A point of clarification. If anybody wants to get to the Torah site, they do not have to go thru Temple Judah. They can use http://DownhomeDavarTorah.blogspot.com and that will take them right to it.

Jeff,
I've talked to my dad about how we want to get a copy of William's diary and he found out from your sister that she has a copy. So he'll order one from her and you don't need to make a new one yourself.
Calvin
Calvin, How is your project coming along? I'm glad Jennifer still has copies available at her store "The Farmers Daughter" Hopefully your dad got a Cinnamon Roll while he was there! Jeff Goodlove
This Day…
515 BCE: On the secular calendar the construction of the Second Temple was completed. (Book of Ezra, 6:15 “And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.” Darius began his reign in 522 BCE.)[1]
No further impediments appear to have developed and the Jerusalem temple was completed in 515 B.C. It was dedicated with proper ceremonies (Ezra vi 16—18), though not so elaborate as one might expect in view of the normal exaggeration of the Chronicler. Whether Zerubbabel was still alive and present is not stated, though Zechariah had prophesied that he would bring the building of the temple to its consummation (Zech iv 9). The much tampered with passage of Zech vi 9_15,26 as it now stands, describes the high priest Joshua receiving the crown which may originally have been intended for Zerubbabel. The plural “crowns” in Zech viii (MT, LXX, Vulg.) points to an earlier version of this prophecy in which leadership of the community rested with both governor and high priest. But the passage in Ezra suggests that such leadership was in the hands of the latter alone. Whether Zerubbabel was removed from office by the Persian authorities prior to his death is uncertain; he seems to have conducted himself quite properly so far as we can tell from the present sources and may have simply returned to Babylon when his work was finished. Something must have happened to the Jewish community in those early years of Darius to dampen its ardor. The Persians were aware of the political fortunes of Jerusalem (cf. Ezra iv 12, 13, 15) and may have nipped the messianism of the prophets in the bud. In any case, the first series of returns failed to achieve significant results and the Jews became further discouraged, as may be seen from the reports which reached Nehemiah at the Persian court more than half a century later.[2]
514-512 B.C.
Cyrus the Great and Darius I of Persia campaigned against the Scythians (Darius from 514-512) who had settled north of the Black Sea. Crossing the Dniester, the Scythians advanced along the lower Danube into the Balkans, and into the Pannonian Plains and the area soth of the Carpathians. An additional advance brought them into Brandenburg (fint at Vettersfelde). Apart from the advance southward into the areas of the early riverine civilizations, the attacks also thrust to the west. The Scythians and Cimmerians reached Eastern Germany, Bavaria and with the Thracians, Northern Italy.[3]
500 BCE to 500 CE
[4]
Despite their enforced separateness, Jewish communities in the Diaspora adopt many customs of the surrounding cultures. Integrating non-Jews into the community through marriage is common practice. Many also convert to Christianity.[5]
496 B.C.
Jeremiah and Ezekiel- Major prophets.[6]
490 B.C. The Battle of Marathon.[7]
486-465 B.C.
Queen Vashtl is deposed. The events in Ester took place during the reign of Xerxes (486-465 B.C.). Ester 1:1-4:17.[8]
[9]
Foundation Slab of Xerxes
Iran: Persepolis, Garrison quarters
Limestone
Achaemenid Period, Reign of Xerxes, 486-465 B.C.
This stone tablet was probably intended as a foundation deposit to be placed under a corner of one of Xerxes’ buildings. However, it was found reused as the facing of a mudbrick bench in the garrison quarters, along with similar stone tablets. The seven tablets had Old Perisn, Babylonian, and Elamite versions of two different inscriptions. This tablet has the Babylonian version of a text that gives the titles and attributes of Xerxes, lists the countries that he ruled that brought him tribute and obeyed his commands, and tells how he suppressed disorder and the worship of “evil ones” (in the Old Persian counterpart, “demons,” Persian daiva) and restored the proper worship of Ahuramazda.

486 to 465 B.C.
