September 7, 1159: Pope Adrian IV dies, September 7, Pope Alexander III appointed (Rolando Bandinelli). [1]

1160: death of Eric the Saint of Sweden, Normans expelled from North Africa, “Tristan et Iseult” written by Beroul and Thomas, “Jeu de St. Nicholas” written by Jean Bodel and performed on St. Nicholas Day, “Ludus de Antichristo” written in Bavaria, time of Anglo-Latin poet Walter Map, Laon Cathedral begun, Tula the Toltec city destroyed by the Chichimec tribe. [2]

1160: Conrad was the second son of Marquis William V of Montferrat, "the Elder", and his wife Judith of Babenberg. He was a first cousin of Frederick Barbarossa, Holy Roman Emperor, Louis VII of France and Leopold V of Austria.

Conrad was born in Montferrat, which is now a region of Piedmont, in northwest Italy. The exact place and year are unknown. He is first mentioned in a charter in 1160, when serving at the court of his maternal uncle, Conrad, Bishop of Passau, later Archbishop of Salzburg. (He may have been named after him, or after his mother's half-brother, Conrad III of Germany.)[3]

September 7, 1200: Pope Innocent III (ruled 1198–1216) declared Philip Augustus's marriage to Agnes of Merania null and void, as he was still married to Isambour. He ordered the King to part from Agnès; when he did not, the Pope placed France under an interdict in 1199. This continued until September 7, 1200. Due to pressure from the Pope and from Ingeborg's brother, King Valdemar II of Denmark (ruled 1202–41), Philip finally took Isambour back as his wife in 1213.[4]

September 7, 1191: During the Third Crusade, King Richard, the Lionhearted, captured Jaffa but throughout the remainder of 1191 and into the summer of 1192, he was unable to realize his ultimate goal of recapturing Jerusalem. Richard was facing Saladin, the Muslim leader who readmitted the Jews to Jerusalem in 1190. Richard would leave the Holy Land and end up in an Austrian dungeon. His brother Prince John would pillage the English people to raise the ransom; the Jewish people were a special target for the Richard’s avoricious brother who would one day become King of England.[5]

November 11, 1191: Richard set out from Jaffa to Jerusalem. He had run out of options and now had to follow a course of action about which he had grave doubts.[6]

1192: Truce between Richard I and Saladin ends 3rd Crusade, British crusaders raid Saracen territory, Richard begins return to England, end of Fujiwaras as ruling family in Japan, Richard I returns from the Crusade and is captured by Leopold, Duke of Austria, Dukedom of Styria becomes part of the Babenberg realm of Austria, rebuilding of Bamberg Cathedral, Shogun rule in Japan begins as hereditary positions under Minamoto Yoritomo, Richard the Lionhearted recaptures Jaffa leaves Palestine – end of third crusade, Richard of England enters peace with Saladin providing passage to Christians, Richard gets agreement for Christians to pilgrimage to Jerusalem, is recognized in Austrian inn, captured and given to Henry VI of Germany, 100,000 mark ransom. demanded, End of third crusade,Cyprus reclaimed in 3rd crusade, Peace between England's Richard the Lion Hearted and Saladin.

September 7, 1548: The Queen died on September 7, 1548 at Sudley Castle. She was buried at Chelsea. Queen Katherine Parr was mourned by her stepchildren, by Lady Jane Grey, and all who had known her. [10][11]



1549: Donald Munro, High Dean of the Isles, in his A Description of the Western Isles of Scotland Called Hybrides, in 1549, described the Mackinnon controlled lands at that time. On Skye were the lands of "Straytsnardill" (Strathairdle, of which later Mackinnon chiefs were designated), and "the castill of Dunnakyne perteining to Mackynnoun; the castill Dunringill, perteining to the said Mackynnoun".[23] Munro also described the neighbouring island of Pabay as follows, "At the shore of Sky foresaid, lyes ane iyle callit Pabay, neyre ane myle in lenthe, full of woodes, guid for fishing, and a main shelter for thieves and cut-throats. It perteins to M’Kynnoun".[23] Of the island of Mull, Monro stated that, "this iyle pertains pairtly to M’Gillayne of Doward, pairtly to M’Gillayne of Lochbowy, pairtly to M’Kynnoun, and pairtly to the Clandonald of awld".[23][12][13]

1549: When Lord High Admiral Thomas Seymour was executed for treason in 1549, baby Mary was taken in by her mother's friend, Lady Suffolk. She is thought to have died in childhood.

