Princess Henrietta of England (Henrietta; June 16, 1644 (26 June n.s.) – June 30, 1670) was born a Princess of England and Scotland as the youngest daughter of King Charles I of England and his consort Henrietta Maria of France. Fleeing England with her governess at the age of three, she moved to the court of her first cousin Louis XIV of France, where she was known as Minette.[1] After she married Philippe of France, brother of King Louis XIV, known as Monsieur at court, she became known as Madame.[2] Very popular with the court in no small part due to her flirtatious nature, her marriage was marked by frequent tensions.[3]
At 2 o'clock in the morning of June 30, 1670, Princess Henrietta died.[28] The Chevalier de Lorraine and the Marquis d'Effiat were rumored by many to be accomplices in poisoning Henrietta.[28] Seventeen French and two English physicians, the British ambassador and roughly one hundred other onlookers observed the autopsy, and though the official report stated "death from cholera morbus (gastroenteritis) caused by heated bile," many observers disagreed.[33] [16]

John Churchill had been a member of James's household for many years, but defected to William of Orange in 1688.
On June 30, 1688, a group of seven Protestant nobles invited the Prince of Orange to come to England with an army.[107] [19]
June 30, 1754: The chiefs were pleased indeed and the council continued far into the night, with Villiers gravely noting everything said and every idea proposed Spies had now brought in word that the Redstone storehouse was abandoned and in the morning (June 30) the whole flotilla was on the move again before the sun had risen. They quickly reached the Ohio Company’s storehouse and beached their canoes well up from the water. Villiers posted a sergeant’s guard to protect the boats and immediately ordered the pursuit march begun on Washington’s very evident trail.
The going was no easier for them than it had been for Washington and, when the first halt was called only a few miles from Redstone, the chaplain was so fatigued he declared he could not go farther and would return to the storehouse to wait there. Before leaving, however, he held another service for the entire body of men and absolved them of all their sins. [20]
Sunday June 30, 1754
The retreat to the Great Meadows continues very slowly. The Virginians are extremely worn down because they have to carry their supplies and swivel cannons by hand. The wagons that Washington had brought onto the frontier were at the Great Meadows waiting to bring supplies down to the men at Gist's Plantation. Unfortunately no supplies came out from Virginia for the Regiment. [21]
M. Coulon de Villiers encounters the Hangard at Redstone
M. Coulon de Villiers is the individual who was in charge of the attack on Washington‘s troops
at Fort Necessity. On June 30, 1754, de Villiers recorded being at Redstone as follows:
June the 30th.—Came to the Hangard, which was a sort of fort built with logs, one upon
another, well notched in, about thirty feet in length and twenty in breadth; and as it was
late and would not do anything without consulting the Indians, I encamped about two
musket-shots from that place. At night I called the sachems together, and we consulted
upon what was best to be done for the safety of our periaguas, and of the provisions left
in reserve, as also what guard should be left to keep it.[22]
[23]
According to a nearby historical marker (Figure 0412), Braddock‘s army forded the Youghiogheny River at
Stewart‘s Crossing on June 30, 1755.
Stewart’s Crossing
According to a 2000 article by the Connellsville Area Historical Society, Stewart‘s Crossing is
located slightly north of where Mounts Creek enters the Youghiogheny River. The place they
have identified is now the site of the historical society‘s Yough River Park, which is located at
Latitude 40.020557°, Longitude -79.599499°. A footnote on page 107 of Toner‘s 1893 book
―Journal of Colonel George Washington: commanding a detachment of Virginia Troops‖
places the crossing at a slightly different location (Appendix 0003). It states ―Stewart‘s Crossing
of the Youghiogheny river was about one mile below the present town of Connellsville, in Fayette
county, Pa. A ford at low water and a ferry at high water, it was on the line of the early Indian
trail or path, and bore the name of Stewart‘s Crossing as early as, or before, 1753. It was at this
ford, that Braddock‘s army crossed in 1755.‖[24]
A route that would have involved taking the Turkey Foot Road partway to Connellsville is
depicted on the 1817 Melish-Whiteside map of Fayette county.
The traveler would have turned west (left) on the road that the map identifies as running past White Horse Tavern319 in Somerset County. The survey of Zachariah Connell [25]
shows where them road crossed the ―Youghiogeni River‖ in 1794.[26]
Ward’s 1756 deposition describes Trent’s fort and the building at Redstone
In regard to Redstone, and Trent‘s fort building activities at the present-day site of Pittsburgh,
Ward‘s June 30, 1756 deposition states:
Before me Samuel Smith Esq, one of his Majesties Justices, Edward Ward of the said
County Gent. And upon his solemn oath did depose and declare, that he this Deponent
was Ensign of a Company of Militia under the Command of Captain William Trent in the
Pay of the Government of Virginia That at the Time said Captain Trent received the
Governor of Virginias Orders, he was at Redstone Creek about thirty seven miles from
where Fort DuQuesne70 is now built and was erecting a Store House71 for the Ohio
Company. That when said Trent received the Governors Instructions to raise a Company
he despatched Messengers to several parts of the Country where the Indian Traders
lived, there being no other Inhabitants in that part of the Country except four or five
Families who had lately settled there and were upwards of Sixty Miles from the inhabited
Part of the Country That one of said Messengers, employed by Captain Trent came to the
place where this Deponent was and informed him of said Trent having received such
Instructions and upon the Half King and Monacatoochas receiving advice that said Trent
had orders to raise a Company of men, they sent him a Message to come immediately and
build a Fort at the Forks of the Monongahela and Ohio and that they would assist him as
soon as they could gather the People. On receiving such Message said Trent got Rafts
made and every other thing necessary for his march and accordingly did march with
what few men he had then raised in order to meet the Indians as they requested. That the
said Capt Trent had then erected but not quite finished a strong square Log house with
Loop Holes sufficient to have made a good Defence with a few men and very convenient
for a Store House, where stores might be lodged in order to be transported by water to
the place where Fort Du Quesne now stands That the building this Store House was paid
for by Captain Trent, who at that time was Factor for the Ohio Company and had orders
to build said Store House to lodge Stores which were intended for the Building a Fort
where Fort Du Quesne now stands for the Ohio Company, which Store House was soon
after compleated by Workmen employed by said Captain Trent for that purpose. That Captain Trent marched from Redstone Creek to the mouth of the Monongahela where a
number of Indians of different Nations met him, at which Time and place this Deponent
was present having met Captain Trent on his march and received his commission as
Ensign from him. Captain Trent on meeting with the Indians made a speech to them and
delivered them a present, which was sent by the Governor of Virginia. After the Treaty
was finished Captain Trent laid out the Fort and cleared the Ground and got some logs
squared, upon which the Chiefs of the Six Nations then present went with us to the
ground and laid the first log and said, that Fort belonged to the English and them and
whoever offered to prevent the building of it they the Indians would make war against
them. … And this Deponent further saith that after Captain Trent, left the Fort in order to
go to the Inhabitants, and hurry out the Troops and Provisions and recruit his Company
that Mr Gist came to the Fort and desired him to send some men with him to bring down
a quantity of Provisions which were laying at Redstone Creek. That this Deponent then
sent a number of men up the Monongahela for said Provisions. That he understood
afterwards there were no provisions there, that before the men who were sent for them
got back, the French came down and obliged this Deponent to surrender, he having no
place of Defence but a few Pallisadoes which he had ordered to be put up four days
before upon hearing the French were coming down and that he had no Provisions but a
little Indian Corn and but forty one soldiers and Workmen and Travellers who happened
to be there at the time and the French Eleven hundred in number, And this Deponent
saith he saw several pieces of Cannon pointed at the Fort within musket shot but could
not tell the number, but was afterwards told by the Indians there were nine pieces of
Cannon.
Ward refers to Trent‘s fort location as the ―the Forks of the Monongahela and Ohio‖. The
deposition indicates that ―Captain Trent marched from Redstone Creek to the mouth of theMonongahela‖ to begin his fort building activities. While Trent‘s men evidently rafted supplies down the river, their march helps confirm the presence of some kind of road or trail to that location. North of Gist‘s Plantation, their march most likely used the ―…Road clear‘d by the Company from their Store at Wills Creek to the Fork of Mohongaly…‖ that is described in the Ohio Company‘s July 27, 1753 instructions to Gist. As previously mentioned, various books assert that the route identified by Nemacolin for the Ohio Company followed the Catawba trail.
This seems highly plausible, although it is not clear if any documentary evidence supports the
assertion. If true, and if Trent indeed followed the Ohio Company road on his journey north to
the forks (which seems probable), then he may have also followed the old Catawba trail. The Fry
and Jefferson map (Chapter 4) shows two parallel routes in the area south of the second crossing
of the Youghiogheny.[27]
“June 30, 1777: The rest of the army, numbering about 8,000 men followed. Now all of Old and New Jersey has been evacuated. [28]
The entire army took up camp from Billop's Ferry[29]
June 30, 1778: Battle of Alligator Bridge -–
June 30, 1782
I was in exspectation of them going to sleep, when at length, about an hour before daybreak, two laid down, the third smoked a pipe, talked to me and asked the same painful questions. About half an hour after, he also laid down; I heard him begin to snore. Instantly I wento to work,, and as my arms were perfectly dead witht ehcord, I laid my self down upon my right arm which was behind my back, and keeping it fast with my fingers, which had still some life and strength, I slipped the cord from my left arm over my elbow and my wrist. One of the warriors now got up and stirred the fire. I was apprehensive that I should be examined, and thought it was over with me, but my hopes revived when now he lay down again. I then attempted to unloose the rope about my neck;p tried to gnaw it, but it was in vain, as it was as thick as my thumb and as hard as iron, bing made of buffalo hide. I wrought with it a long time, gave it out, and could see no relief. At this time I saw daybreak and heard the cock crow. I made a sencd attempt, almost without hope, pulling the rope by putting my fingers between my neck and it, and to my great surprise it came easily untied. It was a noose with two or three knots tied over it.
I slipped over the warriors as they lay, and having got out of the house, looked back to see if there was any disturbance. I then ran through the twon into a corn field; in my way I saw a squaw with four or five children lying asleep under a tree. Going in a different way into the field, I untied my arm, which was greatly swollen and turne black. Having observed a number of horses in the glade as I ran through it, I went back to catch one, and one, and on my way found a piece of an old rug or quilt hanging on a fence, which I took with . Having caught the horse, the rope with which I had been tied served for a halter, I rode off. The horse was strong and swift, and the woods being open and the country level, about ten o’clock that day I crossed the Scioto river at a place, by computation, fifty full miles from the town. I had rode about twenty-five miles on this side of the Scioto by three o’clock in the afternoon, when the horsebegan to fail, and could no longer go on a trot. I instantly left him, and on foot, ran about twenty miles farther that day, making in the whole the distance of near one hundred miles. In the evening I heard hallooing behind me, and for this reason did not halt until about en o’clock at night, when I sat down, was exteremely sick and vomited; but when the moon rose, which might have been about two hours after, I went on and traveled until day.[30]
June 30th, 1782
From the west side of the Monogahela, John Evans, lieutenant of Monongalia County, Va., wrote Irvine June 30th , informing him that Indians had made their appearance in that quarter, and that great alarm was felt in consequence, adding, “Without your assistance I much fear our settlements will break. The defeat of Col. Crawford occasions much dread.”[31]
June 30, 1794: William Henry Harrison became Aide-de-Camp to General "Mad Anthony" Wayne in 1793 and fought in the Indian wars that began on June 30, 1794. In 1813 he defeated the British and Indians in the Battle of the Thames, in which Tecumseh was killed. He was elected President in 1840 largely due to his popularity as a war hero. [32]
June 30, 1803: Lewis apparently purchased thermometers in Philadelphia, perhaps the type mentioned by Jefferson elsewhere (as noted by Jackson), mounted in a mahogany case. The last of them was broken crossing the Rockies. Lewis's List [June 30, 1803], Jackson (LLC), 1:69, 75 n. 1.
Probably one of the "4 Tin blowing Trumpets" purchased in Philadelphia, which would be more convenient for signaling on this expedition than the drums and fifes used by the military at this period. Lewis's List [June 30, 1803], Jackson (LLC), 1:71, 95.
June 30, 1831: While home in the summer of 1829, Lee had apparently courted Mary Custis, great granddaughter of Martha Washington whom he had known as a child. Lee obtained permission to write to her before leaving for Georgia, though Mary Custis warned Lee to be "discreet" in his writing, as her mother read her letters, especially from men.[28] Custis refused Lee the first time he asked to marry her; her father, George Washington Parke Custis did not believe the son of the disgraced Light Horse Harry Lee was a suitable man for his daughter.[29] She accepted him, with her father's consent, in September 1830, while he was on summer leave,[30] and the two were wed on June 30, 1831, at the Custis home at Arlington House in the southern portion of the District of Columbia (today in Arlington County, Virginia).[31] [33]