From Darius to Artaxerxes I (485—425)
The early part of this period for Judah is obscure. The last years of the reign of Darius were especially marked by unrest; Egypt rebelled. Some unrest may have been created in Judah, though it probably was stirred up by the local enemies of the Jews (Ezra iv 6) rather than by the Jews themselves. Such seems to have been the case especially at the beginning of a new regime. A Jewish revolt of major proportions in 485 B.c. does not appear probable. Rather, despite every encouragement from the Persian authorities, matters do not seem to have improved after the completion of the temple. Much of the trouble was due, in all probability, to the lack of dynamic leadership in the community after the disappearance of Zerubbabel. The relationship of the returnees to the people of the land—both the Jews who remained after 586 and the Samaritans— was never quite clear until the coming of Nehemiah. The territory occupied by the returned Jews was at best small—the area of Jerusalem and its environs as far as Mizpah and Jericho toward the north and east, and Keilah, Beth-zur, and Tekoa toward the south; the valleys toward the west remained in other hands. Lack of clear-cut title to the land must have been discouraging, making for a half-hearted life and provoking just enough concern to eke out the barest existence for the majority of people. The upper classes manipulated their way to much better situations, especially after the voices of Haggai and Zechariah had been quieted. [11]
The book of Ezra covers a time period of eighty years, beginning with Cyrus’s proclamation in 538 B.C. and ending with Ezra’s arrival in Jerusalem in 458 B.C. Ezra 1:1-4. [12]
480 B.C.
Judgment on Israel’s Enemies. Zachariah’s final prophecies are undated, but they are thought to have been given as late as 480 B.C. Zechariah 9:1-17.[13]
480 B.C. An army of 200,000 Persians was met at Thermopylae in 480 B.C. by a Greek force of 7300 men under command of a Spartan, Leonidas. After a stubborn defense, the Greeks were annihilated. The Persians entered Athens and leveled the city. But at the naval battle of Salamis, the Persians were almost wiped out. On the same day, a Greek force routed the Carthaginian allies of Persia.[14]
465-460 B.C.
King Artaxerxes stops the Work. When the Jews began to rebuild Jerusalem, foreigners living in Judah attempted to stop them. Their efforts to do so began during Xerxes first year as king (486 B.C.)but were probably not successful until early in Artaxerxes’ reign (465-460 B.C.).
458 B.C.
Ezra returned to Jerusalem in 458 B.C. Ezra 7:1-8:14.[15]
March 12, 604: Pope Gregory I passed away. Born in 540, Gregory was Pope from 590 until 604. The great prelate was a vigorous foe of Judaism, a religion he believed was based on depravity. In his eyes, “the Jewish understanding of scripture was perverse.” He sought to keep Jews and Christians apart. He forbade Christians from using Jewish doctors and would not let the clergy employee Jews as clerks. Jews were not to hold public office, build new synagogues, marry non-Jews or convert Christians to Judaism. But Gregory was not an unmitigated anti-Semite. On several occasions he protected the private property and synagogue of European Jews. One of his writings summed up the view, “ Just as it is not befitting to permit Jews in their communitiies to go beyond the boundaries of what is permissible by law, so also the rights they alread have should not be diminished.”[16]
610: In 610 the Persian King Chosroes II declared war on the Empire. Which for eight years had been ruled by a savage and incompetent usurper, Phocas. [17]
611: When the Persians invaded Syria the Emperor’s forces received no help from the local population. The invaders occupied Antioch in 611.[18]
612 Visigoth Spain, Jews expelled.[19]
613: Persia invades Damascus in 613.[20]
March 12: 1421: In Vienna, under the auspices of Archduke Albert of Austria, a combination of murder, libel and host-desecration charges brought about the destruction of the entire Jewish community. This was partly due to the revival of the crusader spirit of the Hussite Wars. Many Jews were forcibly baptized, others took their own lives. The rest were forced to leave. Later this became known as the Wiener Gezairah (The Vienna edict).[21]
1422
In 1422, a ruling was made that henceforth all business and government affairs would be conducted in English, no French. [22]
March 12, 1496: The Jews were expelled from Syria.[23]