Queen Katherine Parr was the only one of Henry VIII's wives to have survived him. She also has the questionable distinction of being England's most-married Queen. All who knew her praised her for her learning, her character, her godliness, gentleness and charity. She had great talent as a writer, and had she lived two hundred years later, she may have been a formidable presence. Yet perhaps her most lasting legacy was her shaping and nurturing of the learning and character of the little girl who would bring England to another Golden Age: the girl who would become Queen Elizabeth I.[14]



1549:** The first ‘Book of Common Prayer’ is published by Cramner and is made compulsory by the Act of Uniformity. [15]

September 7, 1533

On September 7, 1533 Queen Elizabeth was born[16] at Greenwich Palace. [17]

Anne was pregnant with Elizabeth (born on September 7, 1533) when she and Henry hastily and secretly wed to be married when Anne was crowned queen in June 1533, since any child born before she was queen would not be able to succeed to the throne.

Various are the opinions of scholars and historians as to how deep Anne's commitment to the Reformation was, how much was she perhaps only personally ambitious, and how much she had to do with Henry's defiance of Papal power. There is anecdotal evidence, related to biographer George Wyatt by her former lady-in-waiting Anne Gainsford,[52] that Anne brought to Henry's attention a heretical pamphlet, perhaps Tyndale's "The Obedience of a Christian Man" or one by Simon Fish called "Supplication for Beggars," which cried out to monarchs to rein in the evil excesses of the Catholic Church. She was sympathetic to those seeking further reformation of the Church, and actively protected scholars working on English translations of the scriptures. According to Marie Dowling, "Anne tried to educate her waiting-women in scriptural piety” and is believed to have reproved her cousin, Mary Shelton, for “having 'idle poesies' written in her prayer book.”[53] If Cavendish is to be believed, Anne's outrage at Wolsey may have personalised whatever philosophical defiance she brought with her from France. Further, the most recent edition of Ives's biography admits that Anne may very well have had a personal spiritual awakening in her youth which spurred her on, not just as catalyst but expediter for Henry's Reformation, though the process took a number of years.[18]

After her coronation, Anne settled into a quiet routine at the King's favourite residence, Greenwich Palace, to prepare for the birth of her baby. The child was born slightly premature on September 7, 1533. Between three and four in the afternoon, Anne gave birth to a girl, who was christened Elizabeth, probably in honour of either or both Anne's mother Elizabeth Howard and Henry's mother, Elizabeth of York.[84] But the birth of a girl was a heavy blow to her parents, since they had confidently expected a boy. All but one of the royal physicians and astrologers had predicted a son for them and the French king had already been asked to stand as his godfather. Now the prepared letters announcing the birth of a prince had an s hastily added to them to read princes[s] and the traditional tournament for the birth of an heir was cancelled.[85][86]

On September 7, 1533 Anne Boleyn gave birth to the future Queen Elizabeth I, whose gender disappointed Henry. However, he was not entirely discouraged, for he said that a son would surely follow and professed to love Elizabeth.[20]

Elizabeth I (September 7, 1533 – March 24, 1603) was queen regnant of England and Ireland from November 17, 1558 until her death. Sometimes called "The Virgin Queen", "Gloriana" or "Good Queen Bess", Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. The daughter of Henry VIII, she was born a princess, but her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed two and a half years after her birth, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. Her half-brother, Edward VI, bequeathed the crown to Lady Jane Grey, cutting his two half-sisters, Elizabeth and the Catholic Mary, out of the succession in spite of statute law to the contrary. His will was set aside, Mary became queen, and Lady Jane Grey was executed. In 1558, Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister, during whose reign she had been imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels.

Elizabeth set out to rule by good counsel,[1] and she depended heavily on a group of trusted advisers led by William Cecil, Baron Burghley. One of her first moves as queen was the establishment of an English Protestant church, of which she became the Supreme Governor. This Elizabethan Religious Settlement later evolved into today's Church of England. It was expected that Elizabeth would marry and produce an heir so as to continue the Tudor line. She never did, however, despite numerous courtships. As she grew older, Elizabeth became famous for her virginity, and a cult grew up around her which was celebrated in the portraits, pageants, and literature of the day.

In government, Elizabeth was more moderate than her father and half-siblings had been.[2] One of her mottoes was "video et taceo" ("I see, and say nothing").[3] In religion she was relatively tolerant, avoiding systematic persecution. After 1570, when the pope declared her illegitimate and released her subjects from obedience to her, several conspiracies threatened her life. All plots were defeated, however, with the help of her ministers' secret service. Elizabeth was cautious in foreign affairs, moving between the major powers of France and Spain. She only half-heartedly supported a number of ineffective, poorly resourced military campaigns in the Netherlands, France, and Ireland. In the mid-1580s, war with Spain could no longer be avoided, and when Spain finally decided to attempt to conquer England in 1588, the failure of the Spanish Armada associated her with one of the greatest military victories in English history.

