, Chickahominy, and Catawba tried to convince the native leaders to send boys to the school. Students came from both local "tributary" tribes—such as the Pamunkey, Chickahominy, and Nansemond who lived fairly close to Williamsburg and paid tribute to the colony—and more distant tribes, including the Catawba in North Carolina, the Cherokee in the southern Appalachian mountains, and the Delaware and Wyandot of the Ohio River Valley. Enrollment reached a height of twenty-four students in 1712, but declined to eight in 1754 and stayed at about that level until the school closed.
Some Native American groups sent their sons to be educated in Williamsburg because they wanted to maintain good relations with the colony. Through the deerskin trade, the English colonists provided them with weapons, cloth, and other goods and materials that the Indians could not make themselves. The Indians wanted envoys who could speak English and understand the colonists' culture. Initially, many of the students at William & Mary’s Indian School were purchased from frontier traders, or sent to Williamsburg as diplomatic hostages to ensure peace with potentially hostile tribes.
The Indian Master was frequently a man who had been educated at William & Mary; several had previously been ushers—or assistants to the master—in the College's classical grammar school. While many of the Indian Masters saw their job only as a stepping stone to greater things, such as a position as minister in a local church, some, such as Emmanuel Jones, held the post for many years. The Indian Master lived with the boys at the Indian School and was permitted to take in white students whom he tutored for a fee.
The Indian School at William & Mary cannot be counted a success by the standards of the Englishman. It failed in the goal of Anglicizing and Christianizing the native populace. As soon as the Indian students left the school, the colonists complained, they abandoned the behaviors they learned at the Brafferton and resumed Indian ways of life. Worse yet, from the colonists' point of view, some Indians used their knowledge of English not to help the Virginians but to defend their tribes' cultures and well-being.
From the Indian perspective, the school may be seen as somewhat more successful. To be sure, many students never returned to their tribes, and a strange diet as well as exposure to European diseases for which they had no immunity sickened and killed several students, especially in the school's early years. But the school's alumni also proved to be invaluable to their native communities. John Nettles, for example, helped his tribe in North Carolina by reading the treaties that the British wrote, and by serving as an interpreter between the Catawba and the British. In the end, the Indian School had the opposite effect to the one intended. Instead of convincing Indians to become good Englishmen, it allowed the Indians to learn enough about British culture to defend their old ways of life.

May 6, 1774: A letter addressed to Col. George Washington by his agent, Valentine Crawford (6th great granduncle), who then lived on Jacob's Creek, near the Youghiogheny River, in Westmoreland County. In that letter (dated Jacob's Creek, May 6, 1774) he says, _
"I am sorry to inform you the Indians have stopped all the gentlemen from going down the river. In the first place they killed one Murphy, a trader, and wounded another, then robbed their canoes. This alarmed the gentlemen very much, and Maj. Cresap took a party of men and waylaid some Indians in their canoes that were going down the river and shot two of them and scalped them. He also raised a party, took canoes and followed some Indians from Wheeling down to the Little Kanawha, when, coming up with them, he killed three and wounded several. The Indians wounded three of his men, only one of whom is dead; he was shot through, while the other two were but slightly wounded. On Saturday last, about twelve o'clock, one Greathouse and about twenty men fell on a party of Indians at the mouth of Yellow Creek and killed ten of them. They brought away one child a prisoner, which is now at my brother, William Crawford's"
On the 8th of May, (May 8) Capt. William Crawford (who lived on the Youghiogheny River nearly opposite the site of the borough of Connellsville) said, in a letter addressed by him to Col. George Washington,_
"The surveyors that went down the Kanawha, as report goes, were stopped by the Shawanese Indians, upon which some of the white people attacked some Indians, and killed several, took thirty horse-loads of skins near the mouth of Scioto; on which news, and expecting an Indian war, Mr. Cresap and some other people fell on some other Indians at the mouth of Pipe Creek, killed three and scalped them. Daniel Greathouse and some others fell on some at the mouth of Yellow Creek, and killed and scalped ten, and took one child about two months old, which is now at my house. I have taken the child from a woman that it had been given to. Our inhabitants are much alarmed, many hundreds having gone over the mountain, and the whole country evacuated as far as the Monongahela, and many on this side of the river are gone over the mountain. In short, a war is every moment expected. We have a council now with the Indians. What the event will be I do not know. I am now setting out for Fort Pitt at the head of one hundred men. Many others are to meet me there and at Wheeling, where we shall wait the motions of the Indians and act accord­ingly."
