Jeff, please remove me from the daily blog email of This Day in Goodlove history as it has turned to things that I care not hear about in daily blog, such as the holocust and the entire jewish or whatever history. Continue me on personal emails or family emails but no longer on the daily blog as it is becoming non-important or non impressive to me. If I care to study the entire history of the world I will do that on my own. Thanks, Jay

Jay, No problem. you can check in at www.thisdayingoodlovehistory.blogspot.com anytime. Jeff

dear Jeff



Wishing you and your family a Zeissen Pesach (Sweet Passover).



Susan





Thanks Susan, Zeissen Pesach to you and your family too. We celebrated a Seder at Baker Methodist the other night and it was such a nice event. It is an event that I believe the church should be very proud of, because I am. At the following service that night our minister told a story of from her hometown in Nebraska of a KKK "dragon" or leader who was continually harassing a Jewish man who also lived in the same town, trying to get him to move. The Jewish man, who knew who it was that was calling him called the man back and told him that if he ever needed assistance (the "dragon" was in a wheelchair) he would come over and help him. He continued to do this every day. After a while the "dragon" called him and said "stop harassing me!" Sometime later the "dragon" called again and said that he wanted out of the Klan but did not know how to do it. Eventually the man did get out and eventually the man moved in with the Jewish man’s family where he was taken care of until he died.



At last night’s Good Friday service, another minister at Baker Methodist told the story of the Passion and for the first time I heard it without the blaming of Christ's Crucifixion on the Jews. Again I was very proud of the Church because it was the first time in my life I have heard it told that way.



Shalom, Jeff

Dear Jeff,

Many believe that the clash between the Arabs and Israelis is political and that the religious factor has just lately risen to the surface; that is an erroneous assumption. It has long been a conflict between two books and two spirits: The Bible and the Quran, and the spirit of death (jihad) and the spirit of life. It is, indeed, a religious conflict. The danger that emanates from Iran's proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad is the direct result of the belief that each terrorist entity speaks for Allah and is acting at his behest to bring death to the infidels.

The center of gravity for the fundamentalist Islam wolf pack is Iran. Its footprint can be seen in comments by the head of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, who refers to himself as the special envoy, not of Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but of its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. This gives subtle overtones of Shi'a radicalism to Hezbollah. At last count, the terrorist group has some 50,000 rockets trained on Israel. And while the Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza with their 5,000 rockets can't vie in numbers, they can compete in the intensity of their hatred for the Jewish nation.



There was a time when Arab players linked their distinctiveness to the country from which they came (nationalism). Today, they more readily identify themselves simply as practicing and non-practicing Muslims. The factors that will one day blur the lines between the Shi'a and the Sunni Muslims is a desire of both to see an Islamic caliphate dominate the world, and their hatred for Israel.


This is why when dealing with Iran, the U.S. must understand that there are truths in the political arena which cannot be denied: harsh sanctions can work, the U.S. must maintain its role as a world leader, and its support for Israel must not waiver. It is the only firewall between radical Islam and the West.

Iran needs the world trade market to sustain its economy. Tighter sanctions, especially by China, Russia, and the European Union (all of which continue to trade heavily with Iran) could do much to rein-in its leaders' determination to obtain nuclear capability.

If Iran is allowed to pursue its nuclear ambitions to a logical conclusion, the world will have changed forever. The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty will not be worth the paper on which it is written. Several Middle East countries, including Egypt, have determined to follow the nuclear path if Iran is successful. Some will simply acquire nuclear weapons without fanfare. The U.S. and its allies will be impotent to corral the feathers that have been cast upon the hot desert winds. No one will have to wonder if Armageddon will happen in our generation; it will. A nuclear arms race between the Shi'a and Sunnis who occupy the 200-mile Persian Gulf coast will guarantee it.

Countries that cannot afford to enter the nuclear race would be obliged or coerced to take sides, and many would side with the bully on the block—Iran. The havoc we see in the world oil market would be minimal compared to what would happen if Iran were to control the flow to the West.