Elizabeth's reign is known as the Elizabethan era, famous above all for the flourishing of English drama, led by playwrights such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe, and for the seafaring prowess of English adventurers such as Sir Francis Drake. Some historians are more reserved in their assessment. They depict Elizabeth as a short-tempered, sometimes indecisive ruler,[4] who enjoyed more than her share of luck. Towards the end of her reign, a series of economic and military problems weakened her popularity. Elizabeth is acknowledged as a charismatic performer and a dogged survivor, in an age when government was ramshackle and limited and when monarchs in neighbouring countries faced internal problems that jeopardised their thrones. Such was the case with Elizabeth's rival, Mary, Queen of Scots, whom she imprisoned in 1568 and eventually had executed in 1587. After the short reigns of Elizabeth's half-siblings, her 44 years on the throne provided welcome stability for the kingdom and helped forge a sense of national identity.[2]



Early life




Elizabeth was the only child of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, who did not bear a male heir and was executed less than three years after Elizabeth's birth.

1551: Bishop Edmund Becke’s Bible.[24]



1551: Jews expelled from Bavaria.[25] The few Jews remaining in the duchy of Bavaria were expelled. Subsequently, Jewish settlement in Bavaria ceased until toward the end of the 17th century, when a small community was founded in Sulzbach by refugees from Vienna.[1][2] [26]

AD 1551: - Russian Orthodox council authorizes Sabbath worship in Russian churches.[27]

September 7, 1571: – Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk is arrested for plotting to assassinate Elizabeth and replace her with Mary Queen of Scots, known as the Ridolfi plot. [28]

September 7, 1572: She sends Killigrew to Scotland, under the pretext of deliberating upon the means of restoring peace in that kingdom, and gives him secret instructions to propose the delivery

of the Queen of Scots to her rebellious subjects ;^ but on condition, 1st. That they shall make a demand to that effect ; 2ndly. That Mary shall be put to death as soon as she arrives in Scotland ; and

3rdly. That the name of Elizabeth shall not appear in this negotiation. [29]



September 7, 1654: Twenty-three of the Jews aboard one of these ships eventually arrived in New Amsterdam (New Netherland/New York) on September 7, 1654. There are at least two versions of the story of how these Jews came to settle in New Amsterdam. One version is that the original ship was captured by pirates at one point. The Jews were subsequently taken aboard the French ship the St. Charles, and this ship brought them to New Amsterdam. According to Wiznitzer, there was no capture by pirates. Instead, the Jews were driven by adverse winds to Spanish-held Jamaica. From there they boarded the small French frigate, Sainte Catherine, which took them to New Amsterdam.”[30] Jews expelled from Recife, Brazil, forced to leave by the Catholic Portuguese. THESE WERE THE FIRST JEWS IN AMERICA, the sefardins, who settled in Manhattan.[2][31] Arriving in what was then Called New Amsterdam, they became the pioneers of the American Jewish community. They arrived on a French frigate called the St. Catherine. Their unofficial leader was Asser Levy. Governor Peter Stuyvesant did not want the Jews to remain. Eventually they were allowed to stay with the stipulations that “The poor among them shall not become a burden to the community, but be supported by their own nation.” This statement would find fulfillment in a variety of Jewish immigrant aid societies and other such philanthropic endeavors. [1][32]

September 7, 1769; Dined alone. Val Crawford’s wagon[34] came up for my goods in the evening.[35]

September 7, 1771; Rid into the Neck in the morning early from thence to the mill. Mr. Crawford came here in the afternoon.[36]

September (September 7), 1774: Colonel Christian wrote Colonel Preston that Colonel Lewis said that the number of men who had come to the camp exceeded his expectations, and that not more than 100 more men should be sent from Fincastle County to join the expedition. John Floyd and others were still engaged in enlisting companies of men to go on the campaign; and Colonel Lewis was afraid he could not secure and convey enough provisions for the subsistence of the number of men that had already assembled. There was another serious trouble upon Colonel Lewis. He had a small supply of powder, only one-fourth of a pound for each man who carried a gun, about six shots to the man. This was a very small supply of powder for such a dangerous expedition, and shows how desperately daring were the mountaineer pioneers. No doubt Colonel Lewis recalled the Sandy Expedition of 1756, which was under his command and had to endure such terrible hardships from a lack of provisions and ammunition. He wisely determined to take no more men with this expedition, his second effort to reach the Shawnee towns, than could be furnished with ample supplies of provisions and ammunition. From a report made to Colonel Preston, Lewis then had with him about 1400 men. His little army was composed of volunteers and militia from the counties of Augusta, Botetourt and Fincastle, a company of volunteers from Culpeper County, commanded by Colonel John Field, and a company from Bedford County, under the command of Captain Thomas Buford. The men from Augusta were commanded by Colonel Charles Lewis, brother of Colonel Andrew Lewis; the Botetourt troops by Colonel William Fleming; and those from Fincastle by Colonel William Christian, as previously related. [37]

