February 10, 1258: Mongols overran Baghdad, burning it to the ground and killing 10,000 citizens. This marked the beginning of the Il-khan (Mongol) Dynasty in Persia. The Dynasty lasted until 1335. With the conquest of Baghdad by the grandson of Genghis Khan, the Mongol dynasty replaced the Abbasids. The Mongols were for the most part tolerant of Judaism. An Arab writer reported that on the eve of the Mongolian invasion there were 36,000 Jews living in the city and that they supported 16 Synagogues. Most of the city was destroyed during the siege. It is during this period that Judeo-Persian literature flourished specifically the poetry of Shahin whose most famous work was Sefer Sharh Shain al Hatorah.[1]



1261: In a court case in Barkshire in southern England in 1261 a man by the name of Robert, son of William LeFevre was an outlaw and was brought before the court. The clerk of the court changed his name to Robert the Hood.[2]



1263



Opposite Kyle of Lochalsh and the Skye Bridge, Caisteal Maol sits on a small island just to the east of Kyleakin. The name of the village comes from 'kyle' - the narrow strait of water between Skye and the mainland - and 'akin' after the Norwegian King Haakon IV who sailed through here in 1263 on his way to defeat at the Battle of Largs which ultimately decided the ownership of the Hebrides. [3]

1264

King Boleslav V, the Chaste, granted the Jews liberal charters of self-government (1264). The Jews were helping him to build cities and to found industry and commerce, enabling him to compete economically with the West. Like the nobels, the Jews owned land and large estates. They lived in city and village. Casimir III, the Great, the Charlemagne of Poland, founded universities, encouraged trade, and imported even more Jews to accelerate the hum of commerce and industry. Vivovt, Grand Duke of Lithuania, opened that country for Jewish settlement.[4]

1266

During the government of the Lords of the Isles, which commenced on the abandonment of their conquests by the Norwegians to the King of Scotland, A.D. 1266 and terminated at the forfeiture of the last lord, A.D. 1493 (temp. James III.), but little can be gathered concerning the deeds of the clan, as, in consequence of their connection with the MacDonalds, many a bold enterprise was doubtless attributed to that powerful tribe which held sway over the lesser tribes, and which would naturally include their actions amongst their own.[5]

February 10, 1755: French author and political philosopher Charles Louis De Secondat Montesquieu, simply known as Montesquieu passed away. A product of the Age of Reason, the optimistic Montesquieu’s most famous work is De l'esprit des lois which is known in English as The Spirit of the Laws, published in 1748. Montesquieu did not just believe in religious toleration. He believed that the state had a responsibility to see to it that religious groups leave each other in peace. In the Spirit of Laws he writes, “’I cannot help remarking by the way how this nation (the Jews) has been sported with from one age to another: at one time their effects were confiscated when they were will to become Christians; and at another, if they refused to become Christians they were ordered to be burn.’” He described the Jews as a “’a mother that brought forth two daughters who have stabbed herewith a thousand wounds.’” As befitted his optimistic views, Montesquieu believed “’the Jews are at present safe; superstition will return no more, and they will no longer be exterminated on conscientious principles.’” Unfortunately, History would prove him wrong.[6]



February 10, 1763

The Treaty of Paris ends the French and Indian War.[7] The Treaty of Paris, often called the Peace of Paris, or the Treaty of 1763, was signed on by the kingdoms of Great Britain, France and Spain, with Portugal in agreement marking the end of the Seven Years War which those living in North America called the French and Indian War. As part of the agreement, France ceded Quebec to the British. This opened the way to Jewish settlement in Canada since French law had prohibited Jews from settling the colony. Under “the law of unintended consequences,” the war left Britain with a debt that it looked to the North American colonies to help pay off. The taxation levied on the 13 colonies was a cause of the American Revolution which helped to create the nation that has become home to one of the leading Jewish communities in our history.[8] Coming to America as German Mercenaries to fight for England were two Germans by the name of Conrad Gotlieb and Francis Gotlop. They did not return to Germany. Their families are now known as the Goodlove’s and the Godlove’s and their unique Cohen DNA lives on today.