· Engraving of Mary Anna Custis Lee, 1854
· Lee inherited Arlington House from her father after he died in 1857. The estate had long been the couple's home whenever they were in the area during her husband's military career. She was a gracious hostess and enjoyed frequent visitors. She was a painter, like her father, and painted many landscapes, some of which are still on view at the house. She loved roses and grew 11 varieties.
· Deeply religious, Lee attended Episcopal services when there was one near the army post. From Arlington, Virginia, the Lees attended the Christ Episcopal Church in Alexandria, which she and Robert had both attended in childhood.
· Lee taught her female slaves to read and write and was an advocate of eventual emancipation. She did not free her slaves, but could have under state law of the time. She suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, which became increasingly debilitating with advancing age. By 1861, she was using a wheelchair.
· With the advent of the American Civil War, Robert and their sons were called to service in Virginia.
· [35]
·
· George Washington Parke Custis married Mary Lee Fitzhugh. Their only child to survive to adulthood was Mary Anna Randolph Custis. Robert E. Lee, whose mother was a cousin of Mrs. Custis, frequently visited Arlington and knew Mary Anna as they grew up. Two years after graduating from West Point, Lieutenant Lee married Mary Anna Custis at Arlington on June 30, 1831. For 30 years Arlington House was home to the Lees. They spent much of their married life traveling between U.S. Army duty stations and Arlington, where six of their seven children were born. They shared this home with Mary's parents. After their deaths, Mary's parents were buried not far from the house on land that is now part of Arlington National Cemetery.
· Upon George Washington Parke Custis' death in 1857, he left the Arlington estate to Mary Custis Lee for her lifetime and thence to the Lees' eldest son, George Washington Custis Lee. The estate needed much repair and reorganization, and Robert E. Lee, as executor of Custis' will, took a leave of absence from the Army until 1860 to begin the necessary agricultural and financial improvements. The will also required the executor to free the slaves on the estate within five years of Custis' death, which Gen. Lee fulfilled, filing a deed of manumission in 1862.[9] [36]

June 30, 1863: Lieutenant-Colonel Wilds was in command of the regiment a large portion of the time as Colonel Byam resigned June 30th, 1863. The Twenty-Fourth was attached to General Grant's army early in 1863 and was in his campaign against Vicksburg. It was actively engaged in the battle of Port Gibson, in General Hovey's division. At the great battle of Champion Hill no regiment in the union army surpassed the Twenty-Fourth for desperate fighting. A rebel battery of five guns on a commanding position was doing fearful execution on Hovey's division, as it advanced on Champion Hill. The Twenty-fourth alone charged upon it under a terrific fire of grape and canister, drove the gunners from their pieces and overwhelmed the infantry supports, carrying everything before them. But no other regiment coming to its support, it was assailed by overwhelming numbers and finally driven back. The loss of the regiment in this heroic charge was 195, including several gallant officers. The regiment participated in the hardships and dangers of the siege of Vicksburg and was in the campaign against Jackson. It was afterwards transferred to the Army of the Gulf and was in General Banks' disastrous Red river campaign. At the battle of Sabine Cross Roads the Twenty-fourth fought bravely, but nothing the army could do was sufficient to counteract the incompetency of the commanding general, Banks, who led it only to defeat and retreat.[40]

June 30, 1874: Charles R. Smith (b. June 30, 1874 in GA / d. April 26, 1913).[42]
June 30, 1876: Prince Leopold, stifled by the desire of his mother, Queen Victoria, to keep him at home, saw marriage as his only hope of independence. Due to his haemophilia, he had difficulty finding a wife. Heiress Daisy Maynard was one of the women he considered as a possible bride. He was acquainted with Alice Liddell, the daughter of the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford for whom Lewis Carroll wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and was godfather of Alice's second son, who was named for him. It has been suggested that he considered marrying her, though others suggest that he preferred her sister Edith (for whom he later served as pall-bearer June 30, 1876).[13]
Leopold also considered his second cousin Princess Frederica of Hanover for a bride; they instead became lifelong friends and confidantes.[14] Other aristocatic women he pursued included Victoria of Baden and Princess Karoline Mathilde of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg.[14]
After rejection from these women, Victoria stepped in to bar what she saw as unsuitable possibilities. Insisting that the children of British monarchs should marry into other reigning Protestant families, Victoria suggested a meeting with Princess Helene Friederike, the daughter of Georg Viktor, reigning Prince of Waldeck-Pyrmont. [43]
June 30, 1882: Failed lawyer and office seeker Charles Guiteau, convinced that new president James Garfield would be the ruin of the Republican Party, shoots him in the back and arm in a Washington D.C. train station July 2, 1881. Garfield, his injuries aggravated by unsanitary care, dies September 19. Calling his act a “political necessity,” Guiteau pleads insanity but is convicted. He is hanged June 30, 1882.[44]

The biggest cosmic disaster in recorded human history on earth occurred in Russia when a large object exploded in Siberia’s remote Tanduku wilderness. The blast ignited heat and shockwaves and toppled 80,000,000 trees in over an 800 square mile area yet no one was directly killed because few people lived in the area.[48]