1496-97 Jews from Portugal [to Holland, Brazil and Maghreb] {bear in mind the "official" discovery of Brazil, by Portugal, was in 1500!!}[24]
During 1497, Jews, both children and adults, were physically dragged into church and forcibly baptized. Others voluntarily accepted Christianity in order to remain in the country and escape enslavement to the monarch, the penalty for accepting neither expulsion nor conversion. In the end relatively little emigration under the order occurred, and most Jews became New Christians rather than face enslavement.[25]
1499: Jews expelled from Germany.[26]

Isle of Iona in the Reilig Orain (S. Oran's Chapel),
The altar slab of the Cathedral itself came from MacKinnon's country of Strath. It was one of the finest pieces of marble ever seen, being granulated and pure white. No trace of it now remains. Close to the altar on the north side of the choir, is a tomb stone of black marble quite entire, on which is a very fine recumbent figure of the Abbot MacFingon, as large as life, in his sacred robes, with a crozier in one hand, and the other lifted up to his chin, elbowing two lions at one end, and spurning two at the other. This elegant tomb stone which has always been considered the stateliest in the island, is supported by four pedestals about one foot high, and round the margin is the inscription, "Hic jacet Johannes Macfingone Abbas de Hy [Iona,] qui obiit anno Domini millessimo quingen tessimo [I500], Cujus animae propitietur DEUS altissimus. Amen." [27]
1500
Linguists believe that as many as “age of exploration.” Today only 6,000 spoken languages are left, and perhaps as many as 90 percent of these will be lost by the end of this century. We are losing a language every two weeks through the same migration process that is mixing the world’s genetic lineages. [28]
1500
Go back twenty generations, to about 1500 CE, and there could be, theoretically, over one million ancestors who could have contributed to your nuclear genes. In practice, many of these potential ancestors will actually be the same individuals, whose lines of descent have come down to you along different pathways, crossing between males and females through the generations in an unpredictable way. Tracing the genealogy of all 30,000 genes through this maze of interconnections would be quite impossible.[29]
1500
The Spanish brought horses to America about 1500.[30]
March 12, 1517
In 1515, (temp. James V.) we find that Neill MacKinnon of Mishnish was at the head of the clan, and in 1517 he, in conjunction with MacLean of Dowart, petitioned the Regent and Council for free remission of all offences, to themselves and their “part-takers.” This remission was granted on March 12th, 1517. It was in the rebellion of Sir Donald Macdonald of Lochalsh that they had taken up arms. [31]
The Protestant Reformation in the early to mid 1500s saw most Prussians convert to Protestantism whereas Poland remained, and still remains, solidly Roman Catholic. In 1525 Ducal Prussia became a hereditary duchy under Albreckt Hohenzollern, the last grand master of the Teutonic Knights.[32]
Jews in Poland and Lithuania develop a particular mode of Talmudic study and enrich Jewish culture with many new religious streams and customs. Their religious academies attract students from all over the Jewish world. They speak Yiddish, a mixture of medieval German and Hebrew.
Communities elect provincial councils and create for the first time a large representative body, the Council of the Lands, that regulates both economic and religious affairs for Jew in most Eastern European states.[33]
March 12, 1664: New Jersey becomes a colony of England. A year later, New Jersey granted religious toleration to those living in the colony.[34]
March 12, 1682: Anti-Jewish riots beak out in Krakow.[35]
1682
Major Lawrence Smith’s services were as follows: Major and Commander of fort, Rappahannock County.[36]
Lieutenant-Colonel, 1682. [37]
March 12, 1715: Elector Max Emanuel ordered the expulsion of the few Jews still living in Bavaria, Germany.[38]

March 12, 1776: Clinton finally reached North Carolina on March 12, by which time the North Carolina Loyalists had been routed at Moore's Creek Bridge on February 27. The royal governors of North and South Carolina met Clinton to give him the bad news, but Commodore Peter Parker and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis had not yet arrived from Cork, Ireland, to support Clinton in his efforts to suppress the American rebellion.

TO BARON DE STEUBEN.
(ORIGINAL--A FRAGMENT.)