From George Washington’s Journals;



February 10, 1771; At home all day. Mr. (6th great grand uncle) Valentine Crawford came to dinner.[9]



February 10, 1773



On February 10, 1773, and upon the Governor giving his consent to the bill, the new county of Westmoreland became a legal reality. The Assembly voted Justice St. Clair ₤25 for his expenses to Philadelphia, to the Assembly, and to New York to see General Gage. The new county of Westmoreland was described by the following boundaries:

“Beginning at the province line, where the most westerly branch commonly called the South of Great Branch of Youghiogheny crosses the same; thence down the easterly side of said branch and river to Laurel Hill, thence along the ridge of said hill, northeastward, so far as it can be traced, or till it runs into the Allegheny Hill; thence along the ridge dividing the waters of Susquehanna and the Allegheny River, to the purchase line at the head of Susquehanna; thence directly west to the limits of the province, and by the same to the place of beginning.”[10]



From George Washingtons Journal:

February 10th, 1774: At home all day. After Breakfast Mr. Campbell went away and in the Afternoon Mr. Hugh Stephenson came.[11]



January 10, 1779: Jews were granted right of residence in Stuttgart, Germany(As bad as all the bad things that happened to the Jewish people were, one often considers some of the good things also bad - Anon). The Jewish experience in the Germanic states was a mixed bag. Emancipation and anti-Semitism co-existed in an uneasy alliance that produced great culture but ended in the ashes of the Shoah.[12]

February 10, 1846

Brigham Young leads the Mormon migration west from Nauvoo, Illinois.[18] Their leader assassinated and their homes under attack, the Mormons of Nauvoo, Illinois, begin a long westward migration that eventually brings them to the valley of the Great Salt Lake in Utah.

The members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had been persecuted for their beliefs ever since Joseph Smith founded the church in New York in 1830. Smith's claim to be a modern-day prophet of God and his acceptance of polygamy proved controversial wherever the Mormons attempted to settle. In 1839, Smith hoped his new spiritual colony of Nauvoo in Missouri would provide a permanent safe haven for the Saints, but anti-Mormon prejudice there proved virulent. Angry mobs murdered Smith and his brother in June 1844 and began burning homes and threatening the citizens of Nauvoo.

Convinced that the Mormons would never find peace in the United States, Smith's successor, Brigham Young, made a bold decision: the Mormons would move to the still wild territories of the Mexican-controlled Southwest. Young had little knowledge of the geography and environment of the West and no particular destination in mind, but trusting in God, he began to prepare the people of Nauvoo for a mass exodus.

On this day in 1846, Young abandoned Nauvoo and began leading 1,600 Mormons west across the frozen Mississippi in subzero temperatures to a temporary refuge at Sugar Grove, Iowa. Young planned to make the westward trek in stages, and he determined the first major stopping point would be along the Missouri River opposite Council Bluffs. He sent out a reconnaissance team to plan the route across Iowa, dig wells at camping spots, and in some cases, plant corn to provide food for the hungry emigrants. The mass of Mormons made the journey to the Missouri River, and by the fall of 1846, the Winter Quarters were home to 12,000 Mormons.

After a hard journey across the western landscape, Young and his followers emerged out onto a broad valley where a giant lake shimmered in the distance. With his first glimpse of this Valley of the Great Salt Lake, Young reportedly said, "This is the place." That year, some 1,600 Mormons arrived to begin building a new civilization in the valley. The next year, 2,500 more made the passage. By the time Young died in 1877, more than 100,000 people were living in the surrounding Great Basin, the majority of them Mormons.

Young, however, had not escaped the troubles that plagued the Church in the East. By early 1848, the Mormons' haven became a U.S. territory after the American victory in the Mexican War. The Mormons had finally found a permanent home along the Great Salt Lake, but its isolation and freedom from persecution was short-lived.[19]

February 10, 1855

United States citizenship laws are amended to provide citizenship to all children of American parents born outside the United States.[20]



February 10, 1861: Jefferson Davis receives word that he has been selected president of the new Confederate States of America.