June 30, 1914 – The last vestiges of the government of the Cherokee Nation were shut down.[51]
June 30, 1921: At the special election held at Buck Creek last Thursday, the vote for second time on the question of consolidation of schools, the proposition won by a vote of 129 affirmative to 103 negative votes. The opposition to the formation of the district was well organized and brought every possible vote to their assistance. Those favoring the project were equally active, and both sides appeared to be confident of winning. The eagerness of those affected by the question was quickly shown as soon as the hour for the opening of the polls came. The larger part of the vote was in very quickly. Very naturally, there is jubilation on the part of the supporters of the consolidated school, who have fought so long and loyally and for a secont time win with a hadsome majority in its favor. The first election was held less than a year ago. The organizers went promply ahead with the election of a board of directors and were preparing to function when legal proceedings on the part of the miunority discovered technical irregularities which nullified all the work. Nothing daunted, the majority again circulated petitions and the election last week, which is believed to have been reached in conformity with every requirement of the law, is confirmation of their contention that the majority of the people of the territory earnestly desire improved school conditions A special meeting of the district is called for Friday July 8 as will be noted by the notice elsewhere in the Leader, at chich time five directors will be voted for. The next step following will be that of providing for a suitable building for the proposed school.[52]
June 30, 1934: Hitler orders the SS. Under Heinrich Himmler, to purge the SA leadership. Many are murdered, including Ernst Rohm, in what becomes known as the “Night of the Long Knives.”[53]
June 30, 1940: Two hundred Jews in Dorohoi are killed by a Romanian infantry battalion.[54]
June 30, 1941: Germans forces occupy Lvov.[55]
June 30, 1942
Eichmann, who commands Gestapo anti-Jewish activities in all countries conquered by Germany, arrives in Paris for a two day visit and meetings with Dannecker on the approaching mass roundup of Jews. The report on their talks is prepared by Eichmann and signed by both men July 1. The document envisages a Final Solution in France bgy the deportation as rapidly as possible of all Jews in the country, beginning with those in the Occupied Zone in convoys on an almost daily basis. The results sought are both radical and optimistic; the report asserts that the Occupied Zone presents no problems in supplying Jews and that the Unoccupied Zone will follow suit, thanks to pressures that will overcome the reticence of the French government. The report is immediately transmitted to Knochen, for whom it is really intended, and who probably has assured Eichmann at a meeting the evening before that he will exert whatever pressure is needed. The prior evening’s meeting brings together the heads of SiPo-SD and the Jewish Affairs offices in the Occupied Zone outside Paris to discuss “unifying their work and giving them policy directives.” The meeting’s minutes, attached to the Eichmann report, declare that their goal is “to purge the country of all Jews, in an absolute way, so that they only remain in Paris, where their final deportation will take place. [56]
June 30, 1942: Laid down June 30, 1942 at Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp., Seattle, Washington, Morrison was the builder’s seventh of 21 2100-ton Fletcher-class destroyers. [57]
Convoy 76, June 30, 1944
American, British, and Canadian troops had already landed in France when convoy 76 carried 1,100 deportees to Auschwitz. Of those deported on this convoy, 166 were children, 94 boys and 72 girls. They came from all over France.[58]
The original of the list for Convoy 76 does not exist. The Ministry for War Veterans has reconstructed the majority of the names. To them we added the survivors, who had been omitted.
Convoy 76 was carrying at least 50 more than the 1,100 which was shown in the statistics. The report of Mrs. Etlin, from the Drancy secretariat, shows 1,153, which seems to be very close to the correct nmber. There were approximately 600 males and 550 females, including at least 162 children under 18.
During the trip to Auschwitz there was an escape attempt. Georges Wellers was part of it: “The attempt was discovered by the Germans and the 60 men were stripped naked and, in this state, placed in an empty boxcar. The sight of 60 naked men, completely dehydrated, seated one next to the other on the filthy wagon floor was grotesque, pitiful and revolting.” (From Drancy to Auschwitz, p. 222) Zaharia Asseo also recounts this terrible trip in his moving work.
Upon their arrival in Auschwitz, 398 men were selected and received numbers A 16537 through A 16934; 223 women were given numbers A 8508 through A 8730. The rest were immediately gassed.
On board Convoy 76, on June 30, 1944 was Simon Gottlibowicz, born August 24, 1927 from Sluxca.[59] Simon’s assembly point was Drancy, and his last known address was 6, rue Melingue, Paris 19.[60]
In 1945 there were 182 survivors. One hundred and fifteen of them were women.
June 30, 1944
The last German forces surrender in the Cotentin in France, during World War II.[61]
June 30, 1949: Walter White’s divorce from Gladys became final on June 30 and he married Poppy Cannon one week later. The newlyweds immediately left for Europe on a radio program tour.
When word of his divorce and subsequent remarriage became public there was a split reaction among the NAACP board, the African American press and the black public. Carl Murphy, an African American newspaper editor and NAACP board member. wrote in a letter about the marriage to Poppy Cannon, " [White] has so weakened his usefulness that the Association will assume a grave risk in attempting to keep him in office....The public believes Mr. Walter White as an outstanding leader of the country and as an executive of our Association, has done the wrong thing in marrying across racial lines. That bitterness is more pronounced among women than men."
In his newspaper The Afro-American published in Baltimore he was more ambivalent: Although White had done only what was intended by the creator and what makes a good marriage by marrying the woman he loved, he wrote that White had "tossed away" his thirty-five years in the struggle for equality because he "unwittingly placed in the hands of our most vocal opponents the very rebuttal they have attempted to use against our battle for freedom."
The African American Louisiana Weekly defended White and wrote, "We don't get leaders like Walter White every day and it would make us as a group appear very ungrateful to throw him overboard for something that is his own personal and private business....Let us not forget that the NAACP is an interracial organization, so now its executive secretary and his wife are an interracial couple."
Eleanor Roosevelt, who had joined the association's board of directors after her husband's death, saved White's position by threatening to resign should White be dismissed. Although declining health soon forced him to turn over many of his administrative duties to Roy Wilkins, he remained the NAACP's executive secretary and most important public spokesperson until his death in 1955.
In her memoir A Gentle Knight, Poppy recalled the speech White gave at a party in 1954, the day the Brown vs. Board of Education decision was handed down: “I can’t help thinking of the number of times in the last thirty-five years,” he said,“when some of my very closest friends told me that I was a damn fool—for believing that within a reasonable period of time we could really smash segregation in America.... Yet we together...have created a miracle.... But this is not the end.... There are some of us who will not be around much longer.... But there will be new people coming into the struggle and they will have to complete the fight in which today we won possibly the greatest victory that has been won since the infamous Dred Scott decision.”
Walter White did not live to see the flowering of the civil rights movement in the second half of the 1950s and 1960s. [62]

• June 29, 3123 B.C.
• Sodom and Gemorah, fire from the sky. New discoveries archaeology, astrology and geology uncover evidence of literal fire from the sky in the form of an asteroid. The Bibile is sacred scripture to billions yet new breakthroughs in technology suggest that the fantastic tales and miracles have a basis in fact. One of the most compelling tales of all twenty four books of the old testament concerns two cities located by the dead sea. The Bible says that they are so wicked that God destroys them dramatically raining down fire and brimstone. Fire rains down from the sky and the entire plain is ultimately covered in this burnt remnant that erupted from the air.
Recent discoveries in astronomy and geology suggest that the story of Sodom’s fiery destruction may be more than just a moral parable. It may record an actual historic event.
It is probable that most myths are the subject of a probable event. In 2008 an artifact from ancient sumeria was translated for the first time and it seems to provide startling correlation to the story of Sodom.
On a small clay disc an ancient Sumerian astronomer recorded a strange site in the night skies. He indicates that the object is passing in front of stars at a high rate of speed. The clay transcription gives enough data that the speed and trajectory of the object can be traced backward leading to literal fire from the sky in the form of an asteroid. They believe based on the description on the tablet that the asteroid itself was about 1.25 kilometers diameter.[1]
If the information on the tablet is correct the impact would have been devastating. One hundred times more powerful than the worlds largest nuclear weapon. The fireball would have been more than 100 kilometers across. The resulting plume of flaming degree could have fallen for hundreds of miles. We would have had fire and brimstone in the area where fire and brimstone was supposed to have occurred.
In the book of Genesis, in the very first book of the Bible in Genesis chapter 18, it tells the story of a riteous man named Lot who moves his family to the bustling city of Sodom. In the book of Genesis God feels that the city of Sodom is so bad that God says that it must be destroyed. According to the Bible Gods wrath extends to all the cities nearby including Gomorra, Zoar, Admah, and Zeboiim. However God decides to save Lot if he can. God sends two angles disguized as men to visit Lot inside Sodom with a warning of the impending destruction. The men tell Lot he needs to get out. That he needs to get his daughters and wife and go out of town. They tell Lot that they are going to destroy this town. Lot is told to escape to the mountains and that one of the cities of the plane would be spared, the small town of Zoar. The angels give one last command, that they should not look back at the city. Lot and his family flee Sodom early in the morning, and as the sun rose fire fell from the sky. God destroyed the cities of the plain. The Bible says that Lot and his family fled to sanctuary in a cave above Zoar. After the destruction of Sodom and Gemorrah they believed that they were the last people on earth. And there the story ends.
In the story Lots wife does look back, and that is example of ideology or explanation of the pillars of salt that are found nearby.
For thousands of years the story of these cities was only found in pages of the Bible. In 1894 an archeological expedition uncovered suprizing support for the wrath of God. Under the floorstones of the Church of St. George lies an intricate map built sometime in the 6th century C.E. This beautiful work reveals the lay of the land showing Jerusalem, Jordon, the Dead See and in the Southeast corner an ancient name not seen anywhere else but the Bible, Zoar. It is the smallest of the Bibilical cities of the plain. The one city that God did not destroy. It was hard evidence that one of the Biblical cities existed. In fact the village exists to this day, known by its medieval name Safi. Also on the map was a partially obscured phrase written in Greek, “The sactuary of St. Lot or Holy Lot.” Perhaps this alludes to the sanctuary of Lot during the destruction of Sodom. Archeologist followed the trail that was laid out on the map which led directly to the ruins of an ancient church built in the seventh century C.E. The tiles in the church directly refer to the cave as the “Sancutary of Holy lot.” Archeologists also found one other fascinating detail. The Cave seams to match the describtion of Lots sanctuary outside the Lost city of Zoar.
Bab edh Dhra: The city that matches most closely to the city of Sodom is the city of Bab edh Dhra. 50 miles from Jerusalem in the Bronze age, Bab edh Dhra was an independent walled city. The city was surrounded by villages and agricultural land and was independent like a city state. Bab edh drah at its height was home to 1000 individuals. Bab edh drah also contains mass graves. The oldest graves date from about 3000 B.C.E.[2]
The ancient Sumerians were well versed in astronomy. The Sumerian Planasphere is a very sophisticated interetation of the nights sky. It was created by a professional astrologer who knew his trade. He was using instruments to measure angles. It indicates an object that was alien to their interpretation. The astrologer could not make out if it was a star or a planet. It could mean only one thing, an asteroid. The astrologer is standing in Southern Iraq. The object hit the Austrian Alps at a place called Kofels in the Austrian Valley. There is no crater because the asteroid exploded in an air burst. The object produced a massive plume that reverses back along the asterioids trajectory. The resulting fallout falls 1500 miles away from the blast site centered on the dead sea. There would be few survivors from a massive plume reentry centered on the the dead sea. [3]
After matching the night sky with the Planashere the date of the impact is June 29, 3123 B.C.
There is other evidence of a massive explosion. According to an ice core taken from a retreating glacier in Peru plants were found to have been frozen 5,200 years ago. There had been a massive climate collapse 5,200 years. After check with other ice cores it turns out that this had been a global event.
In Africa a lush and fertile area dried up to become the Sahara desert. In Chile formerly tropical area became covered with ice for millennia. In the middle east fertile regions turned into desert and civilizations collapsed.
An asteroid ¾ of a mile wide would have created a smoke plume that would have circled the globe blocked the sun for month causing a world wide climate collapse.
If this is all true we can now explain the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah. [4]
June 29, 1096: Crusaders massacred the Jews of Mehr. [5]
June 29, 1519:
The exact date of birth of FitzRoy had not been recorded as his birth was a secret. It seems though that Henry FitzRoy entered the world earlier than originally planned. Cardinal Thomas Wolsey was out of London from June 9, until the June 18, when he reappeared back at court at Windsor. The following day he was expected at Hampton Court, yet it is not until the June 29, does he reappear at a council meeting at Westminster. Since June 18, was chosen for FitzRoy’s elevation to the peerage in 1525, it is tempting to conclude that the minister was unexpectedly waylaid by the child’s birth. The policy of discretion worked, as the baby boy’s arrival caused no great stir, and the various diplomatic dispatches record nothing of Henry VIII's illegitimate son.[2]
Christening
The christening of the newborn Henry FitzRoy is not recorded. However it is known that Cardinal Thomas Wolsey was godfather to the King’s son. Wolsey was even present at the Christening and was not represented proxy which puts the date of the Christening possibly before the June 29, when he reappeared at court.[3] The identity of the other Godfather is unknown, and although Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk would take a great interest in Henry FitzRoy when he was older, in 1519 he was still the heir to the duchy of Norfolk, and was still called the earl of Surrey. If Henry chose the House of Howard, he would have chosen the elder Thomas Howard, who at the time was the 2nd Duke of Norfolk. This Thomas Howard had fought and defeated the Scots at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Another suggestion for the second godfather could be Henry VIII himself. Henry had taken the role of godfather at the Christening of his own nephew Lord Henry Brandon in March 1516, and his daughter Princess Mary stood godfather to her half brother Prince Edward in 1537.[4] The godmother is also unknown, it would have been indecent to ask a lady of court as they would have had ties to the Queen. The godmother of little Henry FitzRoy was possibly a relation of his mother Elizabeth Blount.
Acknowledgement
The infant boy was given the name FitzRoy to make sure that all knew that the boy was son of the King, he was even given the name Henry after his royal father. Henry VIII who perhaps felt that his lack of male heir was a slur upon his manhood, abandoned all discretion and openly acknowledged the boy.[5] At one point Henry VIII proudly exhibited to the court his newborn son, his wife Catherine of Aragon attended at the manor house.[6] This could have taken place when the Queen of England threw a sumptuous banquet at her manor of Havering-atte-Bower, in honour of the French hostages in August of that year. Indeed Henry’s rivalry with Francis I, King of France may have required his pride to so, as in that year he had stood godfather to Francis's second son Prince Henry of France, who was named for Henry by Francis and he may have enjoyed that after ten years on the throne he finally had a son to show off. Alternatively the wires might be crossed and Henry might have showed his son off at a banquet in the recently refurbished manor of Newhall; this would accommodate the myth that Henry had been revamping it for the use of one of his mistresses.