The army marched past Newark and toward morning on the 8th crossed the White Clay Creek, which was surrounded on both sides by steep, rocky heights that formed a most frightful defile half an hour in length.[38][39]

September 7 - September 18, 1778: Siege of Boonesborough [40]

-September 7, 1780

On 7 September Ferguson invaded North Carolina and occupied Gilbert Town. Many of the locals appeared to rally to him and came to take the oath of allegiance to the Crown…. Three days later, on September 10, Ferguson left with his troops in the hope of intercepting Elijah Clarke, who wassupposed to be withdrawing northward after an unsuccessful attempt to capture Augusta. He failed to find Clarke and returned to encamp at Old Fort, twenty-two miles northwest of Gilbert Town. Things appeared to be quiet throughout the area. Beyond the Blue Ridge, however, and unknown to Fergfuson, things were stirring.

Ferguson himself was the unwitting cause of the activity. Just before leavingv on September 10 he had paroled Samuel Phillips, one of the prisoners taken at Musgrov’s Mill, ande sent him with a message to Colonel Shelby. The message was in effect an ultimatiuum stating that if Shelby and other rebels of his ilk did not “desist from their opposition to the British arms and take protection under his standard, he would march his army over the mountains, hang their leader, and lay their country wast with fire and sword” (Dyeman, With Fire and Sword). Seldom did a message have a more opposite e effect from that intended. Far from bvgeing cowed by Ferguson’s threats, the “fire and sword proclamation” was circulated rapidley and widely amont the over-mountain men, who had already decided that the best way to protect their homes and families was to get Ferguson before he could get them. To transform that decision into action, the partisan leaders had sent out the call for volunteers on both sides of the Blue Ridge. Ferguson’s ultimatum now served to turn that call into action .

No doubt carrying Ferguson’s message in his pocket, Isaac Shelby rode to meet with Colonel Sohn Sevier, knownb across the frontier as “Nolichucky Jack,” the Indian fighter whose home was on the Nolichucky River, west of the mountains. Their final call for armed men went out to famous leaders such as Colonel William Campbell of Virginia and Colonels Charles McDowell and Benjamin Cleveland, whose men rode on bothe sides of the Carolinas’ border. The call named the rendezvous point as Sycamore Shoals on the Watuga River, near present-day Elizabethton, Tennessee.

Out of the 1,800 who joined up, Shelby’s and Sevier’s men counted as only the initial 480. What the overmountain men shoul be given credit for is forming the nucleaus of e volunteer force that fought at Kings Mountain.

Over-mountain men or not, all of the Patriot fighters were a tough lot. In his Moirs of the War in the Southern Department of the United States, Light-Horse Harry Lee later referred to them as “a hardy race of men, who were familiar with the horse and rifle, were stout, active, patient under privation, and brave. Irregular in their movements [as opposed to the marches and maneuvers of regular units], and unaccustomed to restraint, they delighted in the fury of action, but pined under the servitude and inactivity of camp.”

They came to Sycamore Shoals, many with their families, but each with horse and rifle. That weapon was one of the most prized possessions of the frontiersman. Most of them carried the so-called Kentucky, or long rifle, of the type made by Jacob Dickert of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.[41]

The caliber was usually .50 but could vary from.35 to .60, and it had a barrel from thirty-six to forty-eight inches long with a fifling twist of ab out one turn in forty-eight. It was called a long rifle because its overall length varied between fifty and sixty inches. It was a muzzle-loading flintlock with surprising accuracy up to about 300 yards. It fired a round lead ball whch was rammed home with a greased patch., thus making the ball fit tightly agiasnt the rifleing, which gave the ball its spin; the spin in turn gave the ball its velocity and accuracy. The rifle had the disadvantage of slowness in loading, a trained soldier with his muket could fire from three to five rounds while the rifleman was firing one, and the fact that it could not be fitted with a bayonet. Those disadvantages, however, meant little to the backwoodsman, because the rifle was ideal for its purposes; hunting and Indian fighting. For had-to hand combat the frontiersman had learned from the Indians to carry a tomahawk or knife.