The settlers along the frontiers, and in all the territory that now forms the counties of Washington:County and Greene, were in a state of the wildest alarm, well knowing that the Indians would surely make war in revenge for the killing of their people at Captina and Yellow Creek, and most of them immediately sought safety, either in block-houses or by abandoning their settlements and flying eastward across the Monongahela and many across the Allegheny Mountains. Valentine Crawford, in his letter of May 6th to Col. Washington (before quoted from), said, "This alarm has caused the people to move from over the Monongahela, off Chartiers and Raccoon [Creeks], as fast as you ever saw them in the year 1756 or 1757 down in Frederick County, Virginia. There were more than one thousand people crossed the Monongahela in one day at three ferries that are not one mile apart."
The general alarm among the inhabitants was well founded. The Indians, burning to revenge the killing of their people on the Ohio, particularly at Captina and Yellow Creek, at once took the warpath and ranged eastward to and across the Monongahela, burning, plundering, and killing.

Valentine Crawford to George Washington
JACOB’S CREEK, May 6, 1774.
DEAR COLONEL :—I am sorry to inform you that the disturbance between the white people and the Indians has prevented my going down the river; as all the gentlemen who went down are returned, and most of them have lost their baggage, as I wrote more particular in my other letter. I will refer you to my brother’s letter for the news.
I got my canoes and all my provisions ready, and should have set off in two or three days but for this eruption, which I believe was as much the white people’s fault as the Indians. It has almost ruined all the settlers over the Monongahela, as they run as bad as they did in the year 1756 and 1757, down in Frederick county. There were more than one thousand people crossed the Monongahela in one day. I thought it, therefore; dangerous to go down with so much of your property, and so came to a resolution to send my son down to you to know what I must do with your servants and goods, and how I must act
with your hirelings.
As to the goods, I have stored them; and I went to Mr. Simpson-as soon as I came up, and offered him some of the carpenters and all the servants; but he refused taking them—the latter, for fear they would run away; he has, however, now agreed to take some of both: the carpenters to do the framing for the mill, and the servants to dig the race. Stephens has agreed to quit, provided the Indians make peace, and you will employ him again. He has all his tools here, and it would be out of his power to get them back again, as he has no means of conveyance.
I am afraid I shall be obliged to build a fort until this eruption is over, which I am in hopes will not last long. I trust you will write me full instructions as to what I must do. Mr. Simpson, yesterday, seemed very much scared; but I cheered him up all I could. He and his laborers seemed to conclude to build a fort, if times grew any worse. I am building a kind of blockhouse myself; and have employed some of your carpenters to help me, which I will settle with you for. I have run you to as little cost as possible for provisions, as our journey is stopped; but if peace should be made soon, I shall provide more, as I have my canoes ready, unless you order me to the contrary when my son returns.
As you are largely bail for me, and kindly went my security to the sheriff, I have sent you a bill of sale of my land I live on for fear of accidents in war; as you are the last man in the world I should choose to be loser by me. In case 1 can not go down the river for you, if you should choose to sell the servants, my brother, William Crawford, wants two of them; but if there is the least chance of going, I am ready and willing to serve you to the best of my ability. I am, etc.
Of the people who emigrated form the east to settle west of the Laurel Hill prior to 1780, a large proportion were form Virginia and Maryland, and many of them who had held slaves east of the mountains brought those slaves with them to their new homes in the West, for at that time the laws of Pennsylvania recognized and tolerated the”peculiar institution” as fully as did those of Virginia. Among these were the Crawfords, Stevensons, Harrisons, McCormicks, Vance, Wilson, and others. Frequent allusions to these “servants” are found in letters addressed to Col. Washington in 1774 and 1775 by Valentine Crawford, who resided on Jacob’s Creek, and acted as general agent in charge of Washington’s lands and affairs of improvement in this region. (See Jacob’s Creek, May 7, 1774.)