Albany, March 12th. (March 12, 1778
Permit me to express my satisfaction at your having seen General
Washington. No enemies to that great man can be found except among the
enemies to his country; nor is it possible for any man of a noble
spirit to refrain from loving the excellent qualities of his heart. I
think I know him as well as any person, and such is the idea which I
have formed of him; his honesty, his frankness, his sensibility, his
virtue, to the full extent in which this word can be understood, are
above all praise. It is not for me to judge of his military talents;
but, according to my imperfect knowledge of these matters, his advice
in council has always appeared to me the best, although his modesty
prevents him sometimes from sustaining it; and his predictions have
generally been fulfilled. I am the more happy in giving you this
opinion of my friend with all the sincerity which I feel, because some
persons may perhaps attempt to deceive you on this point.[41]
March 12, 1779
Brig. Gen. Lachlan McIntosh to Gen. Washington
The emigration down the Ohio from this quarter I fear will depopulate it altogether, unless I have orders to put a timely stop to it immediately. It is thought that near one-haif of what remain here will go down to Kentucky, the Falls, or the Illinois, as they say themselves, this Spring. Their design of securing land is so great, notwithstanding the danger of this country, they will go. . . . I am sorry to inform you, that contrary to my expectations, things have taken a turn here much for the worse, since I wrote you on the 13th of January. The 30th of that month I received an express from Colonel Gibson, informing me that one Simon Girty, a renegade among many others from this place, got a small party of Mingoes—a name by which the Six Nations, or rather Seneca tribe is known among the Western Indians—and waylaid Captain Clark, of the 8th Pennsylvania Regiment, with a Sergeant and 14 Privates, about three miles this side of Fort Laurens as they were returning after escorting a few supplies to that fort and made Clark retreat to the fort again after killing two, and taking one of his men with his saddle bags and all his letters.
Upon hearing this unexpected intelligence, I immediately sent for Colonels Crawford and Brodhead to advise them upon the best method of supplying that garrison with provisions, of which it was very short, and who had barely horses enough fit for service to transport a sufficient quantity of flour over the mountains for our daily consumption, and source of forage for them, altho’ they were most worn down. It was therefore thought most eligible upon that and other accounts to send a supply by water up Muskingum River by Major Taylor, who was charged with that duty. .
The 26th of February, a scalping party killed and carried off 18 persons, men, women and children, upon the branches of Turtle Creek, 20 miles east of this, upon the Pennsylvania Road, which was the first mischief done in the settlements since I marched for Tuscarawas, and made me apprehensive now that the savages were all inimically inclined and struck the inhabitants of Westmoreland with such a panick that a great part of them were moving away. While I was endeavoring to rouse the militia, and contriving by their assistance to retaliate and make an excursion to some Mingo towns upon the branches of Allegheny River who were supposed to have done the mischief a messenger came to me on the 3rd of March instant, who slipt out of Fort Laurens in the night of Sunday the 28th February by whom Colonel Gibson would not venture to write, and informed me, that on the morning of Tuesday, 23d February, a waggoner who was sent out of the fort for the horses to draw wood, and 18 men to guard him, were fired upon, and all killed and scalped in sight of the fort, which the messenger left invested and besieged by a number of Wyandottes, Chippewas, Delawares, &c., and in the last account I had from them, which made me very unhappy, as they were so short of provision, and out of my power to supply them with any quantity, or,if I had it, with men for an escort, since Major Taylor went, who I thought now was inevitably lost; and if I had both, there were no horses to carry it, or forage to feed them, without which they cannot subsist at this season.In this extreme emergency and difficulty, I earnestly requested the Lieutenants of the several countys on this side of the mountains to collect all of the men, horses, provisions and forage they could at any price, and repair to Beaver Creek on Monday next, the 15th instant, in order to march on the next day to Tuscarawas; and if they would not be prevailed to turn out, I was determined with such of the Continental troops as are able to march, and all the provisions we have, at all events to go to the relief of Fort Laurens, upon the support of which I think the salvation of this part of the country depends.