June 29, 1539: Norfolk, Suffolk and Cromwell dined with the King as guests of Archbishop Cranmer. During a heated discussion about Cardinal Wolsey, Cromwell charged Norfolk with disloyalty and Norfolk called Cromwell a liar. Their mutual hostility was now out in the open.[2] Cromwell inadvertently played into Norfolk's hands by taking the initiative in the King's marriage to Anne of Cleves. The King's disillusionment with Anne's physical appearance when he met her in January 1540 and his desire after the wedding had taken place to have the marriage annulled gave Norfolk an opportunity to bring down his enemy.[8] [9]
June 29, 1547:: Knox's chaplaincy of the castle garrison was not to last long. While Hamilton was willing to negotiate with England to stop their support of the rebels and bring the castle back under his control, Mary of Guise decided that it could only be taken by force and requested the king of France, Henry II to intervene.[21] On June 29, 1547, 21 French galleys approached St Andrews under the command of Leone Strozzi, prior of Capua.

June 29, 1654: In Cuenca, Spain, 57 Marranos were taken to the auto-da-fe. Ten were burnt to death. One of them, Balthasar Lopez, announced as he was taken to the stake "I don't believe in Christ even if you bind me." He had returned recently from Bayonne in order to persuade his nephew to return to Judaism when he was captured by the Inquisition.[12]
June 29, 1670: at five o'clock, Henrietta drank a glass of iced chicory water. According to reports, immediately after drinking the water she felt a pain in her side and cried out, "Ah! What a pain! What shall I do! I must be poisoned!".[35] She immediately assumed she had been poisoned and asked both for an antidote and for someone to examine the chicory water.[33] She was given common contemporary treatments for colic, as well as anti-poisons.[33] The royal family arrived at Saint Cloud having heard the news within hours.[13]
Saturday June 29, 1754:
Captain Mackay and his South Carolinians arrive at Gist's plantation. With news of the French force being on the move, the officers have a conference "to consider what was most prudent and necessary to be done in the present situation of affairs."(George Washington) The officers decide to evacuate the plantation and retreat to the more defensible stockade at the Great Meadows. That afternoon the men begin their retreat. [14]
June 29, 1754
Coulon de Villiers’s force was an impressive one as it left Fort Duquesne on J une 29 and began its journey up the Monongahela River. Over a hundred canoes there were, each carrying ten men or more, plus considerable equipment and artillery. There were seven hundred soldiers and just over three hundred fifty Indians representing nine different tribes, their faces painted with blacks and browns and whites in savage designs.
All day they paddled upstream and finally made camp for the night or. a broad bank of the Monongahela’s west shore not very far below Redstone Creek where, in the morning, they expected to engage the English. Here. as most of the Indians watched curiously, the Jesuit priest who was chaplain of the expedition said a solemn Sunday Mass for the soldiers.
After the service was completed, the guards posted and the men remain ing had eaten and were settling down for the night, Captain Villiers callec all the chiefs together for a council. Though he knew precisely how he intended to conduct the campaign, he knew as well that it would please the chiefs and bind them and their warriors more firmly to him if he were to ask their advice and, where practicable and amenable to his own plans, follow it.
The chiefs were pleased indeed and the council continued far into the night, with Villiers gravely noting everything said and every idea proposed Spies had now brought in word that the Redstone storehouse was abandoned and in the morning (June 30) the whole flotilla was on the move again before the sun had risen. They quickly reached the Ohio Company’s storehouse and beached their canoes well up from the water. Villiers posted a sergeant’s guard to protect the boats and immediately ordered the pursuit march begun on Washington’s very evident trail.
The going was no easier for them than it had been for Washington and, when the first halt was called only a few miles from Redstone, the chaplain was so fatigued he declared he could not go farther and would return to the storehouse to wait there. Before leaving, however, he held another service for the entire body of men and absolved them of all their sins.
The march continued while scouts came and went with regularity in front of the army. On the first day of July (July 1) they had reached Gist’s settlement and, finding it abandoned, bivouacked there. Only the officers benefitted from the comfort of the quarters here. The remainder of the army and the Indians were out of doors and spent a miserable night engaged in the impossible task of trying to stay warm and dry through a droning. persistent rain which began just before midnight and did not cease untill daybreak.
They munched cold rations without pleasure in the light of dawn and then took up the march again, only to have the downpour begin anew before they had traveled more than a mile. They passed through the gorge of Laurel Hill and Villiers’s scouts came in to report excitedly that the
English were holding fast in the Great Meadows, only four miles ahead.
Here the French force paused and, while his men rested, Coulon de Villiers was guided by some Indians to the spot where his brother had been killed. His features were cold and grim as he stared through the rain at the bloated and scalpless remains of the bodies, including that of Jumonville de Villiers. To have heard of the deaths and scalpings had been bad enough, but to actually see the desecrated remains made him sick and he wished that he had not come. He had no tools with which to bury them in the rocky soil, so he merely said a brief prayer for the departed souls in general and his brother in particular and then returned through the continuing drizzle to his camp.
And then yesterday, when the dismal gray daylight filtered through the forest, the attack march was begun. Throughout the early morning hours he had been receiving continuous reports from his scouts. His battle plans had been relayed to his officers and now the whole expedition was reaching its climax.
At Fort Necessity, Washington and his men continued to strengthen their position as best they could. It was largely a futile effort. No attention was paid to Monakaduto’s advice that they make their stand on a hilltop, not here. In fact, so disgusted by such ridiculous defenses had the Indians become who were attached to them, that Monakaduto and the squaw-chief, Alequippa, deserted the English after conferring among themselves.
“Look around you,” Monakaduto said with a disparaging swing of his arm over the encampment. “Is this how we want to fight a war? The white chief, Washington, is a good-natured man, but he has no experience and will by no means take advice from us. He would rather drive us on to fight by his directions. He has laid at one place from one full moon to the other, yet has made no fortification at all except this little thing here on the meadow where he thinks the French will come up to him in an open field.” He shook his head angrily. “Why should we endanger ourselves and our people, when the French behave like cowards and the English like fools?”
Fort Necessity was not much. A simple square enclosure of upright logs reinforced by dirt heaped on both sides and having a trench no more than knee deep, it was located at the eastern end of an oval-shaped, east-west meadow with a small brook trickling through the middle. On the south side of the enclosure, and partially on the west, there was an embankment on the outside and a rifle-pit ditch had been dug inside this. Morale among the men was abysmal. Even the emergency reserve provisions had been used up now, and for days the army had been living on only the fresh meat of their dwindling herd of beef cattle. Artillery had been placed to command the approaches, but there was precious little cannon powder and
even less for their rifles. The entire English force had last night numbered four hundred five men, but during the night a number had deserted and others had fallen sick. By morning’s light only three hundred fifty men were able to stand and light.
Washington knew the French were coming closer, but when no attack came at dawn yesterday, he thought they would have yet another day to continue their improvements of Fort Necessity. Then, at ii A.M., a wounded scout supported by a companion had stumbled to the commander with the news that the French army was attacking. Within minutes the enemy force had broken from the forest and immediately the Indians with it began a screeching war cry and a ragged firing of their muskets. The range was far too great and the lead balls fell harmlessly.
Believing that the French, since they were far superior in force, would advance at them head on, Washington ordered his men to fall into rank in the meadow before the fort. While the Indians and some of the French soldiers at the far end of the meadow continued the yelling and inconsequential firing, Villiers had ordered the rest of his men to flank the little fort in the woods on both sides of it, approaching as near as possible without showing themselves. Here, on two heavily wooded hills, they took their positions — only sixty paces from the English on the one side, a hundred paces away on the other.
That a worse place for the construction of Fort Necessity could hardly have been chosen now became evident. From these two hills the French had the protection of trees and could shoot from above with a murderous crossfire and rake much of the interior of the fortification with their bullets. It was a predicament that dawned on the young commander with staggering impact and now he countermanded his initial order and had the entire force withdraw into the fortification and take cover as well as they could out of the crossfire.
The rain that had fallen all night stopped at dawn for an hour, then began to fall again and had continued ever since. Now it became a heavier downpour and the trench inside Fort Necessity became little more than a mucky, calf-deep quagmire. The light swivels still commanded the approaches to the fort, but now the French musket fire was coming so heavily from the two hills that there was no protection at all for the artillerymen and, for the most part, the big guns remained silent.
The firing from both sides became hot and deadly at those times when the rain slackened, then petered out to a ragged scattering of shots as the downpour increased. Late in the afternoon the rainfall became so hard that only occasional shots were heard but then, with the approach of evening, it eased up to no more than a fine drizzle and the shooting became very heavy again until darkness fell.
The bodies of the English soldiers, regulars and colonials alike, lay where they had fallen inside the fort. Twelve of George Washington’s volunteers lay dead in the muck, along with eighteen of Captain Mackay’s regulars. Seventy men with crippling bullet wounds crouched against the ramparts, moaning and weeping, almost two thirds of them from among the volunteers. Their situation was critical in the extreme. Desperately hungry, weakened by sickness and desertion, almost out of ammunition, their guns badly befouled and only two screw-rods on hand with which to clean them, total destruction seemed imminent.
To make it even worse, discipline was collapsing and some of the men had gotten into the remaining rum supply. Half of those not wounded were now drunk. They raised their cups in sarcastic gesture to any officer who approached them and said, “We who are about to die don’t salute you . . . we ask why in hell we are here?”
The situation was terrible and still degenerating, but Villiers did not know how badly off Washington’s army actually was. As darkness fell and ended a nine-hour battle with no cry for mercy having come from the fort, the French officer began to grow a little worried. His fears were compounded when a pair of Delawares rushed up to tell him that they had been scouting to the east and heard, far in the distance, the beating of drums and the firing of a cannon.
“The chiefs have sent us to tell you this,” said the spokesman. “We are further to tell you that we will continue to fight throughout the night, if that is your wish, but with the dawn we will leave.”
The Delawares walked away without waiting for a reply and Villiers reflected sourly on the situation. He didn’t know whether or not to believe the report of drums and cannon in the distance. Though he doubted it, it could possibly be true. If it was, his own army might be in jeopardy. Ammunition was falling short and there was even the possibility that the English might sally out of the fort in a body to attack.12
He called Le Mercier to him and they discussed the situation. Within minutes they had decided that the best course would be to send in a messenger under a flag of truce for capitulation talks with the English. The messenger was sent, and he advanced to Fort Necessity waving a large cloth attached to a pole and shouting at intervals, “Don’t shoot! I come unarmed to talk with your commander!”
Washington met him in front of the breastwork, not permitting him to see the interior nor the condition of his men. He considered the messenger :o be more of a spy sent to see how the English were faring than as a bona ~de deliverer of capitulation terms. He rejected the proposal in a peremp:ory manner and sent the Frenchman back.
The more he thought about what the man had said, however, the more
he began to wish he had been less hasty with his reply. If they continued the fight, it could only end in annihilation of the English. Did he have the right to threaten his men with sure death if it was not really necessary? As he was pondering this question, the messenger returned to the fort and called out again that he came unarmed to speak to the commander. This time Washington listened carefully.
“My commandant,” the messenger said nervously, “wishes that you will think again what will certainly befall you if you continue in this way. He asks that you send him an officer to discuss terms by which no more blood need be shed.”
There could be no further hesitation. He told the Frenchman to wait, stationed a guard with him and withdrew into the fort. Only two men in his whole army could speak French; one was a young ensign named Peroney, but he was disabled with a bullet hole through his calf muscle. The other was his own friend and companion from last winter’s wilderness journey, the recently promoted Dutchman, Captain Jacob van Braam. There could be no choice in the matter: van Braam would have to go.
The officer was gone for a long time — so long, in fact, that Washington began to fear it had all been just a ruse to diminish his officer strength. But then van Braam returned bearing with him the articles of capitulation being offered by Villiers. Washington summoned all his officers, and they huddled together, keeping a sputtering candle lighted only with difficulty, while van Braam interpreted the paper.
On the whole, the terms were most generous, although certain objections were made to some of them and these were changed. But now they were coming to a passage which van Braam knew would almost certainly cause Washington to reject the capitulation entirely, and so he carefully mistranslated so that the section assigning to Washington personally “. . . l’assassinat[15] du Sieur de Jumonville . . .“ — the murder of Sieur de Jumonville — became, instead, the death of Sienr de Jumonville. The rest of the capitulation terms were quite acceptable and undoubtedly much more generous than they would have been had Villiers known the true nature of the English condition:
The commander and his men shall be permitted to march out of their fort with drums beating and the honors of war attending. They shall be permitted to carry with them one of their swivels and all other of their pro perty and baggage, cattle, arms and ammunition. They shall be protected against any insult from French or Indians. The prisoners taken in the affair of Jumonville shall be set free. Finally, two English officers shall remain as hostages for our safe return to Fort Duquesne.
Inwardly delighted to get off thus easily from what was certain disaster, all of the English officers signed the paper at just about midnight, including
Colonel Washington, who thereupon branded himself forever in French eves as the murderer of Jumonville. There was no little discussion regarding who was to remain behind as hostage, but at length the decision was made:
the two would be van Braam, since he understood French and might be able to learn something valuable to impart when — and if — he returned, and Lieutenant Robert Stobo, who accepted the appointment if not with pleasure, at least without evident fear.
Most of the rest of the night was spent in preparations for their departure, and in the early morning light of an overcast but rainless morning today, they filed out to the pitiful cadence of a single drummer. Already part of the capitulation terms had been broken. During the remainder of the night, under cover of the cease-fire order from both sides, the Indians had slipped into the adjoining cattle compound and slit the throats of those horses and beef cattle not already killed by the previous day’s shooting.
Now it was upon the unwounded men to carry the sick and wounded on their own backs and therefore leave behind much of the baggage they had intended taking. But the supposed withdrawal-with-honor turned into an ignominious retreat. The Indians heckled them incessantly and the heckling degenerated into plundering and threats to kill the remaining English and take their scalps — just as the bodies still within Fort Necessity were at this moment being scalped.
Nor was it just talk. There was hatred and murder in the eyes of the Indians, and abruptly they seized the medicine chest being carried by two privates and smashed it to bits. When two of the wounded men complained, they were killed by tomahawk blows, their scalps cut off immediately and then shaken in the faces of others. It was only with threats to withhold their presents that the angry Captain Villiers finally forced them to desist and the dismal march continued for the English.
Even then they managed to travel only three miles before exhaustion forced them to stop and make camp, fearful that at any moment the Indians might again swoop down on them and this time wipe out everyone. Washington dispatched two of his most able survivors to continue the remaining forty-nine miles to Will’s Creek Station and return with wagons for these men still here.
Men sprawled on the ground wherever they had taken their burdens from their backs. Washington himself was carrying a heavy load, and it was one that he could not put down, a load greater than anyone else’s; a spiritual load which threatened to engulf him. The sight of his suffering injured men being borne in defeat on the backs of their staggering comrades; the knowledge that so many of his men had been killed; the knowledge that he had been thoroughly defeated in his first major engagement; the knowledge that his failure could not help but cause further disastrous losses for the English throughout the frontier; the knowledge that now, beyond any doubt, those Indian tribes still vacillating in their allegiance would flock to the French; all these things and more made this the bleakest time of his entire life thus far.
Behind him, Villiers was returning in triumph to Fort Duquesne, having had only two men killed. He was burning Gist’s Settlement and the Ohio Company’s Redstone storehouse as he passed, and he was bearing to his commandant, Captain Contrecoeur, and to the Marquis Duquesne the electrifying news that now not a single English flag was flying to the west of the Alleghenies.[16]