Of the more than 1,000 mounted riflemen who assembled at Sycamore Shoals on September 25, Shelby and Sevier brought 240 each. Colonel William Campbell, a towerning, red-haired Scot carrying the family’s Highland broadsword, came in with 400 Virginians. Colonel Charles McDowell arrived with 160 of his North Carolinians. The majority of those present brought their womenfolk and children, who came to see fathers, sons, or brothers off to the war. The gathering had a gala air. As Dykeman recounts: “The men talked and planned and prepared. AZnd the women cooked, made last minute patches or polishedings on clothing or equipment, and they talked and worried over the dangers” (With Fire and Sword). [42]

Internment camps[edit]




Fort Marr Blockhouse in Benton, Tennessee, is the last surviving remnant of the forts used to intern the Cherokee in preparation for their removal to Indian Territory.

The deaths and desertions in the Army's boat detachments caused Gen Scott to suspend the Army's Removal efforts, and the remaining Cherokees were put into eleven internment camps, mostly located near Ross' Landing (now Chattanooga, TN) and at Red Clay, Bedwell Springs, Chatata, Mouse Creek, Rattlesnake Springs, Chestooe, and Calhoun (site of the former Cherokee Agency) located within Bradley County, TN and one camp (Fort Payne) in Alabama.

Cherokees remained in the camps during the summer of 1838 and were plagued by dysentery and other illnesses, which led to 353 deaths. A group of Cherokees petitioned General Scott for a delay until cooler weather made the journey less hazardous. This was granted; meanwhile Chief Ross, finally accepting defeat, managed to have the remainder of the removal turned over to the supervision of the Cherokee Council. Although there were some objections within the U.S. government because of the additional cost, General Scott awarded a contract for removing the remaining 11,000 Cherokees under the supervision of Principal Chief Ross, with expenses to be paid by the Army.

Reluctant removal[edit]

Chief John Ross organized 12 wagon trains, each with about 1000 persons and conducted by veteran full-blood tribal leaders or educated mixed bloods. Each wagon train was assigned physicians, interpreters (to help the physicians), commissaries, managers, wagon masters, teamsters, and even grave diggers. Chief Ross also purchased the steamboat "Victoria" in which his own and tribal leaders' families could travel in some comfort. Lewis Ross, the Chief's brother, was the main contractor and furnished forage, rations, and clothing for the wagon trains. Although this arrangement was an improvement for all concerned, disease and exposure still took many lives. This is the part of the Removal usually identified as The "Trail of Tears." [56]

September 7th, 1862, 24th Iowa Soldiers Letter, written from "Camp Strong", near Muscatine, Iowa.
Excellent camp letter written by Private John B. Howard to his sister. Here are a few highlights: "I have just returned from preachin which we had on the camp ground...there was about one thousand men present The whole of the Twenty Fourth regiment was there Captain Vinson delivered a sermon...if we ever get where there is any Rebels that Uncle Sam will furnish this regiment with plenty of ammunition and we will give them plenty of sore heads if they don't get out of the way...there is five brass bands and five or six drums and fifes...". Overall a very interesting camp letter from early war Iowa! Sadly Howard would die of disease in June of 1863.
In fine condition, with wear as shown in the scan.

GA) married Gladys Louise Mains (b. September 7, 1901 in Cumberland Co. MA / d. April 1981 in Henry Co. GA) on July 18, 1919. [63]



September 7, 1936: A 25-percent tax is imposed on all Jewish assets in Germany.[64]



• September 7, 1939: During World War II, the Polish air force was now completely destroyed after less than a week of combat. Germany began plans to move troops to the West (French Border.) Despite being sworn to support Poland, France declined to attack or militarily engage Germany. This inaction was a prelude to the France’s feeble resistance to the German attack in the Spring of 1940 and the willingness with which many Frenchmen would collaborate with the Nazis.[65]



• September 7, 1940: In a speech to a special SS Squad, Himmler said that there was only one goal, “…To create an order that will spread a consciousness of Nordic blood until we draw to us all the Nordic blood in the world. [66]



• September 7, 1940: Romania cedes southern Dobruja to Bulgaria.[67]



• September 7, 1941: British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden notes that “if we must have preferences, let me murmur in your ear that I prefer “Arabs to Jews.” This strain of anti-Semitism was acceptable at certain levels of British society and certainly was part and parcel of the British Foreign Office. Eden was Churchill’s protégé. Supposedly he was responsible for the policies that kept the British from doing more to rescue the Jews of Europe and to admit them to Palestine. [68]



Convoy 29, September 7, 1942



For Convoy 29, the Germans specified the nationality of 893 deportees. There were 242 Poles; 188 Germans; 104 Austrians; 56 French; 24 Russians; 24 Czechs; 8 Luxemburgers; 8 Dutch; 6 Belgians; 3 Romanians; 2 Lithuanians; 1 Serb; 6 stateless; and 317 undetermined. The high proportion of “undetermined” is probably due to the Nazis’ haste. They did not examine the backgrounds of the deportees who arrived from the unoccupied zone a few hours before departure for Auschwitz. For this group, not even the age was recorded.



