December 24, 1166: Birthdate of King John of England. King John is known to history as the brother of Richard the Lionhearted whom he followed to the throne in 1199. He is also the monarch who was so rapacious that the English nobles banned together and forced him to sign the Magna Charta, which placed limits on the power of the King. John’s record in dealing with the Jews was uneven, to say the least. Since Jews fell outside of the norms of the feudal world of the Middle Ages, special provisions were needed to deal with them. Two years after coming to power, King John issued a special charter guaranteeing the rights of the Jews while he reigned as long as they conformed to all laws and decrees i.e. provided a steady flow of funds to the royal treasury. In essence, the Jews were “the king’s possession” to do with as he pleased. So this same King John, when he needed more money, imprisoned several wealthy Jews in a castle at Bristol in 1210 and held them until they paid a ransom of 66,000 marks. John’s son followed his father’s pattern of behavior in dealing with the Jews. His grandson would expel the Jews from England after squeezing them of all their financial value.[1] John of Lackland is the compilers 24th great grandfather.

1167: In 1167 a second invasion failed, again due to the support of the Crusaders, for above all else the Crusader kingdom could not abide a united Egypt and Syria. So desperate was this crisis soncidered in the Crusader kingdom that any baron refusing to heed the sums forfeited 10 percent of his income. Two further invasions faltered.[2] Death of Ibn Ezra the Jewish Bible commentator, Oxford U founded, Frederick Barbarossa crowned emperor, Almalric king of Jerusalem captures Cairo, Genghis Kahn (Temujin) born, Oxford U. [3]

December 24, 1294: Pope Boniface VIII is elected Pope. In 1298, four years after Boniface came to power, 628 Jews are killed after a priest Nuremberg, Germany, spreads a story that Jews drove nails through communion hosts, "thereby crucifying Christ again". There are those who hold Boniface accountable for this murderous act, if for no other reason that it took place during his “undistinguished” papal rule.[4]

In 1295, when money was needed to wage war against Philip of France (who had confiscated the duchy of Gascony), Edward summoned the most comprehensive assembly ever summoned in England. This became known as the Model Parliament, for it represented various estates: barons, clergy, and knights and townspeople. By the end of Edward's reign, Parliament usually contained representatives of all these estates. Edward used his royal authority to establish the rights of the Crown at the expense of traditional feudal privileges, to promote the uniform administration of justice, to raise income to meet the costs of war and government, and to codify the legal system.
In doing so, his methods emphasised the role of Parliament and the common law. With the able help of his Chancellor, Robert Burnell, Bishop of Bath and Wells, Edward introduced much new legislation.He began by commissioning a thorough survey of local government (with the results entered into documents known as the Hundred Rolls), which not only defined royal rights and possessions but also revealed administrative abuses.

[6]

December 24, 1491: Birthdate Ignatius of Loyola, Spanish founder of the Jesuit order. Loyola was born one year before the Jewish expulsion from Spain. He lived during a period dominated by the Inquistion and Church sanctioned anti-Semitism. “It is accordingly much to their credit that the Jesuits were firmly opposed (particularly under Ignatius and his first three successors as Superior General of the Jesuits) to ecclesiastical anti-Semitism and to the Inquisition's persecution of suspected Jews. When Ignatius was accused of having partly Jewish ancestry, he replied, ‘If only I did! What could be more glorious than to e of the same blood as the Apostles, the Blessed Virgin, and our Lord Himself?’”[7]

Transcript.]

FORT PITT, December 24th. 1777



SIR—When I wrote you last, I acquainted you of my intention of visiting Fort Randolph. You will find by the enclosed letters from Capt. Arbuckle that before my arrival there he had confined some Shawanese Indians, & his reasons for so doing. On the IOth. ulto., the day I left this post to go to Kanawha, three men, one of them an ensign of the Bottetourt Militia. straggled over the Kanawha to hunt. The Ensign was killed & scalped within a small distance of the fort, which exasperated the militia to such a degree that a party of them rushed into the fort, & put the Cornstalk, his son, the Red Hawk’s son, & another Indian to death, notwithstanding Capt. Arbuckle’s endeavors to prevent it. From this event we have little reason to expect a reconciliation with the Shawanese, except fear operates on them; for if we had any friends among them, those unfortunate wretches were so. Though from information brought me from the Seneca country, which Lt. Col. Gibson has already communicated to you, we have little reason to expect that will be the case. * * *

Col. Wm. Crawford has arrived.[37] I hope his activity and influence will have a very good effect. If Major John Stephenson[38] could have any appointment worth his acceptance, I think he also would be a valuable acquisition. I wish much to be permitted to lay my proceedings here before Congress. I assure you that I have fully exerted my poor abilities to accom­plish the end fOr whch I was ordered here, yet am sorry to say that little advantage has arisen from it; & unless some other measures can be fallen on, I have little reason to promise myself better success for the time to come.