I have yet no intelligence from the country that I can depend on. Some say the people will turn out on this occasion with their horses; others, that mischievous persons influenced by our disgusted staff are discouraging them as much as possible. But I am now happily relieved by the arrival of Major Taylor here, who returned with 100 men and 200 kegs of flour. He was six days going 20 miles up Muskingum River, the waters were so high and stream so rapid; and as he had above 130 miles more to go, he judged it impossible to relieve Colonel Gibson in time, and therefore returned, having lost two of his men sent to flank him upon the shore, who were killed and scalpt by some warriors coming down Muskingum River, and I have my doubts of our only pretended friends, the Delawares of Cooshoching [Goschachgunk], as none other are settled upon that water.
I have the honor to enclose you the last return from Colonel Brodhead at Beaver Creek [Fort McIntosh]. . .

* * *
New Madrid District, Upper Louisiana
Gen. Benjamin Harrison was among the most prominent men of the New Madrid settlement. He came from Kentucky where he had distinguished himself in the border wars. He was a man of property, a slave owner, and had a large family. He fully entered into the plans of Col. George Morgan* and proposed to bring a large number of settlers into the country. His sons, Lawrence and William, were among Morgan's followers. Another son, Benjamin, Jr. was also at New Madrid. With Gen. Harrison came Benjamin Hinkston, his son-in-law and son of the celebrated John Hinkston (or Hinkson) who himself came to New Madrid from Kentucky. In 1802 while Gen. Harrison was absent on a trip to Kentucky, George N. Reagan forced his son to surrender a negro slave, claimed as part payment of land bought of Reagan, but afterward Harrison recovered the slave by suit. [45]
*The influence of Col. George Morgan in bringing many of his old companions in arms from Pennsylvania to the Spanish province of Louisiana induced Gen. Benjamin Harrison, of Pennsylvania, and Col. John Harrison, who had settled in Kentucky to come to the new country with him. Both the Harrisons afterwards removed from New Madrid to the Ste. Genevieve District. [46]
Sat. March 12[47], 1864 (William Harrison Goodlove Civil War Diary by Jeff Goodlove,)
Drilled once. Cooking and preparing for
a march. Received a letter from home 2d
dated Feb 25
March 12, 1864: One of the biggest military fiascos of the war begins as a combined Union force of infantry and riverboats begins moving up the Red River in Louisiana. The month-long campaign was poorly managed and achieved none of the objectives set forth by Union commanders.
The campaign had several strategic goals. The Union hoped to capture everything along the Red River in Louisiana and continue into Texas. President Lincoln hoped to send a symbolic warning to France, which had set up a puppet government in Mexico and seemed to have designs on territorial expansion. Finally, the expedition could also capture cotton-producing regions, a product in short supply in the North.
The plan called for Admiral David Dixon Porter to take a flotilla of 20 gunboats up the Red River while General Nathaniel Banks led 27,000 men along the western shore of the river. Porter's squadron entered the river on March 12. Two days later, Fort Derussy fell to the Yankees and the ships moved upriver and captured Alexandria. So far, the expedition was going well, but Banks was moving too slowly. He arrived two weeks after Porter took Alexandria, and he continued to plod towards Shreveport. Banks traveled nearly 20 miles from the Red River, too far for the gunboats to offer any protection. On April 8, Banks' command was attacked and routed by General Richard Taylor, son of former president Zachary Taylor. They fought again the next day, but this time the Yankees held off the Rebel pursuit.
The intimidated Banks elected to retreat back down the river before reaching Shreveport. Porter's ships followed, but the Red River was unusually low and the ships were stuck above some rapids near Alexandria. It appeared that the ships would have to be destroyed to keep them from falling into Confederate hands, but Lt. Colonel Joseph Bailey of Wisconsin, an engineer with a logging background, supervised several thousand soldiers in constructing a series of wing dams that raised the water level enough for the ships to pass. The expedition was deemed a failure--it drew Union strength away from other parts of the South and the group never reached Texas.[48]
March 12, 1865: William McKinnon Goodlove, and the Union Army, K Co. 57th Battle at Fayetteville, North Carolina on March 12, 1865.[49]
On March 12,1917 the revolution triumphed when regiment after regiment of the Petrograd garrison defected to the cause of the demonstrators. The soldiers, some 150,000 men, subsequently formed committees that elected deputies to the Petrograd Soviet.