On board convoy 29 was Isaac Gottlieb born October 31, 1900, in Dzwatoszycs, Poland. [69]



The convoy contained 435 women and 565 men. The age is unknown for 130 women and 145 men. Among the 725 deportees whose age we know, 122 were children under 17 (71 girls and 51 boys). The largest age group among the men was the late thirties (157 in this group); among the women, the thirties (87 were between 31 and 40.)



This list is on onionskin. It was typed partly with blue carbon and partly with black, and is in very poor condition. It is divided into seven sublists.



1. Drancy—111 names. Among them were single people, including children, couples; and families.

2. Various camps==29 names. These were twenty four men, women, and children from Le Vernet and five from Gurs.

3. Belfort==9 names, all Dutch.

4. Unoccupied Zone—283 names. Family and first nbames were given, without any not of age or nationality. There were many families and many children.

5. Volunteers—32 names, without date of birth. Some had to have been children. The majority came from the camp of Rivesaltes.

6. Les Milles camp—488 names. One page with 16 names (number 524 to 540) is missing; 81 names are crossed out. The page covered letters SZ to WE. Many children were on this list.

7. Last minute departures—77 names from various camps in the south. Among them were families. Among these last minute departures there were undoubtedly mothers who fought to leave with their children from whom they had been separated.



On September 7, 1942, Ernst Heinrichsohn composed the telex (XXVb-155) which his superior officer Heinz Rothke signed. It announced to Eichmann, to the IOnspector of Concentration Camps, and to Auschwitz that convoy D 901/24, carrying 1,000 Jews, left the station at Le Bourget/Drancy at 8:55 AM under the supervision of Sergeant Kruger.



The convoy arrived in Auschwitz on September 9. Before arrival, an undetermined number of men were selected in Kosel (see Convoy 24). In Auschwitza itself, 59 men were selected and given numbers 63164 through 63222; 52 women were given numbers 19243 through 19294. The rest were immediately gassed.



The registry of the Ministry for War Veterns shows 12 survivors, all men. In Belgium we found nbames of 22 additional deportees, also all men, who returned to Belgium in 1945 without going first through France. Thus there were 34 survivors of record.[70]



• September 7, 1942: Anna Gottlieb, born April 24, 1877 in Eisenach. Resided Leipzig. Date of death: September 7, 1942, Leipzig. Suicide.[71]



Jenny Gottlieb, born Katz, November 2,1883 in Bobenhausen. Resided Frankfurt a. M.

Deportation:1942, Ziel unknown.[72]



Fany Gottlieb, born November 1, 1883 in Philadelphia. Resided Frankfurt a. M.

Deportation:Osttransport[73]



• September 7, 1942: At least 7000 Jews from Kolomyia, Ukraine, are deported to Belzec, 1000 are killed in the Kolomyia Ghetto itself.[74]



• September 7, 1942: The main article on the foreign page of the Time of London was headed “Vichy’s Jewish victims, children deported to Germany. Where they were deported was not stated. There was plenty of information floating around that England’s newspaper of record” could have at least speculated as to their fate.[75]



• September 7, 1944: The V2 is deployed for the first time. London, Paris, Antwerp. Over 2400 missles kill more than 5,000 people.[76]



• September 7, 1944 Hungarian authorities permit Otto Komoly, a Jew, to rent buildings in Budapest to be used for the protection of Jewish children. Komoly will ultimately protect 5000 children in 35 buildings.[77]







September 7, 1962 The CIA’s William Harvey meets in Mwith John Roselli to

discuss plans to assassinate Fidel Castro.[78]



September 7, 1963 Rolando Cubela, (CIA code name: AM/LASH), a former assassin for

Castro during the revolution, and now an official in his government, meets with a CIA case

officer in Brazil. Cubela explains that he wants to overthrow Castro and has an elaborate plan to

murder him. Cubela is told that American interest in getting rid of Castro and his government

remains high. Cubela wants assurances of U.S. interest and states that he is prepared to move

against Castro once he has this assurance.

In Havana, Cuba, this same evening, Fidel Castro buttonholes Daniel Harker, a reporter

for the Associated Press, and gives him a three-hour interview. Castro’s purpose seems to be to

let the U.S. know that he will “answer in kind” any attempt to murder Cuban leaders. “United

States leaders should thing that if they are aiding terrorist plans to eliminate Cuban leaders, they

themselves will not be safe.”