I think that as it is now winter, & Col. Crawford present, my absence for some time would not be at­tended with inconvenience. If Congress have no par­ticular objection, would esteem it as a most singular indulgence to be recalled & suffered to join the grand army, with them to share the honors & fatigues of the field. Indeed, unless our affairs will admit of the assistance of a regular force, I had rather resign my office than continue here in command of militia.

Capt. Willing[39] had arrived here a few days before my return from Fort Randolph. I have in the best manner I could supplied him with such things as he wanted, but am afraid the river will be shut up before he gets away. * * *

•The Treaty of Ghent (8 Stat. 218), signed on December 24, 1814, in Ghent (modern day Belgium, then in limbo between the First French Empire and United Kingdom of the Netherlands), was the peace treaty that ended the War of 1812 between the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The treaty largely restored relations between the two nations to status quo ante bellum. Because of the era's slow communications, it took weeks for news of the peace treaty to reach the United States, and the Battle of New Orleans was fought after it was signed though before it was ratified.


Agreement

On December 24, 1814, the members of the British and American negotiating teams signed and affixed their individual seals to the document, which once ratified by their respective governments, ended the war of 1812.[1] The treaty released all prisoners and restored all war lands and boats, resulting in several changes. Returned to the United States were approximately 10,000,000 acres (40,000 km2) of territory, near Lakes Superior and Michigan, in Maine, and on the Pacific coast.[2] American-held areas of Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) were returned to British control. The treaty made no major changes to the pre-war situation, but Britain promised to return the freed black slaves encouraged during the war to escape to British territory. In practice, a few years later Britain instead paid the United States $350,000 for them.[3]

The British proposal to create an Indian buffer zone in Ohio and Michigan collapsed after the Indian coalition fell apart. [4]

Aftermath

News of the treaty finally reached the United States after the American victory in the Battle of New Orleans and the British victory in the Second Battle of Fort Bowyer, but before the British assault on Mobile, Alabama.[5] Skirmishes occurred between U.S. troops and British-allied Indians along the Mississippi River frontier for months after the treaty, including the Battle of the Sink Hole in May 1815.

The U.S. Senate unanimously approved the treaty on February 16, 1815, and President James Madison exchanged ratification papers with a British diplomat in Washington on February 17; the treaty was proclaimed on February 18. Eleven days later, on March 1 Napoleon escaped from Elba, starting the war in Europe again, and forcing the British to concentrate on the threat he posed.

In 1922, the Fountain of Time was dedicated to the city of Chicago, being placed in Washington Park marking 100 years of peace between the United States and the United Kingdom. The Peace Bridge between Buffalo, New York and Fort Erie, Ontario, opened in 1927, commemorates 100 years of peace between the United States and Canada.[56][57]

After the War of 1812 and its costly victories, with strong connections in Fairfield County, Ohio, the Wyandot tribe moved northward from their favorite locations at ‘Standing Stone’ (at Lancaster, Ohio), to an abode on the banks of the Sandusky River at Upper Sandusky, Ohio.[58]



1815: At the age of fourteen Abraham Baer Gottlober married the daughter of a wealthy "Hasid" in Chernigov, and settled there. When his inclination for secular knowledge became known, his father-in-law, on the advice of a Hasidic rabbi, caused the young couple to be divorced, and Gottlober, who had joined the Hasidim after his marriage, now became their bitter enemy.[59]



1815: In 1813 Mordecai Noah assumed the highest position a Jew had ever held in the fledling Republic. President James Madison appointed Noah U. S. ambassador to Tunisa position of real substance, given how vexing America found the issue of piracy in the Barbary States.

Yet in 1815 Noah received a stunning glow from Secretary of State James Monroe. In a letter, Monroe recalled him from his post. “At the time of your appointment,” read the letterfrom the capital, “it was not known that the Religion which you profess would form any obstacle to the exercise of your Consular function.” This demonstrated how close to the surface lay the popular vision of America as a Christian, that is, Protestant, nation.[60]

Throughout the early period of the Republic, shaped though it was by Constitutional guarantees, Jewish men walked a fine line between feeling part of the polity and and entitiled to full access and knowing that their Jewishness placed them in an outsider category. From the Revolution onward, American Jews felt the need to prove themselves. They involved their revolutionary service. They sought out neutral spaces, for example Masonic lodges, where they could gather and steer clear of matters religious.