June 29, 1782
The day after the council I have mentioned, about fortywarriors, accompanied by Georgy Girty, came early in the morning around the house where I was. The squaws gave me up, I was sitting before the door of the house; they put a rope round my neck, tied my arms behind by back, stripped me naked, and blacked me in the usual manner. George Girty, as soon as I was tied, d—d (damned?) me, and said that I now should get what I had deserved many years. I was led away to a town distant about five miles, to which a messenger had been dispatched to desire them to prepare to receive me.
Arriving at this town, I was beaten with clubs and the pipe ends of their tomahawks, and was kept for some time tied to a tree before a house door. In the meanwhile the inhabitants set out to another town about two miles distant. Where I was to be burnt, and where I arrived about three o’clock in the afternoon.
Here also was a council house, part of it covered and part of it without a roof. In the part of it where no cover was, but only sides built up, there stood a post about sixteen feet in height, and in the middle of the house around the post, there were three piles of wood built about three feet high and four feet from the post.
Being brought to the post my arms were tied behind me, and the thoung or cord with which they were bound was fastened to the post; arope also was put about my neck, and tied to tpost about four feet above my head During the time they were tying me, piles of wood were kindled and began to flame.
Death by burning, which appeared to be now my fate, I had resolved to sutain with patience. The diving grace of God had made it less alarming to me; for on my way this day I had been greatly exercised in regard to my latter end. I knew myself to have been a regular member of the church, and to have sought repentance for my sins; but though I had often heard of the faith of assurance, had known nothing of it; but early this day, insantaneouly by a chang wrought upon me sudden and perceivable as lightning, an assurance of my peace made with God, sprung up in mind. The following words were the subject of my meditation “In peace thou shalt see God. Fear not those who can kill the body. In peace shalt thou depart.” I was on this occasion by a confidence in mind not to be resitied, fully assured of my salvation This being the case I was willing, satisfied and glad to die.
I was tied to the post, as I have already said, and the flame was now kindled. The day was clear, not a cloud to be seen. If there were clouds low on the horizon, the sides of the house prevented me from seeing them, but I heard no thunder, or observed any sign of approaching rain; just asz the fire of one pile began to blaze, the wind rose, from the time they began to kindle the fire and to tie me to the post, until the wind began to blow, was about fifteen minutes. The wind blew a hurricane, and rain followed in less than three minutes. The rain fell violent; and the fire, though it began to blaze considerably, was instantly extinguished. The rain lasted about a quarter of an hour.
When it was over the savages stood amazed, and were a long time silent;. At last one said, we will let him alone till morning, and take a whole day’s frolic in burning him. The syun at this time was about three hours high. It was agreed upon, and the rope about my neck was untied, and making me sit down, they began to dance around me. They continued dancing in this manner until eleven o’clock at night; in the meantime, beating, kicking and wounding me with their tomohawks and clubs.[19]
At last one of the warriors, the Half Moon, asked me if I was sleepy? I answered, yes The head warrior then chose out three warriors to take care of me. I was taken to block house; my arms were tied until the cord was hid in the flesh, they were tied in two places, round the wrist and above the elbows. A rope was fastened about my neck and tied to a beam of the house, but permitting me to lie down on a board. The three warriors were constantly harassing and troubling me, saying, “How will you lide to eat fire tomorrow—you will kill no more Indians now.”[20]