Since its rebirth, Israel has been a staunch ally of the United States and a bastion of democracy in the region. The U.S. must not turn its back on Israel. The strong military deterrence provided by that tiny nation is of the utmost importance in pursuing peace in the Middle East. Thus far it has been only preventative because Israel has not been allowed to unleash the might of its military against its enemies.

At some point, the line of demarcation will be crossed, and Israel will be forced to do what its allies do not seem to have the courage to do—remember Iraq's Osirik nuclear reactor? If the U.S. fails to stand behind Israel's attempts to free the world from Iran's implied threats of nuclear attacks, the results will be catastrophic.

On the other hand, if the U.S. stiffens its resolve to be the true leader of the Western world and takes its place as such, the threat from Iran will be averted, and the countries now seeking democracy and a better way of life will not be held hostage by the religious radicals who wish to control not only the Middle East, but the world.

The Jewish people urgently need our help right now. They need our prayers. They need us to speak out in support of their right to live in peace and safety. And they need to know that Christian friends around the world stand with them at this critical moment in prophetic history.


Your ambassador to Jerusalem,

Dr. Michael Evans

This Day…

April 23, 34 A.D. [1] : According to Sir Isaac Newton, this is the date of the crucifixion of Jesus.[2]

35 A.D.

One widespread tradition claims that Joseph of Arimathea brought the Gospel to Britain in A.D. 35, or about the twenty first year of Tiberius, and died in England.[3]

36 A.D.

Around the year 36 A.D. Paul had a “conversion” experience in which he clamed to have “seen” the risen Jesus. He said he had received both a revelation and a commission that Jesus was the heavenly exalted “Christ” and that he, Paul, was to preach the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus to the Gentile world. [4]

Tiberius (14-37 A.D.) who succeeded Augustus, was the son of his second wife, Livbia, but by a previous husband, so there was no blood link between them. [5]

April 23, 1185: Birthdate Alfonzo II, the third King of Portugal who was part of a dynasty that who provided a comparatively secure environment for their Jewish subjects. He was the grandson of King Alfonso I and the son of King Sancho I both of whom had recognized the Jewish community, allowing it settle its own legal problems. King Alfonzo set the tone for the dynasty when he appointed Yahia ben Yahi III, the first chief Rabbi of the Portuguese Jewish community to serve as his royal tax collector.[6]

1185

The leper King died in 1185, and his tiny nephew died the following year.[7]

1185

The Temple Church in London built by the Knights Templar in 1185 gives us some clues. They wanted their Church round to remind them of their home, The Holy Seplecer. [8]

April 23, 1229: As the Christians fought the Moors, Ferdinand III of Castile re-conquered Caceres. During this period the city had an important Jewish quarter: By the start of 15th century 140 Jewish families lived in city that had a population of 2000 people. As with everything in Sephard the story of the Jews of Caceres ends the same way with the expulsion by Queen Isabella and Ferdinand of Aragon in 1492.[9]

April 23, 1307: Princess Joan of Acre[10]- Cnts. Gloucester, born 1272 in Acre, Palestine; died April 23, 1307 in Austin Friar's, Clare, Suffolk, England. She was the daughter of 2. King of England Edward I (Longshanks) and 3. Eleanor of Castille, "Cts de Ponthieu". She married (1) Earl/Gloucester3 Gilbert "The Red" 7th Earl de Clare "6th Earl" April 30, 1290 in Westminster Abby, London, England. He was born September 02, 1243 in Christchurch, Hampshire, England/Christchurch, England, and died December 07, 1295 in Monmouth Castle. He was the son of Earl/Gloucester Richard de Clare and Maud de (LACY) LACIE. She married (2) Baron Ralph de MONTHERMER (Earl Gloucester) January 1296/97. He was born in of Tonebrugge, Castle, Kent, England, and died in (35 yrs old).[11]