May 6, 1780: Battle of Lenud's Ferry - May 6, 1780.

May 6, 1789: Memorandum--That Letters Testamentary in Common Form were granted unto Isaac Sparks and John Allen Esq. same day Inventory to be exhibited the 6th day of June next And an Accurate Calculation and Reckoning on the sixth day of May (May 6)1789 thereunto Lawfully required.
NOTES ON WILLIAM SPARKS (DIED 1788)
By Russell E. Bidlack
Fayette County, where William Sparks was living at the time of his death in 1788, is located in the southwest corner of Pennsylvania; it borders West Virginia on the south, Green County, Pennsylvania, on the west, Washington and Westmore land Counties on the north, and Somerset County on the east. Franklin Township is in the northern portion of Fayette County; Redstone Creek separates it from Redstone Township on the south-east. The following additional townships adjoin Franklin Township: Menallen, also on the south-east; North Union on the south; Dunbar on the west; Lower Tyrone and Perry on the north, and Jefferson on the north-west. The Youghiogheny River flows between Franklin Township and Lower Tyrone Township.
Fayette County was created in 1783, being cut off that year from Westmoreland County; Westmoreland County had been created in 1773, being cut off that year from Bedford County.
Volume 3 of the Horn Papers compiled by W. F. Horn and published in 1945, consists of detailed maps of the original farms in Fayette, Greene, and Washington Counties. These maps were drawn by Mr. Horn on the basis of the original warrantees and patentees. William Sparks's farm, which he described in his will, is clearly shown on Horn's map of Franklin Township. (A portion of this map showing William Sparks's farm and the farms around him has been copied and appears on the following page.)
A number of the farms in the area where William Sparks lived were given names by their owners. William Sparks called his tract of land 'Choice.' The custom of giving names to tracts of land was common in Maryland and those settlers in Pennsylvania who followed this custom were often from Maryland. For this and other reasons, it seems highly probable that William Sparks was originally from Maryland.
In Madison County, Ohio, at London, in the original surveys, page 2, no. 1020, part of Military Warrant No. 22, on West Fork of Deer Creek, called for 1,000 acres to Uriah Springer. (husband of the 5th great grandmother).
Surveyed by Duncan McArthur
Frederick Zimmerman
Joseph Bowman, C. C.
Isaac M. Riley, M. May 6, 1801-March 4, 1802.
Since Uriah Springer was the Power of Attorney for Moses Crawford, Sr. (Son of Lt. John Crawford and grandson of Col. William Crawford), this may have been the stretch of land Moses was entitled to. Probably was sold by Uriah Springer and the amount turned over to Moses Crawford, Sr., as part of his share. (See letter of Richard Crawford, written to his Uncle David Bradford).
Uriah Springer, (who was Power of Attorney to Moses Crawford’s share of Lt. John Crawford’s estate), had a son , Uriah Springer. The records of Brown County, Ohio, indicate that young Uriah Springer was collecting bounty lands belonging to his own father, (who was the second husband of Sarah, daughter of Col William Crawford). Uriah
Springer, Sr. ranked as a Captain. Here a transaction, involving Robert and Joseph Wardlow, concerning a United States patent. Pages 332, 333 and 334. Young Uriah Springer was a Justice of the Peace and he and his wife Nancy, lived at Williamsburg (which is in present Clermont County, Ohio). On East Fork of the Little Miami River, and where many of the early transactions were recorded. Note: the relationship between young Uriah springer and Moses Crawford, Sr., would be first cousins, since Moses’ father, John, was brother to young Uriah’s mother, Sarah.
At Circleville, Ohio, in Pickaway County (formed in 1810), Warrant no. 223, Uriah Springer, 700 acres. Surveyed about 1901 on no. 914 which no. belongs to Uriah Springer, St.
May 6, 1828 – A delegation from the Cherokee Nation West, including Sequoyah, travels to Washington City where they were pressured into signing the Treaty of Washington. The Cherokee Nation West cedes its lands in Arkansas Territory for lands in what becomes Indian Territory, though many remain for some time in Arkansas. Once there, they adopt a constitution similar to that adopted by the Cherokee Nation East.