They participated in common civic ventures.[61]



1815 – John Ross opens a trading post on the Tennessee River that becomes known as Ross' Landing, with Timothy Meigs, brother of US Indian agent Return J. Meigs, as his partner.[62]

Reform Judaism was born at the time of the French Revolution, a time when European Jews were recognized for the first time as citizens of the countries in which they lived. Ghettos were being abolished, special badges were no more, people could settle where they pleased, dress as they liked and follow the occupations that they wanted.

Elisabeth of Austria (December 24, 1837 –September 10, 1898) was Empress of Austria and Queen of Hungary, as wife of Franz Joseph I.

Although born into the Bavarian royalty, Elisabeth (‘Sisi’) had enjoyed quite an informal upbringing, before marrying the Emperor at sixteen, and being suddenly absorbed into Habsburg court life, which she found excessively stifling. She was also at odds with her interfering mother-in-law, Princess Sophie, who took over the rearing of her daughters, one of whom died in infancy. The birth of a male heir Rudolf improved her standing at court, but her health was suffering under the strain, and she would often visit Hungary for its more relaxed environment. She came to develop a deep kinship with Hungary, and helped to bring about the dual monarchy of Austria–Hungary in 1867.

The death of her only son in a murder-suicide tragedy at his hunting lodge at Mayerling was a shock from which she never recovered. She withdrew from court duties, and travelled widely, unaccompanied by her family. In the palace, she was seen to be obsessively concerned with her health and beauty, having to be sewn into her leather corsets and spending two or three hours a day on her coiffure.

While travelling in Geneva in 1898, she was stabbed to death by an anarchist, who had missed his chance to assassinate the Duke of Orléans and wanted to kill the next member of royalty that he saw.

Sisi was the longest-reigning Empress of Austria, at 44 years.

Born Her Royal Highness Duchess Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie on December 24, 1837 in Munich, Bavaria, she was the fourth child of Duke Maximilian Joseph in Bavaria and Princess Ludovika of Bavaria, the half-sister of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. Maximilian was considered to be rather peculiar; he had a childish love of circuses and traveled the Bavarian countryside to escape his duties. The family home was at Possenhofen Castle, far from the protocols of court. "Sisi" and her brothers and sisters grew up in a very unrestrained and unstructured environment, she often skipped her lessons to go riding about the countryside.[1]

In 1853, Princess Sophie of Bavaria, the domineering mother of 23-year-old Emperor Franz Joseph, preferring to have a niece as a daughter-in-law rather than a stranger, arranged a marriage between her son and her sister Ludovika's eldest daughter, Helene. Although the couple had never met, Franz Joseph's obedience was taken for granted by the archduchess, who once was described as "the only man in the Hofburg"[2] for her authoritarian manner. The Duchess and Helene were invited to journey to the resort of Bad Ischl, Upper Austria to receive his formal proposal of marriage. Fifteen-year-old Sisi accompanied her mother and sister and they traveled from Munich in several coaches. They arrived late as the Duchess, prone to migraine, had to interrupt the journey; the coach with their gala dresses never did arrive. The family was still in mourning over the death of an aunt so they were dressed in black and unable to change to more suitable clothing before meeting the young Emperor. While black did not suit eighteen-year-old Helene's dark coloring, it made her younger sister's blonder looks more striking by contrast.[3] [63]

STAUNTON, VA.,
December 24, 1863.
Maj. Gen. J. A. EARLY,
Commanding Forces in Valley of Virginia:

GENERAL: Having had a thirty days' leave of absence in my pocket since the 7th instant, and my reasons for going home being very urgent, I will leave in the morning. I have remained here on duty for the past two weeks because I believed my knowledge of the country would be of essential service to the country; but as you are now in a region well known to yourself, this peculiar advantage no longer attaches to my services, and I know that I leave my brigade in the hands of a highly competent officer, Col. George H. Smith, of the Sixty-second Regiment, who will handle the troops certainly as well, perhaps better than I could do. If in pursuit of supplies you have to go to Hampshire County, or send over there, permit me to recommend to you, as fully acquainted with all the resources of that county and Hardy, Capt. George W. Stump, of the Eighteenth Virginia Cavalry. Captain Stump can give you more valuable information than any man in my command in regard to supplies in Hampshire and Hardy. He knows where every lot of cattle in those counties can be obtained, and has very recently returned from a trip there in search of supplies. I take pleasure in recommending him to you as a man perfectly reliable in every respect, and one who will be exceedingly valuable to you, should you send to the counties named. Colonel Smith will report to you with the brigade as soon as he can reach you in the jaded condition of our horses. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. D. IMBODEN, Brigadier-General. [73]