April 23, 1533: The Church of England annuls the marriage between Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII. This was a major step in the break between Protestant England and Catholic Europe including France, Spain and those under the sway of the Pope. The English would be a valuable ally for the Protestants who were struggling to establish themselves in such places as the Netherlands and the Germanic states. For the Jews, this growing division among European Christians had the short term disadvantage of being caught between two warring parties and abused accordingly. In the long run, it was advantageous. Protestant England (even when the Catholic James II would come to throne) and Holland would provide early and safe havens for European Jews, especially those looking for homes and opportunity after their experience with the Spanish Inquisition.[12]

April 23, 1564: Birthdate of William Shakespeare. Was Shakespeare an anti-Semite? The question comes up every time there is a revival of “The Merchant of Venice.” The term Shylock, the term “pound of flesh” and the line “oh my ducats oh my daughter” have provided fodder for anti-Semites through the centuries. On the other hand, Shakespeare depicts Shylock as a human with feelings, which was certainly a cut above the normal portrayal during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. According to some critics, “Merchant of Venice” was written as The Bard’s theatrical response to Christopher Marlow’s, “The Jew of Malta.”[13]

April 23, 1615: Louis XIII decreed that all Jews must leave the country within one month on pain of death. This decree became the basis for the infamous Code Noir the Black Code which forbade Jews to live in French colonies in the New World including in 1724 the colony of Louisiana. This may explain why there are no Jewish Creoles in New Orleans society.[14]

April 23, 1615: Christians in France were forbidden, under pain of death, to shelter or converse with Jews, by order of Louis XIII.[15]

April 23: 1661: King Charles II of England, Scotland and Ireland is crowned in Westminster Abbey. The coronation of Charles II marked the Restoration following the death of Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell had allowed the Jews to quietly re-enter England and develop a community. “Technically, the 1558 Act of Uniformity, which labeled any rites other than those of the Church of England unlawful remained in force.” But while still in the Netherlands, trying to secure his throne, Charles had assured Amsterdam that English Jews had nothing to fear from his kingship. A generous contribution from Jewish bankers and merchants certainly helped the situation. Once in power, the king proved true to his word. When Christian merchants tried to oust their Jewish competition on grounds that they were not members of the Church, Charles stood by his Jewish subjects as long as they obeyed the laws and remained peaceful subjects. In 1673, an anti-Semitic mob demanded that the Jewish leaders be punished for worshipping in public. When a grand jury caved in an indicted some of the leading Jews, the Israelites threatened to leave the kingdom rather than give up their religious liberties. Charles issued orders to halt the proceedings and “not to cause any more anxieties to Jews.”[16]

April 23, 1701

Ebenezer Zane did not endear himself to the Quaker elders when he attended, with Penn, the Kensington Treaty or Great Elm Treaty, as some called it, on April 23, 1701, to purchase a tract o the great forested lands stretching north and west from the site o Philadelphia, a treaty that years later, because o an ambiguity, greatly defrauded the Delawares.[17]

1700’s: The name "Cutlip" appears in England as early as the seventeenth century; however, the preponderance of evidence — circumstantial in some cases — strongly suggests a German origin for most, if not all, branches of the Cutlip family. The German name Gottlieb can be used as either a given or family name, much like "Bruce" or "Lester" or "Clark" can be either first, middle, or last names in English-speaking countries. Gott is German for God. Lieb is German for love. Gottlieb, then, means "love of God." Another West Virginia family with German roots is named Crislip today; but was Christlieb back then.[18]

Immigrants came to the Shenandoah Valley from northern colonies where land was prohibitedly expensive. Settlers here included German Lutherans fleeing the wars of the 1700’s. [19]

Tuesday April 23, 1754

The officers of the Virginia Regiment decide to press on and build their road to Redstone Creek (on the Monongahela) even though the French now control the Forks of the Ohio. [20]

George Washington to Edward Hubbard, April 23, 1756

April 23, 1756

Sir: it has been determined here in a Council of War, that it would be most advisable for you to evacuate your Fort at Enock’s: destroy it, and join Captain Harrison at Edwards’s, with your Party, stores, and the inhabitants. As we are not acquainted with their situation at Cox’s, it was thought best that you send the sergeant there, a conditional Order to join you at Enocks’s, or keep possession where he is (which ever he and the Inhabitants, from the situation of affairs, think most advisable;) until we can send them some assistance, which will, I hope, be very soon; as I expect to be joined by a number of men shortly.