Lois,
Could this Frances Cutloaf also be the Francis Cutliff, age 61 in 1805,
mentioned in Chalkley's Chronicles, Volume II of Chronicles of the
Scotch-Irish Settlements of Virginia, p. 73? Conrad Cutliff is also
mentioned with Gotlieb and question mark in parenthesis after his name. They

Lyman C. Draper, Esp.
Dear Sir
Your letter of the 26th April was duly received and I now (word unclear) to reply to its contents.
I have none of Col. Crawfords old papers and have never had any. If he left any his son John Crawford must have had them. He lived and died in Adams Co., Ohio near West Union. He left several children who are it is presumed still living in that Co. or Section. Their names are William, Mary (sic Moses), Richard and a fourth whose name I have forgotten (George Washington), and daughters Sarah and Mary.
All his children are married. The names of the husbands of the daughters I have also forgotten. Upon making enquiry of them you will probabloy ascertain whether Col. Crawford left any papers which will aid you in your proposed biography of him. None of Col. Cs children are living.
Col. Crawford it is my impression was born in Westmoreland Co Va and this impression is induced by the fact that he was an associate of Genl. Washington when they were youths, tho he was some ten or twelve years older than Washington. Col. Crawford had three half brothers, John, Hugh, and Richard Stevenson, familiarly called Stimson. John and Richard commanded regiments in the revolutionary war. The year of Col. C’s birth is unknown to me. My father was six years younger than Genl W. & Col. Must have been some twenty years older than my father. He had one full brother whose name was Valentine who died whilst I was a boy.; His history presents nothing remarkable. Col. C was for many years a resident of Berkely Co. Va is then called, between Harpers Ferry & Winchester. He married in that section of Virginia a lady whose maiden name I do not recollect. Her Christian name was Hannah. I have no knowledge of the time of this marriage. From Va he migrated to Fayette Co, Penna in 1773 or 1774. His children were Effie, my mother; Sarah who married William Harrison; and John Crawford, my mother being the oldest & John the youngest.
(Next lengthy paragraph concerns retreat and captures and deaths at Sandusky battle.)
I have frequently heard my father and mother say that C. went with a part to the relief of Hannah Town, raised the siege and rescued an Indian girl. This is all I know of this. About 1767 & 1768 Genl. W & Col C were engage together in (faded word) warrants on the Kenhawa river in Va. I do not recollect when the C. was engaged in the early Indian wars. He served during the revolutionary war, was in several engagements, but of what character he served or any other particulars attending his carrer (sic) I cannot now recollect. My father and mother both died in Fayette Co Pa, the first died in 1818 & my mother in 1821. The former was of the age of nearly 80 and my mother was nearly 74. Mrs. Springer the widow of Major Harrison was younger than my mother & John Crawford younger than both.

The remarkable circumstanceds attending the execution of my grandfather, partaking so largely of the marvelous as to challenge the belief of the most credulous, I may be permitted here to relate. On the day that Col C was burned I was playing in my father’s yard and in the field near the house I saw, or imagined I saw, a log heap on fire surrounded by Indians and a white burnt in the fire and that man was my grandfather & I alarmed my father & mother by calling them to take “my grand-dad out of the fire”, & such was the effect that the appearance had upon my mind they found it impossible to pacify me. It was ascertained afterwards that my grandfather was at that very hour being burned by the Indians. I was then nearly two years old & what is still remarkable I have now a distinct recollection of the impression then made upon my mind so vivid as tho’ it had occurred by (sic) yesterday. This singular fact was well attested to by my parents while living.

June 29, 2012: 5400-5200 B.C: Oldest Neolithic Bow Discovered in Europe
ScienceDaily (June 29, 2012) — Researchers from UAB and CSIC have discovered the oldest Neolithic bow in Europe at La Draga Neolithic site in Banyoles yields. The complete bow measures 108 cm long and was constructed of yew wood.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archaeological research carried out at the Neolithic site of La Draga, near the lake of Banyoles, has yielded the discovery of an item which is unique to the western Mediterranean and Europe. The item is a bow dating from the period between 5400-5200 BCE, corresponding to the earliest period of settlement. It is the first bow to be found intact at the site. It can be considered the most ancient bow of the Neolithic period found in Europe.
The bow is 108 cm long and presents a plano-convex section. It is made out of yew wood (Taxus baccata) as were the majority of Neolithic bows in Europe.
In previous archaeological digs, fragments of two bows were found (in 2002 and 2005) also from the same time period, but since they are fragmented it is impossible to analyze their characteristics in depth. The current discovery opens new perspectives in understanding how these farming communities lived and organized themselves. These bows could have served different purposes, such as hunting, although if one takes into account that this activity was not all that common in the La Draga area, it cannot be ruled out that the bows may have represented elements of prestige or been related to defensive or confrontational activities. Remains have been found of bows in Northern Europe (Denmark, Russia) dating from between the 8th and 9th centuries BCE among hunter-gatherer groups, although these groups were from the Paleolithic period, and not the Neolithic.
The majority of bows from the Neolithic period in Europe can be found in central and northern Europe. Some fragments of these Neolithic bows from central Europe date from the end of the 6th millennium BCE, between 5200-5000 BCE, although generally they are from later periods, often more than a thousand years newer than La Draga. For this reason archaeologists can affirm that the three bows found at La Draga are the most ancient bows in Europe from the Neolithic period.
A new study will analyze aspects of the technology, survival strategies and social organization of the first farming communities which settled in the Iberian Peninsula.
The research carried out at the La Draga site is financed by the Department of Culture of the Government of Catalonia and the Spanish Ministry for Economy and Competitiveness. This project is being conducted under the coordination of the County Archaeological Museum of Banyoles, with the participation of the UAB Department of Prehistory, the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology of the CSIC Institute Milà i Fontanals, the National Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia and the Centre for Underwater Archaeology of Catalonia. The excavation includes the participation of archaeology students from UAB and other universities in Spain and Europe.
The Neolithic people of La Draga, Banyoles
La Draga is located in the town of Banyoles, belonging to the county of Pla de l'Estany, and is an archaeological site corresponding to the location in which one of the first farming communities settled in the north-east of the Iberian Peninsula. The site is located on the eastern part of the Banyoles Lake and dates back to 5400 and 5000 BCE. The site occupies 8000 sq m and stretches out 100 m along the lake's shore and 80 m towards the east. Part of the site is totally submerged in the lake, while other parts are located on solid ground. The first digs were conducted between the years 1990 and 2005, under the scientific leadership of the County Archaeological Museum of Banyoles. Since 1994, excavations were also carried out by the Centre for Underwater Research (Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia).
The current project (2008-2013) includes participation by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the Spanish National Research Council.
The site at La Draga is exceptional for several reasons. Firstly, due to its antiquity, which is considered to be one of the oldest of the Neolithic period existing in the Iberian Peninsula. Secondly, because it is an open-air site with a fairly continuous occupation. Lastly, and surely most remarkably, because of the exceptional conditions in which it is conserved. The archaeological levels are located in the phreatic layer surrounding Lake Banyoles, giving way to anaerobic conditions which favour the conservation of organic material. These circumstances make La Draga a unique site in all of the Iberian Peninsula, since it is the only one known to have these characteristics. In Europe, together with Dispilo in Greece and La Marmota in Italy, it is one of the few lake settlements from the 6th millennium BCE.

14505 years ago…Welsh Reindeer Is Britain's Oldest Rock Art, U-Series Dating Suggests
ScienceDaily (June 29, 2012) — A reindeer engraved on the wall of a cave in South Wales has been found to date from at least 14,505 years ago -- making it the oldest known rock art in the British Isles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The engraving was discovered in September 2010 by Dr. George Nash from the University of Bristol's Department of Archaeology and Anthropology while he was exploring the rear section of Cathole Cave, a limestone cave on the eastern side of an inland valley on the Gower Peninsula, South Wales.
Found to the rear of the cave on a small vertical limestone niche, the engraved cervid -- probably a stylized reindeer -- is shown side-on and measures approximately 15 x 11cm. It was carved using a sharp-pointed tool, probably made of flint, by an artist using his or her right hand. The animal's elongated torso has been infilled with irregular-spaced vertical and diagonal lines, whilst the legs and stylized antlers comprise simple lines.
The reindeer was engraved over a mineral deposit known as a 'speleothem' (cave formation), which itself developed over a large piece of limestone. Extending over the left side of the figure is a flowstone deposit (speleothem cover) which extends across part of the animal's muzzle and antler set.
In April 2011, Dr Peter van Calsteren and Dr Louise Thomas of the NERC-Open University Uranium-series Facility extracted three samples from the surface of the speleothem covering the engraving. One of these samples produced a minimum date of 12,572 years BP (before present), with a margin of plus or minus 600 years. A further sample, taken in June 2011 from the same flowstone deposit, revealed a minimum date of 14,505 years BP, plus or minus 560 years.
Dr Nash said: "The earlier date is comparable with Uranium-series dating of flowstone that covers engraved figures within Church Hole Cave at Creswell along the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border. However, the new minimum date of 14,505 + 560 years BP makes the engraved reindeer in South Wales the oldest rock art in the British Isles, if not North-western Europe."