May 6, 1833: As was the custom at the time, the Royal Arch degree was probably conferred by a blue lodge. Andrew Jackson contributed $35.00 in 1818 to the erection of a Masonic temple in Nashville; requested two Lodges to perform funeral services; introduced Lafayette to the Grand Lodge of Tennessee in 1825; while president, assisted Washington's mother lodge to lay a cornerstone of a monument to Washington's mother in Fredericksburg, Va. (May 6, 1833); assisted in the Masonic laying of the cornerstone of Jackson City (across the river from Washington, D.C.) on January 11, 1836; attended the Grand Lodge of Tennessee in 1839; and the same year visited Cumberland Chapter No. 1 of Nashville to assist in the installation of officers. d. June 8, 1845.
May 6, 1833: The first attempt to do bodily harm to a President was against Jackson. Jackson ordered the dismissal of Robert B. Randolph from the Navy for embezzlement. On May 6, 1833, Jackson sailed on USS Cygnet to Fredericksburg, Virginia, where he was to lay the cornerstone on a monument near the grave of Mary Ball Washington, George Washington's mother. During a stopover near Alexandria, Virginia, Randolph appeared and struck the President. He then fled the scene with several members of Jackson's party chasing him, including the well known writer Washington Irving. Jackson decided not to press charges.
May 6, 1861: Arkansas secedes from the Union.

May 6, 1862: Battle of Williamsburg, VA.


May 6, 1863: In late April Robert E. Lee moved toward Cancellorsville, just west of Fredericksburg; between April 30th and May 6th Lee stopped Joe Hooker in the series of conflicts known collectively as the Battle of Chancellorsville, though at the cost of the May 2nd mortal wounding of Stonewall Jackson in a friendly fire incident. Lee next marched into Pennsylvania to meet the Union Army under its new commander George Meade. The entire operation which culminated in the Battle of Gettysburg was controversial at the time and will likely remain so forever, with whole books written about each day and questions asked as to whether he should have replaced Jackson with Richard Ewell, whether he should have followed Longstreet's suggestions, whether he should have ordered Pickett's Charge, and indeed whether he should have gone north in the first place. In the aftermath Meade was unable to persue as the victorious army was in virtually as bad a condition as the defeated one. Once back in Virginia Lee's health was poor, and knowing he bore the onus of failure he offered to resign. The President, however, had nobody to replace him with. Interestingly, Gettysburg was not then seen as "final" in the way later generations viewed it thus Lee again reorganized and in the spring of 1864 staged the Wilderness Campaign, initially without Longstreet who after Gettysburg had been temporarily detached to General Braxton Bragg in Tennessee. Victories he won, albeit with the loss of men and supplies he could not replace; his main problem, however, was that the Union Army was now under the command of General U.S. Grant, thus denying to Lee the advantage of fighting the timid or incompetent.

May 6, 1863: We broke camp on the morning of the 6th and reached Rocky Springs early in the same day, a very small village, having originally but one trading store and few dwellings. Here about one and one-half days' rations were issued, the first that had been received by the command since leaving Bruinsburg. Next day we were advanced about three miles to a place called Big Sandy, and took position in readiness for an attack, which it was rumored would soon be made.

May 6, 1910:
George V inherited the throne from his father, Edward VII, after his father died on May 6, 1910. His older brother Prince Albert Victor died from influenza in 1892, making George heir apparent when his father, Edward VII, came to the throne.
George V held the titles of King of the United Kingdom, Emperor of India and King of the British Dominions, and was the first monarch of the House of Windsor. He changed the name of his Royal House during World War I and also relinquished all German titles.
George V was a conventional character, unlike his rather flamboyant father, and enjoyed stamp collecting. His wife, Mary Teck, had previously been engaged to his older brother.
His reign is known for the Statute of Westminster, which prepared the way for the creation of the Commonwealth by separating the dominions into separate kingdoms, the first Labour ministry in the UK and the rise of Irish Republicanism, communism and fascism.

Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919) was an American author of children's books, best known for writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels, and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost" novels, 83 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts,[1] and many miscellaneous writings), and made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen. His works anticipated such century-later commonplaces as television, augmented reality, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).
Baum's childhood and early life
Baum was born in Chittenango, New York, in 1856, into a devout Methodist family. He had German, Scots-Irish, and English ancestry, and was the seventh of nine children of Cynthia Ann (née Stanton) and Benjamin Ward Baum, only five of whom survived into adulthood.[2][3] He was named "Lyman" after his father's brother, but always disliked this name, and preferred to go by his middle name, "Frank".[4]
Benjamin Baum was a wealthy businessman, originally a barrel maker, who had made his fortune in the oil fields of Pennsylvania. Baum grew up on his parents' expansive estate, Rose Lawn, which he always remembered fondly as a sort of paradise.[5] As a young child, he was tutored at home with his siblings, but at the age of 12, he was sent to study at Peekskill Military Academy. He was a sickly child given to daydreaming, and his parents may have thought he needed toughening up. But after two utterly miserable years at the military academy, he was allowed to return home.[6] Frank Joslyn Baum, in his biography, To Please a Child, claimed that this was following an incident described as a heart attack, though there is no contemporary evidence of this (and much evidence that material in Frank J.'s biography was fabricated).[citation needed]
Baum started writing at an early age, perhaps due to an early fascination with printing. His father bought him a cheap printing press; which, with the help of his younger brother Henry (Harry) Clay Baum, with whom he had always been close, he used to produce The Rose Lawn Home Journal. The brothers published several issues of the journal, which included advertisements, perhaps which they may have sold. Rose Lawn was located in Mattydale, New York. The house burned down in the 1950s, and is now the site of an abandoned skating rink. The only remains of Rose Lawn are a few concrete steps, located behind the building.[citation needed] By the time he was 17, Baum established a second amateur journal, The Stamp Collector, printed an 11-page pamphlet called Baum's Complete Stamp Dealers' Directory, and started a stamp dealership with friends.[7]
At the age of 20, Baum took on a new vocation: the breeding of fancy poultry, a national craze at the time. He specialized in raising a particular breed of fowl, the Hamburg.
May 6, nine days short of his 63rd birthday. At the end he mumbled in his sleep, then said, "Now we can cross the Shifting Sands."[according to whom?] He was buried in Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery.[29]
May 6, 1926: In 1883, the Commonwealth of Kentucky placed a fifty-foot monument in his honor near his grave; it is topped by a life-sized statue of Taylor. By the 1920s, the Taylor family initiated the effort to turn the Taylor burial grounds into a national cemetery. The Commonwealth of Kentucky donated two pieces of land for the project, turning the half-acre Taylor family cemetery into 16 acres (65,000 m2). On May 6, 1926, the remains of Taylor and his wife (who died in 1852) were moved to the newly constructed Taylor mausoleum nearby. (It was made of limestone with a granite base, with a marble interior.) The cemetery property has been designated as the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery.[73]
Assassination theories[edit]
Almost immediately after his death, rumors began to circulate that Taylor was poisoned by pro-slavery Southerners, and similar theories persisted into the twentieth century.[74] In 1978, Hamilton Smith based his assassination theory on the timing of drugs, the lack of confirmed cholera outbreaks, and other material.[75] In the late 1980s, Clara Rising, a former professor at University of Florida, persuaded Taylor's closest living relative to agree to an exhumation so that his remains could be tested.[76]
May 6, 1927: Rossie Mae Hogeland (b. May 6, 1927).
May 6, 1937: The Hindenburg disaster took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, as the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, which is located adjacent to the borough of Lakehurst, New Jersey. Of the 97 people on board[N 1] (36 passengers, 61 crew), there were 35 fatalities as well as one death among the ground crew.
The disaster was the subject of spectacular newsreel coverage, photographs, and Herbert Morrison's recorded radio eyewitness report from the landing field, which was broadcast the next day. The actual cause of the fire remains unknown, although a variety of hypotheses have been put forward for both the cause of ignition and the initial fuel for the ensuing fire. The incident shattered public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship and marked the end of the airship era.[1]