You are to send him this Order immediately. If he retreats to your party, you must order him to destroy the Fort, ere he quits the place.

I would recommend it to the Inhabitants, to drive down their Cattle, &c. with them. Yours, etc.[21]



April 32, 1779:

In answer to General Knyphausen's opinion, Frederick II., Land-

grave of Hesse-Cassel, wrote him April 23, 1779.^



As soon as the exchange of the captured officers began,

in the spring of 1778, and the liberated prisoners returned

to the British army in Philadelphia a court was instituted to

examine into the cause of the surprise at Trenton and to

determine who was to blame for the disaster. Colonel Carl

Uphraim von Gozen of the von Donop regiment, afterward

of the regiment Prinz Carl, Major Ludwig Friedrich von

Stamfurth of the regiment du Corps and Captain Ludwig

Maive von Mallet of the von Linsingen battalion constituted

the court. From time to time all the ofificers of the Rail

brigade who were then living and who had not gone over to

the American army testified before this court as to their

knowledge of the affair.



The first meeting of the court was held in Philadelphia

April 13, 1778, and continued there April 14, 18, 21, 22, 28,

May I and 2. Then Justin Heinrich Motz, upper auditor,

prepared. May 4, 1778, a description of the surprise at Tren-

ton " as far as I can understand it from the investigation

documents." The court continued to convene May 7, 8, 9,

II, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21 and 22. After a march through

the Jerseys and the battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778, it

reconvened at Horn's Hook, near Haarlem, New York, in the

camp of the regiment von Donop, and continued August 4,

5,6, 7, 10, 12, 13 and 17. On August 18 it met at John's

House, New York, on August 24 at Lieutenant-Colonel

Scheffer's quarters, on August 29 again at Horn's Hook and

at the Morris House on September 23, 1778. The result of

all this investigation was attested by Justin Heinrich Motz,

upper auditor, and sent to the Prince of Hesse, September

23, 1778, officially signed and with the Hessian auditorial



seal affixed.



On December 22, 1778, a Hessian official at Cassel, Wa-

german by name, made a digest of all the reports, state-

ments and conclusions for the benefit of the Prince of Hesse.



The investigation dragged along during the years 1780

and 1 78 1, and on December 13, 1781, Auditor Johann Jacob

Lotheisen gave to the Landgrave of Hesse an estimate of

the killed and wounded of the Rail brigade.^



On January 5, 1782, a court-martial was again organized,

and all the officers who took part in the affair at Trenton

were again examined or had their former testimony read to

them, they assenting to it.



Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Scheffer of the von Lossberg

regiment was unable to be present before this court, and

he sent a letter to them, v/hich communication is herewith

given, as well as the proceedings of the court relative to

their action in the matter.^



This court was in session for a week, and at the end of that

time, January 11, 1782, the officers of each of the different

ranks represented were called upon for their opinions as to

the cause of the disaster at Trenton. It is very interesting

to read the different views of the matter, from those of the

young ensigns, up through the different grades, each officer

having had longer experience in the service, until we learn

what the veteran colonels had to say of the cause of the

defeat. 3



On the 15th day of April, 1782, a special commission

which had been ordered by the Prince of Hesse to convene

at Cassel to review all the minutes of the courts, the testi-

mony there given and the opinions expressed, addressed to

the prince a communication in which a final summing up of

the whole case was attempted.* The war being then virtu-

ally over, this was the last action taken in the matter. Dur-

ing all these years the regiments of von Lossberg and von

Knyphausen had not been allowed to carry new company

and regimental colors. In 1777 the name of the grenadier

regiment Rail had been changed to the grenadier regiment

Woellwarth, in 1778 to the regiment von Trumbach, and in

1779 to the regiment d'Angelelli.