About the Diary



Upon opening William Harrison Goodlove’s diary Jay Goodlove said that he smelled the scent of smoke coming from inside the pages. The outer pages have the appearance of being soaked from sweat. There are additional notes in the diary that have not that have not been added to this text. The last page of transcription of the diary is also missing. Further research includes finding the letters and correspondence of William Harrison Goodlove during the civil war. Pictures were also referred to that were taken of himself and there may also me a regimental photo taken prior to departure.

Theopolis McKinnon voted for Hayes in 1880 for President.[88]



1880: Gottlober also published Hebrew short stories: “Kol rinah vi-yeshu‘ah be-ohole tsadikim” (1875), “Hizaharu bi-vene ha-‘aniyim” (1880), and “Orot me-ofel” (1881). His stories commonly focused on issues that agitated the Jewish communities he was familiar with: unequal distribution of the burden of the Russian military draft, and obstacles in the way of youth who hoped to explore the Enlightenment. Gottlober also published a play, Tif’eret li-vene binah (1867).[89]



1880: Gottlober was one of the first maskilim of his time to write about Jewish history. His initial book in this field was Bikoret le-toldot ha-Kara’im (Critique of the History of the Karaites; 1865). Several years later, his Toldot ha-Kabalah veha-ḥasidut (History of the Kabbalah and Hasidism; 1869) appeared. His inclination was to deal with social and intellectual history, a topic that found expression in his autobiographical works: Zikhronot mi-yeme ne‘urai, meshulavim ‘im zikhronot ha-dor (Memoirs from the Days of My Youth, Joined with Memoirs of the Generation; 1880) and Zikhronot le-korot Haskalat ‘amenu be-artsenu erets Rusya’ (Memoirs of the History of the Enlightenment of Our People in Our Land, the Land of Russia; 1884). In 1867, Gottlober began planning the publication of a history of Jews in the southwest Russian Empire, based on communal registers and the records of local societies.[90]



1880: By 1880, the Jewish population was the absolute majority in Jerusalem. In the 1880’s we begin to saee major fulfillment of Bible prophecy, concerning the Jewish people and the land of Israel. The modern state of Israel is directly connected to biblical Israel, as attested to by its history and the manner in which its modern rebirth has so closely concided with Bible prophecy. Just as God arranged for Joshua to bring the Children of Israel into the Promised Land 3,500 years ago, in our day God arranged for the Jewish people to come back to their ancestral homeland. [91]





December 24 1894: On board Convoy 55 was Albert Gottlieb, born December 24, 1894 from Fridlda, (Stateless), and Aurelie Gottlieb, born June 11, 1892 in Lvov. (Polish for Lviv, a major city in western Ukraine. [92]

December 23, 1933: BILLY HARRISON was born 1923, Muskogee, OK; died December 24, 1933, Muskogee, OK.COMMENTS FROM RICHARD HARRISON (Brother) January, 1993
“Billy died of diphtheria - a real scourge in the days before immunizations. It would fit with his being hospitalized with a "throat condition". When diphtheria is fulminating, as Billy's apparently was, a thick membrane forms over the interior air passages, and the inability to breathe plus the toxemia results in death. Apparently a tracheotomy (hole in the windpipe) was performed, but too late. The diagnosis of diphtheria makes medical sense to me. The diagnosis of tonsillitis and tonsillectomy under the circumstances does not. I don't know how or where I became fixed on scarlet fever as the cause of death. Louise (Sibbitt) said I just didn't ask the right person – her”!!
Billy died on Christmas Eve, 1933. Christmas was a sad event for my folks in the following years according to Eileen (Sibbitt) Bird. She says, “Billy was a natural child, not adopted. Lillian apparently had a difficult labor and traumatic delivery. She was told she should not have other children. The marriage was celibate after Billy's birth. Such power the Church had in the twenties. They wanted children, hence the adoptions after Billy's death”. [93]

After joining the Continental army in August, 1777, Crawford served with efficiency, commanding a detachment of scouts and skirmishing with the British under Howe. November ~q Congress resolved “that General Washington be requested to send Col. William Crawford to Pittsburg to take command under Brigadier General Hand of the Continental troops and militia of the Western department.” In this way Crawford lost his place and rank in the Continental line, and it was never restored to him. He seems to have spent part of the winter of 1777-78 at his own home on the Youghiogheny. In March and April he was present at Yohogania County court, acting as magistrate and commissioner to lay out prison bounds. His subsequent career will be outlined in later documents in this volume.—ED.