The imperial government was forced to resign, and the Duma formed a provisional government that peacefully vied with the Petrograd Soviet for control of the revolution. [50]
March 12, 1917: During the Russian Revolution, the Duma elected a “provisional committee” which was effectively a new executive branch for the Russian government that would replace the Czar. The apparent triumph of these social democrats offered hope (ultimately false hope) for the Jews of Russia that revolution would lead to liberation.[51]
March 12, 1921: The Histadrut (General Federation of Labor) passed a resolution to establish the Haganah. Haganah, (literally "defense") was established for the purpose stated in its name. It was organized to protect the Jewish settlements from Arab attacks - something the British could not or would not do.[52]
March 12, 1938: Despite a 1919 treaty forbidding their union on March 12, 1938. The German Army marched into Austria unopposed. [53] Hitler entered Austria to the greetings of the Church and Cardinal Innitzer. Seys-Inquert, who later achieved infamy as a mass murderer of Jews, was appointed Chancellor.[54] In early 1938, Austrian Nazis conspired for the second time in four years to seize the Austrian government by force and unite their nation with Nazi Germany. Austrian Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg, learning of the conspiracy, met with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler in the hopes of reasserting his country's independence but was instead bullied into naming several top Austrian Nazis to his cabinet. On March 9, Schuschnigg called a national vote to resolve the question of Anschluss, or "annexation," once and for all. Before the plebiscite could take place, however, Schuschnigg gave in to pressure from Hitler and resigned on March 11. In his resignation address, under coercion from the Nazis, he pleaded with Austrian forces not to resist a German "advance" into the country. The next day, March 12, Hitler accompanied German troops into Austria, where enthusiastic crowds met them. Hitler appointed a new Nazi government, and on March 13 the Anschluss was proclaimed. Austria existed as a federal state of Germany until the end of World War II, when the Allied powers declared the Anschluss void and reestablished an independent Austria. Schuschnigg, who had been imprisoned soon after resigning, was released in 1945.[55]
March 12, 1939: Pope Pius XII was crowned Pope in Vatican ceremonies. While the Catholic Church may be considering Pious XII for canonization, the Jewish view of him is one who is “impious.”[56]
March 12, 1942: Thirty thousand Jews are deported from Lublin to Belzec.[57]
March 12: 1942: The Nazis ordered 8,000 Jews from southern Polish town of Mielec to be at the train station. The next morning, as they gathered, 2,000 children and elderly were shot dead at the train station.[58]
• Mid March 1942: At a press conference held by S. Bertrand Jacobson in mid-March, 1942, based a report on eyewitness statements. Estimating that the Nazis had already massacred 240,000 Jews in the Ukraine alone, Jacobson stated that the killing in Eastern Europe was continuing at full fury. Among the most horrifying revelations to appear in the United States until that time (but omitted from the Times’ account) was a description by a Hungarian soldier who had seen a vast burial site near Kiev. Seven thousand Jews, some shot dead but others wounded and still alive, had been thrown into the shallow grave and covered thinly with dirt. Burned into the soldier’s memory was the sight of the field, “heaving like a living sea.”[59]
March 12, 1943: Tonight is the night when Oskar Schindler changed his life, the life of his workers and history. Addressing his workers, he told them not to go home tonight. The Krakow ghetto, he said, would be liquidated the next day. Schindler had witnessed the killings and decided he must protect his laborers. He would build his own concentration camp as a satellite to Kraków-Plaszów, and his staff would compile the now famous list of workers he wanted transferred to his camp.[60]
March 12, 1945: According to some sources, this is the day Anne Frank died at Bergen Belsen two months before the liberation by British forces.[61]
March 12, 1947: Speaking as leader of the Loyal Opposition, Churchill attacks the Labor Party’s policy in Palestine attacking what he called “a senseless, squalid war with the Jews, in order to give Palestine to the Arab or God knows who.”[62]
March 12, 1947: A British corvette warned British troops that a large number of Jewish refugees on board the SS Susanna, were attempting to land on the southern coast of Palestine.

March 12, 1947: During a session of the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Palestine, Auni Bey Abdulhadi described the “wartime associations of the Mufti of Jerusalem…with Hitler and Mussolini.”[64]