[15] Assassination. A single word that some believe may have started the French and Indian War. The surrender terms given to George Washington by the French at Fort Necessity contained the word “assassinat " in the original French. The word was used in a sentence pertaining to the death of Ensign Coulon de Jumonville in the fight between Jumonville with his force of 33 militia against Washington and a contingent of forty Virginia volunteers plus approximately a dozen Indians led by Tanagharison (The Half King) and Scarrooyady. This fight was the prelude to the battle for Fort Necessity.
The surrender document was written in French and the translation was made by Jacob Van Braam—a Dutch lieutenant /captain on Washington’s staff. William Peyronie (a French Huguenot), had participated in earlier negotiations with the French but a wound caused him to collapse and not be available for translation of the final surrender document. Andre Montour, son of Madame Montour and presumably also French speaking, was absent from the Fort at the time of the surrender. Thus, the surrender document stated that Washington and his forces had “assassinated” Jumonville—rather than Jumonville being simply “killed” in the conflict.
The assassination became a rallying cry for French indignation. Van Braam read “assassinat" as killed. Washington is said to have been angry with Van Braam when he was informed of the faulty translation. The argument on this point continues to this day. Some say an assassination is the killing of a prominent person—not an” infantry ensign” sent out on a scouting patrol. Jumonville was not a prominent person under this definition. Assassination normally indicates a pre-meditated act, while wilful murder is manslaughter. This parsing of words is similar to the use of the word tragedy. For one’s death to be a tragedy, one must be a prominent person. Under this definition the death of a normal person is not a tragedy.
Van Braam’s translation may be understandable in that assassination was not a word used in normal conversation—although “assassination” had permeated European political intrigue for centuries. Assassin comes from the name of a small Islamic sect involved in secret murders back in the 11th century—they were called assassins. The pronunciation stems from the word hashish, which was offered as a reward to successful assassins.
As the French and Indian War progressed, we find the hatcheting of wounded prisoners to become an all too common practice.

• June 29, 3123 B.C.
• Sodom and Gemorah, fire from the sky. New discoveries archaeology, astrology and geology uncover evidence of literal fire from the sky in the form of an asteroid. The Bibile is sacred scripture to billions yet new breakthroughs in technology suggest that the fantastic tales and miracles have a basis in fact. One of the most compelling tales of all twenty four books of the old testament concerns two cities located by the dead sea. The Bible says that they are so wicked that God destroys them dramatically raining down fire and brimstone. Fire rains down from the sky and the entire plain is ultimately covered in this burnt remnant that erupted from the air.
Recent discoveries in astronomy and geology suggest that the story of Sodom’s fiery destruction may be more than just a moral parable. It may record an actual historic event.
It is probable that most myths are the subject of a probable event. In 2008 an artifact from ancient sumeria was translated for the first time and it seems to provide startling correlation to the story of Sodom.
On a small clay disc an ancient Sumerian astronomer recorded a strange site in the night skies. He indicates that the object is passing in front of stars at a high rate of speed. The clay transcription gives enough data that the speed and trajectory of the object can be traced backward leading to literal fire from the sky in the form of an asteroid. They believe based on the description on the tablet that the asteroid itself was about 1.25 kilometers diameter.[1]
If the information on the tablet is correct the impact would have been devastating. One hundred times more powerful than the worlds largest nuclear weapon. The fireball would have been more than 100 kilometers across. The resulting plume of flaming degree could have fallen for hundreds of miles. We would have had fire and brimstone in the area where fire and brimstone was supposed to have occurred.
In the book of Genesis, in the very first book of the Bible in Genesis chapter 18, it tells the story of a riteous man named Lot who moves his family to the bustling city of Sodom. In the book of Genesis God feels that the city of Sodom is so bad that God says that it must be destroyed. According to the Bible Gods wrath extends to all the cities nearby including Gomorra, Zoar, Admah, and Zeboiim. However God decides to save Lot if he can. God sends two angles disguized as men to visit Lot inside Sodom with a warning of the impending destruction. The men tell Lot he needs to get out. That he needs to get his daughters and wife and go out of town. They tell Lot that they are going to destroy this town. Lot is told to escape to the mountains and that one of the cities of the plane would be spared, the small town of Zoar. The angels give one last command, that they should not look back at the city. Lot and his family flee Sodom early in the morning, and as the sun rose fire fell from the sky. God destroyed the cities of the plain. The Bible says that Lot and his family fled to sanctuary in a cave above Zoar. After the destruction of Sodom and Gemorrah they believed that they were the last people on earth. And there the story ends.
In the story Lots wife does look back, and that is example of ideology or explanation of the pillars of salt that are found nearby.
For thousands of years the story of these cities was only found in pages of the Bible. In 1894 an archeological expedition uncovered suprizing support for the wrath of God. Under the floorstones of the Church of St. George lies an intricate map built sometime in the 6th century C.E. This beautiful work reveals the lay of the land showing Jerusalem, Jordon, the Dead See and in the Southeast corner an ancient name not seen anywhere else but the Bible, Zoar. It is the smallest of the Bibilical cities of the plain. The one city that God did not destroy. It was hard evidence that one of the Biblical cities existed. In fact the village exists to this day, known by its medieval name Safi. Also on the map was a partially obscured phrase written in Greek, “The sactuary of St. Lot or Holy Lot.” Perhaps this alludes to the sanctuary of Lot during the destruction of Sodom. Archeologist followed the trail that was laid out on the map which led directly to the ruins of an ancient church built in the seventh century C.E. The tiles in the church directly refer to the cave as the “Sancutary of Holy lot.” Archeologists also found one other fascinating detail. The Cave seams to match the describtion of Lots sanctuary outside the Lost city of Zoar.
Bab edh Dhra: The city that matches most closely to the city of Sodom is the city of Bab edh Dhra. 50 miles from Jerusalem in the Bronze age, Bab edh Dhra was an independent walled city. The city was surrounded by villages and agricultural land and was independent like a city state. Bab edh drah at its height was home to 1000 individuals. Bab edh drah also contains mass graves. The oldest graves date from about 3000 B.C.E.[2]
The ancient Sumerians were well versed in astronomy. The Sumerian Planasphere is a very sophisticated interetation of the nights sky. It was created by a professional astrologer who knew his trade. He was using instruments to measure angles. It indicates an object that was alien to their interpretation. The astrologer could not make out if it was a star or a planet. It could mean only one thing, an asteroid. The astrologer is standing in Southern Iraq. The object hit the Austrian Alps at a place called Kofels in the Austrian Valley. There is no crater because the asteroid exploded in an air burst. The object produced a massive plume that reverses back along the asterioids trajectory. The resulting fallout falls 1500 miles away from the blast site centered on the dead sea. There would be few survivors from a massive plume reentry centered on the the dead sea. [3]
After matching the night sky with the Planashere the date of the impact is June 29, 3123 B.C.
There is other evidence of a massive explosion. According to an ice core taken from a retreating glacier in Peru plants were found to have been frozen 5,200 years ago. There had been a massive climate collapse 5,200 years. After check with other ice cores it turns out that this had been a global event.
In Africa a lush and fertile area dried up to become the Sahara desert. In Chile formerly tropical area became covered with ice for millennia. In the middle east fertile regions turned into desert and civilizations collapsed.
An asteroid ¾ of a mile wide would have created a smoke plume that would have circled the globe blocked the sun for month causing a world wide climate collapse.
If this is all true we can now explain the destruction of Sodom and Gommorah. [4]

June 29, 1519:
The exact date of birth of FitzRoy had not been recorded as his birth was a secret. It seems though that Henry FitzRoy entered the world earlier than originally planned. Cardinal Thomas Wolsey was out of London from June 9, until the June 18, when he reappeared back at court at Windsor. The following day he was expected at Hampton Court, yet it is not until the June 29, does he reappear at a council meeting at Westminster. Since June 18, was chosen for FitzRoy’s elevation to the peerage in 1525, it is tempting to conclude that the minister was unexpectedly waylaid by the child’s birth. The policy of discretion worked, as the baby boy’s arrival caused no great stir, and the various diplomatic dispatches record nothing of Henry VIII's illegitimate son.[2]
Christening
The christening of the newborn Henry FitzRoy is not recorded. However it is known that Cardinal Thomas Wolsey was godfather to the King’s son. Wolsey was even present at the Christening and was not represented proxy which puts the date of the Christening possibly before the June 29, when he reappeared at court.[3] The identity of the other Godfather is unknown, and although Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk would take a great interest in Henry FitzRoy when he was older, in 1519 he was still the heir to the duchy of Norfolk, and was still called the earl of Surrey. If Henry chose the House of Howard, he would have chosen the elder Thomas Howard, who at the time was the 2nd Duke of Norfolk. This Thomas Howard had fought and defeated the Scots at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Another suggestion for the second godfather could be Henry VIII himself. Henry had taken the role of godfather at the Christening of his own nephew Lord Henry Brandon in March 1516, and his daughter Princess Mary stood godfather to her half brother Prince Edward in 1537.[4] The godmother is also unknown, it would have been indecent to ask a lady of court as they would have had ties to the Queen. The godmother of little Henry FitzRoy was possibly a relation of his mother Elizabeth Blount.
Acknowledgement
The infant boy was given the name FitzRoy to make sure that all knew that the boy was son of the King, he was even given the name Henry after his royal father. Henry VIII who perhaps felt that his lack of male heir was a slur upon his manhood, abandoned all discretion and openly acknowledged the boy.[5] At one point Henry VIII proudly exhibited to the court his newborn son, his wife Catherine of Aragon attended at the manor house.[6] This could have taken place when the Queen of England threw a sumptuous banquet at her manor of Havering-atte-Bower, in honour of the French hostages in August of that year. Indeed Henry’s rivalry with Francis I, King of France may have required his pride to so, as in that year he had stood godfather to Francis's second son Prince Henry of France, who was named for Henry by Francis and he may have enjoyed that after ten years on the throne he finally had a son to show off. Alternatively the wires might be crossed and Henry might have showed his son off at a banquet in the recently refurbished manor of Newhall; this would accommodate the myth that Henry had been revamping it for the use of one of his mistresses.

June 29, 1539: Norfolk, Suffolk and Cromwell dined with the King as guests of Archbishop Cranmer. During a heated discussion about Cardinal Wolsey, Cromwell charged Norfolk with disloyalty and Norfolk called Cromwell a liar. Their mutual hostility was now out in the open.[2] Cromwell inadvertently played into Norfolk's hands by taking the initiative in the King's marriage to Anne of Cleves. The King's disillusionment with Anne's physical appearance when he met her in January 1540 and his desire after the wedding had taken place to have the marriage annulled gave Norfolk an opportunity to bring down his enemy.[8] [9]
June 29, 1547:: Knox's chaplaincy of the castle garrison was not to last long. While Hamilton was willing to negotiate with England to stop their support of the rebels and bring the castle back under his control, Mary of Guise decided that it could only be taken by force and requested the king of France, Henry II to intervene.[21] On June 29, 1547, 21 French galleys approached St Andrews under the command of Leone Strozzi, prior of Capua.