[38] 61 Maj. John Stephenson was a half-brother of Col. William Crawford, and was born in Virginia about 1737. He was out in the French and Indian War, and about 1768 removed to the West, settling on Jacob’s Creek, in Fayette County. There in 1770 he was visited by Washington, who was thenreturning from viewing Western lands. In 1774 Stephenson commanded a company under Dunmore, and was active on the Virginia side during the troubles between that state and Pennsylvania. In 1775 Stephenson enlisted a company for the colonial cause, and joined Col. Peter Muhlenberg as captain in the 8th Virginia; this regiment saw service at Charleston and Savannah. In the summer of 1777 Stephenson contracted disease, and returned home that autumn. He did not again enter the Continental army, but served as a volunteer on Hand’s campaign (1778), and that of Mcintosh (1778-79). About ?i~o he removed to Kentucky, where he lived and died on the South fork of the Licking, leaving no children. He was a large, active man, brave, kind, and popular. For Samuel Murphy’s reminiscences of Stephenson, with whom he lived, see Draper MSS., 3S1-10, 5S1-9.—ED.


[39] Capt. James Willing, youngest son of Charles and his wife Anne Shippen Willing, was born in Philadelphia Feb. 9, 1751. The Willing family were prominent in colonial affairs, and James’s oldest brother, Thomas, was a partner of Robert Morris, and aided in financing the new nation. James removed in 1774 to Natchez, where he dissipated his patrimony. In 1777 he returned to Philadelphia, and received from Congress a commission as captain in the navy, with permission to proceed to the Mississippi River to secure the neutrality of the inhabitants along its banks and to bring back provisions to the states. He enlisted a company for this purpose (see roll in Penna. Archives, 2nd series, xv, p. 658), and in an armed boat christened “Rattletrap” left Pittsburgh Jan. 10, 1778. Arrived at Natchez he succeeded in securing a pledge of neutrality from the chief inhabitants (see Almon’s Remem­brancer, vi, p. 343), but was accused of having in a wanton manner pillaged and inflicted damages on their property. Having proceeded to New Orleans, Willing captured a small British vessel at Manchac, and used this for further depredations on the property of British sympathizers. In the following year he sent his troops back oup the river under charge of Lieut. Robert George, who placed them under the orders of Gen. George Rogers Clark. Willing himself proceeded to Mobile, where he was captured and narrowly escaped being hung. He was finally shipped as prisoner to New York, and Kept on Long Island, under parole, with other American officers. Having resented an insult offered by a British officer, Willing was incarcerated in New York City and loaded with irons, where he remained for three months . One of his sisters, wife of a British officer, interceded for him with Sir Henry Clinton, who finally permitted him to return to Philadelphia on parole until exchanged. He is said to have been exchanged for Henry Hamilton, governor of Detroit. Willing was never married. He made his home in Philadelphia, where he died Oct. 13, 1801

[77][77][77] Remains of 40 Confederate soldiers discovered in Virginia cemetery

Their remains sat, unmarked, in shallow graves at the Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg, Va., for decades. Now, two centuries after the Civil War, the bodies of 40 Confederate soldiers discovered over the past two months will receive a proper memorial.

"It's been very meaningful to us to find these spots, identify these soldiers and bring closure to families," said Ted Delaney, the cemetery's assistant director, who, along with a team of archaeologists, uncovered the exact resting place of some 40 Confederate soldiers as well as the plots where Union soldiers were once buried and later exhumed.

Delaney told FoxNews.com that, beginning in April, the team dug a 45-by-10-foot trench within "Yankee Square" at the cemetery where they found a mix of red and orange squares, which they determined were Confederate soldiers' graves. He said 35 to 40 graves were found during this latest search and that 50 were uncovered in the same area last year.

Delaney said he is now tasked with identifying each soldier's grave and giving it the tribute it deserves.

"Our goal is to put a marker at each grave space to identify the soldier and note when he died and his military unit," said Delaney, who is optimistic about the project because, "the undertaker's notes are so detailed and complete."

He said that when all is done, about 80 Confederate soldiers will be properly identified. He noted that the remains of Union soldiers were exhumed and removed from the plot of land in 1866.