< NOTE: It has been suggested that Rolando Cubela might have been working as a double agent, supplying Castro with the information he had gleaned concerning CIA murder plots against the Cuban leader. This Labor Day weekend, JFK writes and briefly acts in a home movie. While a White House photographer’s camera is rolling, JFK disembarks from the “Honey Fitz,” the family’s yacht, and walks down a pier at the Rhode Island estate of his wife’s parents. Suddenly, he clutches his chest and falls to the boards. Jackie and a visitor casually step over him, as if he isn’t there. Paul Fay, an Undersecretary of the Navy and JFK’s buddy from World War II, then falls on JFK’s body, sending a gush of red liquid spurting from the President’s mouth. The few lines of dialogue have never been revealed. For twenty years, this film’s existence is kept secret.

Aziza Igram, a first generation Muslim American, shares a photo of the Mother Mosque, or as it was called back in the 1930's the "Moslem Temple"

Note: There are many families that have helped build the Cedar Rapids Muslim community. Unfortunately, I was only able to meet with a small portion of them. So please take these small accounts and stories as part of a larger history.

Many mistake the Mother Mosque as being the first mosque in North America, but as we blogged a couple of days ago, Ross, North Dakota was the site of the first mosque in 1929. What makes the Mother Mosque so important though is that it’s the longest standing mosque, established in 1934.

Throughout the 1800′s there were many Muslims that emigrated to the states to work at factories, railroads, etc., but very few of them were able to create sustainable communities. The Mother Mosque is a nationally recognized historic site and is preserved by Imam Taha. Since the Cedar Rapids Muslim community moved to a larger mosque, the Mother Mosque now serves more as a historical landmark and cultural information center.


The Mother Mosque was known by a couple of names: Naadi (club or hangout) by the Arab youth and Moslem Temple by the sign outside.

The basement of the Mother Mosque is lined with photos and news pieces showcasing a rich history covered by the local papers and tv outlets. From the first news clipping and photo of the congregants outside of the mosque to pictures of the aftermath of the drastic Iowa floods that desecrated hundreds of important books, Imam Taha and the community have done a great job preserving the history of the mosque.


The Mother Mosque is now a nationally recognized historic site.



In the basement of the Mother Mosque Imam Taha shows Aman and I a local news story covering the mosque in the early 90's.



Imam Taha leads a small congregation inside the Mother Mosque. The Mother Mosque is not a functioning mosque, it moved in the 1970's to a larger building.


The large mosque was built in the 1970s when the congregation grew out of the Mother Mosque.

Unlike most of the Muslim communities in America, Cedar Rapids is home to a large community of third, fourth or even fifth generation American Muslims. Aman and I, both coming from largely first generation Muslim communities, wanted to learn more about these folks.

Today, on a cloudy Labor day, we sit with Fatima Igram, a third generation American Muslim, at her house as she shares some important photos with us from her community. .

Fatima, daughter of Aziza Igram, smiles at the camera as she shows significant photos from the family albums.

A social gathering inside the Mother Mosque in the basement. Fatima sits in the middle, uneasy because the boy to her right always tries to sit next to her.

Her father, Abdullah Igram, was in the military and was stationed in New Guinea during World War II. When he was getting his dog tag made, he was asked to claim his religious affiliation with either a P for Protestant, J for Jewish, or C for Catholic. Abdullah said he was a Muslim and asked for an M to be engraved. The military couldn’t produce an M on the tag, so decided to leave it blank. For Abdullah, the idea of dying abroad and not receiving the right burial was terrifying.

Thankfully, Abdullah safely arrived back to Iowa after the war. A couple of years later he wrote a letter to President Eisenhower persuading him to add the M option on military dog tags. Soon enough, Abdullah received a letter from the President’s secretary thanking him for the suggestion and the M option was added.

Abdullah Igram, a Syrian American, was born in America and became somewhat of an ambassador for the Muslims to the larger community. He was one of the first kids in the community to complete the Quran in Arabic. Afterwards, he taught basic aAabic and Qur’an classes in the basement of the mother mosque.

Abdullah Igram and the Mother Mosque was featured in the Iowan Magazine. Here, he is smiling in front of the Mother Mosque

Qur'an lessons taught by Abdullah Igram and a peer.

Abdullah Igram's fight for the M option on the dog tag garnered a lot of media attention.

Headline reads: "Vet Leads U.S. Moslems In Fight For Recognition."

Abdullah Igram sits with the local pastor in Cedar Rapids.