The "War Commission" confirmed the "verdict" of the

court of inquiry, that " Colonel Rail and Major von Dechow

in many respects acted culpably and laid the foundation for

the bad fate of the brigade." [22]

April 23, 1896: Oscar Goodlove was doing business in Anamosa Monday of this week.[28]

By April 23, 1906 most fires were extinguished, in San Francisco and authorities commenced the task of rebuilding the devastated metropolis. It was estimated that some 3,000 people died as a result of the Great San Francisco Earthquake and the devastating fires it inflicted upon the city. Almost 30,000 buildings were destroyed, including most of the city's homes and nearly all the central business district.[29]

April 23, 1923: Ex Senator LeRoy Percy of Greenville, Mississippi, in a remarkable address delivered April 23, 1923, to his fellow townsmen, an address that should be read by all Americans where the Klan is an issue, says: “ This thing has come into our midst, parting friends, sowing discord, dissension, and hatred where there was gentleness and love and friendship; disrupting churches, threatening civic societies, destroying the spirit of cooperation, and making man look with suspicion on man and wonder whether his neighbor is his friend or his secret enemy. You walk the street and feel that you are standing among hostile people. Standing less than twelve months from the time when we gathered on this platform together, and looking back through a mist of hate that has arisen from this Klan business, like miasma from a morass, it is hard to visualize the town as it was a year ago, it is hard to call it back.”[30]

Late spring, 1923: By late spring, construction on the new school building in Buck Creek had begun and the board was actively seeking a superintendent and a full complement of teachers.[31] The new school would not be completed until the spring term in 1924. Therefore, for the 1923-1924 school year, the Buck Creek board had to hire teachers who were willing and capable of teaching all eight grades in one of the six country schools during the fall and winter terms, before they assumed their more specialized teaching roles in the consolidated school in the spring. Lee H. Campbell was hired as the district’s first superintendent at a salary of $255 per month for nine months, approximately three times higher than the salary of any of the country school teachers then employed in the district. Two of the teachers hired were slated to teach in the high school department of the consolidated school when it opened. The other four would assume responsibility for two grades each in its grade school department. Only two of these teaches were rehired for the 1924-1925 school year. [32]

April 23, 1938 Jews in Vienna, Austria, were rounded up on the Sabbath by Nazis and forced to eat grass at the Prater, a local amusement park. Many of the victimized Jews suffered heart attacks and a few died.[33]

April 23, 1939: The police arrested 218 more illegal immigrants near Jaffa early this morning. The group that included fifty women and ten children had been put ashore by a Greek ship near Ashkelon. The British forces found them wandering in the dunes. They were taken to holding camps in Jaffa. Along the way, the convoy passed several Jewish settlements where the residents cheered these latest escapees from Hitler’s Europe.[34]

April 23, 1940: The Nazis ordered the Jews to jump in cesspool at the Stutthof Labor Camp. The short ones drown.[35]

April 23, 1943: Much to everybody's surprise, the Warsaw Uprising continues even though supplies and weapons are at the bare minimum. By now the Poles know what is going on. They watch, but they offer no aid. The Polish underground will suffer a similar fate in 1945. Then they will rise up against the Nazis, but the Soviet troops wait outside the city giving the Germans to wipe the predominately non-Communist part of the resistance movement. As somebody once said, as you treat your Jews, so shall you be treated.[36]