Davis was at his plantation, Brierfield, pruning rose bushes with his wife Varina when a messenger arrived from nearby Vicksburg. It was not a job he wanted, but he accepted it out of a sense of duty to his new country. Varina later wrote that she saw her husband's face grow pale and she recalled, "Reading that telegram he looked so grieved that I feared some evil had befallen our family. After a few minutes he told me like a man might speak of a sentence of death."

Davis said of the job: "I have no confidence in my ability to meet its requirement. I think I could perform the function of a general." He could see the difficulties involved in launching the new nation. "Upon my weary heart was showered smiles, plaudits, and flowers, but beyond them I saw troubles innumerable. We are without machinery, without means, and threatened by powerful opposition but I do not despond and will not shrink from the task before me."

Davis was prescient in his concerns. He drew sharp criticism during the war--Alexander Stephens, the vice president, said Davis was "weak and vacillating, timid, petulant, peevish, obstinate," and Stephens declared that he held "no more feeling of resentment toward him" than he did toward his "poor old blind and deaf dog."

February 10, 1899: On this day in 1899, future President Herbert Hoover marries his fellow Stanford University geology student and sweetheart Lou Henry in Monterey, California.

After their nuptials, the newlyweds departed on a honeymoon cruise to China, where Hoover had accepted a position as mining consultant to the Chinese emperor. Barely a year into their married life, the Hoovers got caught in China's Boxer Rebellion of 1900, in which Chinese nationalists rebelled against European colonial control and besieged 800 westerners in the city of Tientsin. Hoover led a group of westerners in building protective barricades while Lou volunteered in a nearby hospital. After the rebellion was put down by an international coalition of troops, the Hoovers left China, splitting their time between residences in California and London and traveling the world.

Raised in Monterey, California, Lou Henry shared her husband's appreciation of the outdoors and athletics. While Hoover served as secretary of commerce in the early 1920s, she helped build the Girl Scouts organization and presided over the Women's Division of the National Amateur Athletic Federation. The Hoovers' experience in China inspired them to also engage in relief work for refugees and tourists stranded in hostile countries. During World War I, Lou chaired the American Women's War Relief Fund and other war-related charitable organizations. In 1929, she became the first president's wife to invite the wife of an African-American congressman to a social function at the White House. The civic-minded and intelligent Mrs. Hoover spoke five languages, authored books and articles and received eight honorary degrees in her lifetime.

Hoover's tenure as president coincided with the Great Depression. Although he had warned against the type of market speculation that led to the stock market crash of 1929, the country blamed him for the Depression for the rest of his term. Lou Hoover stepped up her charitable work during the crisis, but received harsh criticism for continuing to hold lavish White House social events at a time when unprecedented numbers of American citizens suffered utter poverty. Her actions contributed to the president's unpopularity and Hoover left office in disgrace after one term.[25]

1899

In a famous Harper’s Magazine article published in 1899, Mark Twain noted with some amazement that world Jewry, but 0.25 percent of the human race, was “a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk…What is the secret of his immortality?” he asked.[26]



1899

Houston Stewart Chamberlain, racist and anti-Semitic author, publishes his ‘Die Grundlagen des 19 Jahrhunderts’ which later became a basis of National-Socialist ideology.[27]



1899

Blood libel in Bohemia (the Hilsner case).[28]





February 10, 1936: With the unification of the police and the SS, the Gestapo became the supreme police agency of Nazi Germany. Gestapo Law was enacted in Prussia, giving them exclusive right to make arrests, and entitled to investigate all activities considered hostile to the state. The same law gave the Gestapo complete independence from the courts.[29]



February 10, 1944: The first ship to break the British blockade of Palestine arrives in Eretz Israel. Worldwide publicity of "illegal" immigration of Jews to Israel was an important factor in England's ultimate decision to give up the mandate. Most of you know the story the “Exodus” which Leon Uris used as basis for novel of that name that later was a big screen Hollywood event. The story was based on an actual event that took place in 1947. However, it was only one a series of blockade runners seeking to bring Jews from Europe to Palestine despite the White Paper banning immigration and the military might of the British Royal Navy.[30]

February 10, 1944: Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was honored today for her work in helping to rehabilitate 40,000 refugee children in Israel. More than 1,000 persons attended the meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel where she received the first citation and cash award given for humanitarian work with children by Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, in memory of the late Henrietta Szold, founder of the organization.[31]