"This has been an incredible process of discovery," he said. "It’s always been very frustrating for those descendents who come to us because they can't find their ancestor's grave. Now we can bring some of them closure."

The task to identify and maintain the graves of Civil War soldiers at the cemetery began in April 2013. Delaney and his team are receiving an annual $2,500 grant from the Virginia Department of Historic Records Work to document unknown graves within "Yankee Square," which was first intended as a burial site for Union soldiers and then came to include Confederate soldiers -- many of whom died from diseases such as small pox.

Delaney's crew is not the first to uncover unidentified Civil War graves in recent years.

Sam Ricks, who works as graves registrar for the Sons of Confederate Veterans' Pennsylvania Division, has long been on a quest to restore the graves of America's bravest. Ricks and his team are responsible for uncovering unmarked graves at Mount Moriah cemetery, an estimated 380-acre historic graveyard straddling Philadelphia and Yeadon, Pa., and the state's largest -- where 2,300 Navy service members and Marines dating from the Revolutionary War to the War of 1812 all the way to the Korean and Vietnam wars are buried.

In 2007, Ricks received an unusual request, which led him to a discovery that was "like finding a needle in a haystack."

Ricks was approached by a descendent of Nathan Tiernon Walton, a cadet from the Virginia Military Institute who, along with 294 other cadets, fought the Battle of New Market in Virginia for the Confederate Army on May 15, 1864. The battle is well-known to Civil War historians because the small Confederate Army, which consisted largely of the teenage cadets from VMI, defeated the Union soldiers and forced them out of the Shenandoah Valley.

Walton later became estranged from his family when he left his wife and daughter in Baltimore to find work in Atlanta and later Philadelphia, according to Ricks.

"He was a recluse," Ricks said, "And no one ever knew what became of him."

It was long believed by the family that Walton was buried in Baltimore, alongside his wife. But that theory was discounted when Walton's great-grandson, Bill Banks, visited Loudon Park Cemetery in Baltimore and found no evidence Walton was buried there.

Banks was on a quest that began 100 years ago with his grandmother, Walton's daughter, who handed down a large cast iron Southern Cross of Honor grave marker to be placed at her father's grave if it was ever found. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/05/26/remains-40-confederate-soldiers-discovered-in-virginia-cemetery/

It was later discovered that Walton died in Philadelphia during the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918, leading Ricks to eventually find his unmarked grave on Memorial Day in 2008 at Philadelphia Memorial Park in Frazer, Pa.

In November 2008, Ricks, as well as descendents of Walton, were finally able to mark his grave 90 years after his death with the cross passed down by his daughter.

"I'm reminded of this case every Memorial Day," Ricks said. "Walton's daughter had handed down to generations a marker to be placed at his grave should it ever be found. And then we actually did it. We fulfilled her wish."

[83] The most adverse criticism of these "Galvanized Yankees" came from a high ranking Confederate source, Lt. Gen. W. J. Hardee. On December 24, 1864 he informed Gen. S. Cooper, Insp. General of the Confederacy, that at Savannah such troops had proved "to be utterly untrustworthy. The men deserted in large numbers and finally mutinied and were narrowly prevented from going over in a body to the enemy. The ring leaders were shot, and the remainder sent back to prison. These men were selected with great care, and were principally foreigners, and this is, therefore, a fair test of of such troops. I recommend that all authority to organize similar commands be revoked." (Official Records, 2, VII, 1268.) (The Salisbury Prison, by Louis A. Brown, page 103.)



James Oxley, (Iowa Infantry?) a POW at Salisbury, told of a group of about a hundred prisoners who had gone with the recruiter who had promised them plenty to eat. They were all eventually returned to the prison according to Confederate authorities, because they had failed a physical exam. The real reason may have been that they were about to disavow their oath to the Confederacy and defect to the Union lines at the first opportunity. Upon their return to Salisbury they were greeted by much hostility from their fellow prisoners and , according to Oxley, were all dead within a short time.( Mr and Mrs Donald W. David of Marion, Iowa, provided the excerpts from James Oxley's letters. This is one of Oxley's comments. Some of these men may have been killed outright, but Oxley implied the denial of food by their fellow prisoners was the cause of their death. These POWs were not wearing uniforms when they returned. They presented such a spectacle that Oxley exclaimed that they would "make a dead man laugh." (Oxley Diary). (What clothes were they wearing.) Need date of diary entry. Contact David in Marion, Iowa.