April 23, 1948(14th of Nisan, 5708): Erev Pesach the rations given out in Jerusalem for the observance of Passover included 2 lbs. of potatoes, ½ lb of fish, 4 lb. of matzo, 1 ½ oz. dried fruit, ½ lb. meat, and ½ lb. of matzo flour. As one who was there later wrote, “For the trapped citizens of Jerusalem, who had become accustomed to privation, the Passover provisions seemed like a banquet. However, for the citizens of Jerusalem, it was not a particularly merry affair. On the verge of their national freedom, the inhabitants of Jerusalem sat somberly around their tables. This was the first time since the nightly shellings that the city's citizens had come together in assembly in the various homes throughout the city that had been the dream of two thousand years' Seders. Tonight is a holiday, but tomorrow the struggle will go on. As they sat to begin the Seder, they heard the beginning of the snipers bullets looking for a straggler in the streets. But tonight was different. As they opened the door, as they had done for scores of generations, to welcome in Elijah, there was no fear. Tonight is a night of divine protection. As the Holy One protected the Jews in Egypt, so shall he protect us here in the war torn city of Jerusalem. "Once we were slaves, but today we are free men" recited in the Haggadah, took on new meaning. The British are leaving, the Arabs are attacking, and we are beginning our new national lives as free men in our own country. "Next year in Jerusalem" had a meaning that we never before understood. We meant it; we would not relinquish our dream to return to our homeland, to the city that has been in our hearts throughout the two thousand year exile. Now we are free men, tomorrow we must continue the fight to remain free.[37]

[22] THE BATTLES OF TRENTON AND PRINCETON BY WILLIAM S. STRYKER



[23] History of the Nineteenth Army Corps by Richard B. Irwin, 1892

[24] At 4:30 A.M. on the 23d, the cavalry, followed by Emory’s division, advanced toward the ferry and soon encountered Southern skirmishers. Arnold’s troopers pressed forward and drove them over the river. The Federals could now see clearly that the main enemy position, studded with artillery, was on te series of wooded bluffs overlooking the south bank of the Cane.(O. R., xxxiv, Part I, 439.)

The force confronting Emory consisted of some 1600 cavalry and four batteries, the whole detachment commanded by General Bee. Both Taylor and Wharton had impressed upon Bee the importance of holding Motett’s. With Bee in front of the Union Army, Wharton in its rear, Liddell covering the crossing of the Red at the mouth of Cane River, and Polignac blocking the road from Cloutierville, Taylor believed his forces were capable of giving the enemy serious trouble. (O. R., xxxiv, Part I, 580.) When the Union horsemen came out on to open ground opposite the ferry they were fired upon by Southern guns across the river. Thereupon Emory withdrew all but the dismounted men and threw forward a line of infantry skirmishers. The position was obviously too strong to approach frontally, except as a last resort. Colonel E. J. Davis was told to take his brigade of cavalry and move off to the left to see if the river could be crossed below the enemy position.(O. R., xxxiv, Part I, 262, 460.) Banks gave his chief officer the same assignmentl Meanwhile A. J. Smith was being very hard pressed by Wharton’s cavalry and Franklin received word that the rear guard might not be able to hold its ground.(Com. Con. War, pp. 15, 34-35.)

[25] Monett’s Ferry; Cane River Crossing , Louisiana, April 23, 1864: Near the end of the Red River Expedition, Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks’s army evacuated Grand Ecore and retreated to Alexandria, pursued by Confederate forces. Banks’s advance party, commanded by Brig. Gen. William H. Emory, encountered Brig. Gen. Hamilton P. Bee’s cavalry division near Monett’s Ferry (Cane River Crossing) on the morning of April 23. Bee had been ordered to dispute Emory’s crossing, and he placed his men so that natural features covered both his flanks. Reluctant to assault the Rebels in their strong position, Emory demonstrated in front of the Confederate lines, while two brigades went in search of another crossing. One brigade found a ford, crossed, and attacked the Rebels in their flank. Bee had to retreat. Banks’s men laid pontoon bridges and, by the next day, had all crossed the river. The Confederates at Monett’s Ferry missed an opportunity to destroy or capture Banks’s army.