Aziza Igram, Abdullah’s wife and Fatima’s mother, came to the US when she was nine years old. She is now 82 and has been working at the Yonkers department store for the last 31 years.

“Uf, I think I’m going to quit soon.” she says to me.

Aziza is a petite Lebanese lady who loves talking about her kids, grandkids and, well, great grandkids. She is a hard worker and Fatima, her daughter, has been trying to convince her for years to leave her job.

Aziza Igram sits with her two daughters, Fatima and Lila, on one of the many Thursday social gatherings at the mosque, circa 1950's.



Aziza and Fatima Igram, Mother and daughter look over photos from the past together. Present day.

Aziza has a large collection of her husband’s letters and documents. There was one letter written to an official in DC talking about the lack of unity when it comes to moon sightings during the month of Ramadan – the letter was written in 1954. So, yes, ease up fellow Muslim readers, your local uncle was not the pioneer of moon sighting quarrels. We learned it from our forefathers, clearly.

On our way out of Iowa, we stop at a furniture shop owned by Naji Igram, a third generation Lebanese American Muslim. Back in his day, Naji was a body builder who entered competitions regularly. At one point, he became the third runner up in Mr. Midwest.

“Ahh, I stopped it,” Naji shrugs, “there were more important things for us to spend our time on.”



Naji is a laid back guy who is known for his large hands. In fact, before knowing his names and his accomplishments, I was told about how large his hands are. Though he wouldn’t want me saying it, Naji has been integral in helping the Muslim’s in Cedar Rapids progress.

“Our families didn’t know much about Islam. They just knew the bare basics.” Naji says to me sitting a nice dining table on display, “They came to America as peddlers and grocery store owners, they were busy trying to survive.”

Many of the Lebanese families ran grocery stores in Iowa. Naji himself owned a grocery store, but, like many muslims, left because of the conflict of selling alcohol and lottery.

At the time, the Mother Mosque had a small turnout for Friday prayers, and small lectures on Sundays. There were makeshift arabic and quranic lessons, but nothing substantial was happening.

“That wouldn’t have been enough for our community to survive. We needed more.”

In the 1960′s and early 1970′s, the small Iowan Muslim community found a large number immigrants coming from South Asia for work.

“Many of the Pakistanis would try to correct us, or tell us what to do.” says Naji. A classic example of the clash of Immigrant v. Indigenous.
“but they were kind of right. We didn’t know much and needed to learn more.”

“We had a big divide around then, those that liked the way things were before, and those that were willing to progress in their Islam and their practice.”

According to Naji, those that were okay with the earlier ways of the community left and those that were willing to progress stayed and built the mosque into what it is now.

The Cedar Rapids Muslim community is large and vibrant. Aman and I joined them last night for dinner and were amazed by the diverse congregation we saw. For dinner, we had rice pilaf, tandoori naan, butter chicken, goat with gravy and rice pudding for dessert. It was clearly a Pakistani/Indian menu and a meal the entire congregation seemed to enjoyed.

“I’m optimistic about where our community is going,” Naji says, “our kids, they know more than we do. Actually, our kids’ kids know more than us. And that’s promising.”

Some variations are designed to be pulled by a single animal, or perhaps two or more animals in single file. This would fit a narrow path. Other buggies/wagons are wide and are suitable to be pulled by multiple animals—perhaps two abreast. The use of such vehicles goes back to the earliest days of recorded history.





Military wagon (at Fort Ligonier) and "buggies" at Meadowcroft. Photos by compiler with Joyce Chandler. Enlarged military wagon and enlarged buggies.

Military wagons were tailored for specific uses and varied greatly. Buggies could be two- or four-wheeled. The racing of wagons and buggies is popular today as it was back in Roman times. Many sport fans prefer trotters to Kentucky Derby type racing. Witness the lyrics to Meridith Willson's Music Man: " ...and list'nin to some big out-a-town Jaspar, hearin' him tell about horse-race gamblin.' Not a wholesome trottin' race, no! But a race where they set down right on the horse! Like to see some stuck-up jockey boy sittin' on Dan Patch? Make your blood boil? Well, I should say...."

Racing of all sorts was popular sport in colonial days. Being a good horseman was a badge of honor—witness George Washington at Mount Vernon where he might be on a horse eight or ten-hours in a day.

[41] “Of the type” because many historians have implied that all the Americans at Kings Mountain were armed with the Dickert rifle. Since that rifle, and most like it, was a masterpiece of hand craftsmanship, goo Jacob Dickert )1740-1822) could not possibly, by 1780, have turned out the 940 rifles carried by the Patriots into that battle.