[11] Hugh Stephenson, a son of GW’s old friend Richard Stephenson of Frederick County and a half brother to Valentine and William Crawford, lived in the Shenandoah Valley until the Revolution. In response to a request by the Continental Congress in June 1775, Virginia raised two companies of riflemen, most of whom came from the Valley and the frontier. The two companies, led by Capt. Daniel Morgan and Capt. Hugh Stephenson, marched to Cambridge and participated in the siege of Boston. A year later (June 1776) Stephenson, now a colonel, was put in command of a combined Virginia-Maryland rifle regiment in the Continental service and died that summer during the New York campaign.

[13] ‘George Rogers Clark was born in Albemarle county, Virginia, on the 19th of November, 1752. lIe was originally a land surveyor. He commanded a company in Dunmore’s war of 1774. The year following, he went to Ken­tucky and took command of the armed settlers there. In the spring of 1778, Major Clark was entrusted with the command of an expedition against the Illinois country, then in possession of the British. The enterprise was under­taken under the auspices of Virginia, and was entirely successful. He was promoted to a colonelcy by the authorities of his native state, and while engaged in a pacification of the Indian tribes upon or near the Mississippi, he learned that Lieutenant Governor Henry Hamilton, of Detroit, had captured Vincennes, and that further blows were to be struck against American posts. Anticipating the enemy, Colonel Clark marched, on the 7th of February, 1779, with one hundred and seventy-five men, against Vincennes. He had to trav­erse a wilderness and the drowned lands of Illinois, suffering every privation from wet, cold and hunger. Vincennes surrendered. Hamilton was made prisoner and sent to Virginia. In August, 1780, Clark led a force against the Shawanese Indians, located upon the waters of the Mad river, in what is now the state of Ohio, defeating them with considerable loss. During Arnold’s invasion, he took a temporary command under Baron Steuben. His next enterprise was directed against Detroit, the site of the present city of that name in the state of Michigan. He was now a brigadier general. This expe­dition proved a failure. (Ante, pp. 53, 76, etc.) In the fall of 1782, he made a successful campaign from Kentucky against the Indians (see, letters, p. 401 ~, but upon a like service in 1786, was unsuccessful. He died near Louisville, Kentucky, February 13, 1818. Washington-Irvine Correspondence by C. W. Butterfield, 1882 page 392.

[22] Duff Green Mansion, stands majestically on First East Street in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The home was constructed in 1856 by local businessman Duff Green for his new wife Mary Lake Green, and features a huge ballroom and dining room, and was known to be the site of many extravagant parties for the elite of pre-war Vicksburg. When the fighting in the Civil War turned to Vicksburg, the Greens made a prudent decision to offer their beloved home as a hospital. The Union wounded were kept on the top floor, the Confederate soldiers were on the main floor, and the basement was used for an Emergeny Room and Surgery. Because of the bloody battle, the house was filled with soldiers from both sides, and some of the blood stains are still on the floors today. Because there wasn’t time, knowledge, or tools to save limbs during surgery, amputation was very common. One basement room was used for that purpose, and because Duff Green Mansion was built on a hill it had a window that was above ground. As the story goes, amputated limbs were tossed out of the window to be taken and buried later, and often there were piles of arms and legs that were many feet tall before they were taken away. After the surrender of Vicksburg on July 4, 1863, the Mansion was leased to the United States Government for use as a Soldiers Home where wounded soldiers could recuperate before their respective journeys home. When the current owners were remodeling in the 1980’s they reportedly found several skeletal limbs buried just below the surface of the ground under that window, they called the police, who had the local funeral home inter the civil war era bones.

Visitors to the home who have a medical background often back out of the room, siting the smell of ether and other medical smell, even though no one else can pick up that scent. In an adjoining room downstairs, guests of the Bed & Breakfast sleeping in the Dixie room sometimes wake up to see a Confederate soldier either standing by the mantle, or rocking in a chair. He’s missing one leg, so apparently he’s been a guest of the hospital at some point. (Duff Green Mansion B & B and Tour Home 1114 First East Street, Vicksburg MS 39180, 601-636-6968.