June 29, 1654: In Cuenca, Spain, 57 Marranos were taken to the auto-da-fe. Ten were burnt to death. One of them, Balthasar Lopez, announced as he was taken to the stake "I don't believe in Christ even if you bind me." He had returned recently from Bayonne in order to persuade his nephew to return to Judaism when he was captured by the Inquisition.[12]
June 29, 1670: at five o'clock, Henrietta drank a glass of iced chicory water. According to reports, immediately after drinking the water she felt a pain in her side and cried out, "Ah! What a pain! What shall I do! I must be poisoned!".[35] She immediately assumed she had been poisoned and asked both for an antidote and for someone to examine the chicory water.[33] She was given common contemporary treatments for colic, as well as anti-poisons.[33] The royal family arrived at Saint Cloud having heard the news within hours.[13]
Saturday June 29, 1754:
Captain Mackay and his South Carolinians arrive at Gist's plantation. With news of the French force being on the move, the officers have a conference "to consider what was most prudent and necessary to be done in the present situation of affairs."(George Washington) The officers decide to evacuate the plantation and retreat to the more defensible stockade at the Great Meadows. That afternoon the men begin their retreat. [14]
June 29, 1754
Coulon de Villiers’s force was an impressive one as it left Fort Duquesne on J une 29 and began its journey up the Monongahela River. Over a hundred canoes there were, each carrying ten men or more, plus considerable equipment and artillery. There were seven hundred soldiers and just over three hundred fifty Indians representing nine different tribes, their faces painted with blacks and browns and whites in savage designs.
All day they paddled upstream and finally made camp for the night or. a broad bank of the Monongahela’s west shore not very far below Redstone Creek where, in the morning, they expected to engage the English. Here. as most of the Indians watched curiously, the Jesuit priest who was chaplain of the expedition said a solemn Sunday Mass for the soldiers.
After the service was completed, the guards posted and the men remain ing had eaten and were settling down for the night, Captain Villiers callec all the chiefs together for a council. Though he knew precisely how he intended to conduct the campaign, he knew as well that it would please the chiefs and bind them and their warriors more firmly to him if he were to ask their advice and, where practicable and amenable to his own plans, follow it.
The chiefs were pleased indeed and the council continued far into the night, with Villiers gravely noting everything said and every idea proposed Spies had now brought in word that the Redstone storehouse was abandoned and in the morning (June 30) the whole flotilla was on the move again before the sun had risen. They quickly reached the Ohio Company’s storehouse and beached their canoes well up from the water. Villiers posted a sergeant’s guard to protect the boats and immediately ordered the pursuit march begun on Washington’s very evident trail.
The going was no easier for them than it had been for Washington and, when the first halt was called only a few miles from Redstone, the chaplain was so fatigued he declared he could not go farther and would return to the storehouse to wait there. Before leaving, however, he held another service for the entire body of men and absolved them of all their sins.
The march continued while scouts came and went with regularity in front of the army. On the first day of July (July 1) they had reached Gist’s settlement and, finding it abandoned, bivouacked there. Only the officers benefitted from the comfort of the quarters here. The remainder of the army and the Indians were out of doors and spent a miserable night engaged in the impossible task of trying to stay warm and dry through a droning. persistent rain which began just before midnight and did not cease untill daybreak.
They munched cold rations without pleasure in the light of dawn and then took up the march again, only to have the downpour begin anew before they had traveled more than a mile. They passed through the gorge of Laurel Hill and Villiers’s scouts came in to report excitedly that the
English were holding fast in the Great Meadows, only four miles ahead.
Here the French force paused and, while his men rested, Coulon de Villiers was guided by some Indians to the spot where his brother had been killed. His features were cold and grim as he stared through the rain at the bloated and scalpless remains of the bodies, including that of Jumonville de Villiers. To have heard of the deaths and scalpings had been bad enough, but to actually see the desecrated remains made him sick and he wished that he had not come. He had no tools with which to bury them in the rocky soil, so he merely said a brief prayer for the departed souls in general and his brother in particular and then returned through the continuing drizzle to his camp.
And then yesterday, when the dismal gray daylight filtered through the forest, the attack march was begun. Throughout the early morning hours he had been receiving continuous reports from his scouts. His battle plans had been relayed to his officers and now the whole expedition was reaching its climax.
At Fort Necessity, Washington and his men continued to strengthen their position as best they could. It was largely a futile effort. No attention was paid to Monakaduto’s advice that they make their stand on a hilltop, not here. In fact, so disgusted by such ridiculous defenses had the Indians become who were attached to them, that Monakaduto and the squaw-chief, Alequippa, deserted the English after conferring among themselves.
“Look around you,” Monakaduto said with a disparaging swing of his arm over the encampment. “Is this how we want to fight a war? The white chief, Washington, is a good-natured man, but he has no experience and will by no means take advice from us. He would rather drive us on to fight by his directions. He has laid at one place from one full moon to the other, yet has made no fortification at all except this little thing here on the meadow where he thinks the French will come up to him in an open field.” He shook his head angrily. “Why should we endanger ourselves and our people, when the French behave like cowards and the English like fools?”
Fort Necessity was not much. A simple square enclosure of upright logs reinforced by dirt heaped on both sides and having a trench no more than knee deep, it was located at the eastern end of an oval-shaped, east-west meadow with a small brook trickling through the middle. On the south side of the enclosure, and partially on the west, there was an embankment on the outside and a rifle-pit ditch had been dug inside this. Morale among the men was abysmal. Even the emergency reserve provisions had been used up now, and for days the army had been living on only the fresh meat of their dwindling herd of beef cattle. Artillery had been placed to command the approaches, but there was precious little cannon powder and
even less for their rifles. The entire English force had last night numbered four hundred five men, but during the night a number had deserted and others had fallen sick. By morning’s light only three hundred fifty men were able to stand and light.
Washington knew the French were coming closer, but when no attack came at dawn yesterday, he thought they would have yet another day to continue their improvements of Fort Necessity. Then, at ii A.M., a wounded scout supported by a companion had stumbled to the commander with the news that the French army was attacking. Within minutes the enemy force had broken from the forest and immediately the Indians with it began a screeching war cry and a ragged firing of their muskets. The range was far too great and the lead balls fell harmlessly.
Believing that the French, since they were far superior in force, would advance at them head on, Washington ordered his men to fall into rank in the meadow before the fort. While the Indians and some of the French soldiers at the far end of the meadow continued the yelling and inconsequential firing, Villiers had ordered the rest of his men to flank the little fort in the woods on both sides of it, approaching as near as possible without showing themselves. Here, on two heavily wooded hills, they took their positions — only sixty paces from the English on the one side, a hundred paces away on the other.
That a worse place for the construction of Fort Necessity could hardly have been chosen now became evident. From these two hills the French had the protection of trees and could shoot from above with a murderous crossfire and rake much of the interior of the fortification with their bullets. It was a predicament that dawned on the young commander with staggering impact and now he countermanded his initial order and had the entire force withdraw into the fortification and take cover as well as they could out of the crossfire.
The rain that had fallen all night stopped at dawn for an hour, then began to fall again and had continued ever since. Now it became a heavier downpour and the trench inside Fort Necessity became little more than a mucky, calf-deep quagmire. The light swivels still commanded the approaches to the fort, but now the French musket fire was coming so heavily from the two hills that there was no protection at all for the artillerymen and, for the most part, the big guns remained silent.
The firing from both sides became hot and deadly at those times when the rain slackened, then petered out to a ragged scattering of shots as the downpour increased. Late in the afternoon the rainfall became so hard that only occasional shots were heard but then, with the approach of evening, it eased up to no more than a fine drizzle and the shooting became very heavy again until darkness fell.
The bodies of the English soldiers, regulars and colonials alike, lay where they had fallen inside the fort. Twelve of George Washington’s volunteers lay dead in the muck, along with eighteen of Captain Mackay’s regulars. Seventy men with crippling bullet wounds crouched against the ramparts, moaning and weeping, almost two thirds of them from among the volunteers. Their situation was critical in the extreme. Desperately hungry, weakened by sickness and desertion, almost out of ammunition, their guns badly befouled and only two screw-rods on hand with which to clean them, total destruction seemed imminent.
To make it even worse, discipline was collapsing and some of the men had gotten into the remaining rum supply. Half of those not wounded were now drunk. They raised their cups in sarcastic gesture to any officer who approached them and said, “We who are about to die don’t salute you . . . we ask why in hell we are here?”
The situation was terrible and still degenerating, but Villiers did not know how badly off Washington’s army actually was. As darkness fell and ended a nine-hour battle with no cry for mercy having come from the fort, the French officer began to grow a little worried. His fears were compounded when a pair of Delawares rushed up to tell him that they had been scouting to the east and heard, far in the distance, the beating of drums and the firing of a cannon.
“The chiefs have sent us to tell you this,” said the spokesman. “We are further to tell you that we will continue to fight throughout the night, if that is your wish, but with the dawn we will leave.”
The Delawares walked away without waiting for a reply and Villiers reflected sourly on the situation. He didn’t know whether or not to believe the report of drums and cannon in the distance. Though he doubted it, it could possibly be true. If it was, his own army might be in jeopardy. Ammunition was falling short and there was even the possibility that the English might sally out of the fort in a body to attack.12
He called Le Mercier to him and they discussed the situation. Within minutes they had decided that the best course would be to send in a messenger under a flag of truce for capitulation talks with the English. The messenger was sent, and he advanced to Fort Necessity waving a large cloth attached to a pole and shouting at intervals, “Don’t shoot! I come unarmed to talk with your commander!”
Washington met him in front of the breastwork, not permitting him to see the interior nor the condition of his men. He considered the messenger :o be more of a spy sent to see how the English were faring than as a bona ~de deliverer of capitulation terms. He rejected the proposal in a peremp:ory manner and sent the Frenchman back.
The more he thought about what the man had said, however, the more
he began to wish he had been less hasty with his reply. If they continued the fight, it could only end in annihilation of the English. Did he have the right to threaten his men with sure death if it was not really necessary? As he was pondering this question, the messenger returned to the fort and called out again that he came unarmed to speak to the commander. This time Washington listened carefully.
“My commandant,” the messenger said nervously, “wishes that you will think again what will certainly befall you if you continue in this way. He asks that you send him an officer to discuss terms by which no more blood need be shed.”
There could be no further hesitation. He told the Frenchman to wait, stationed a guard with him and withdrew into the fort. Only two men in his whole army could speak French; one was a young ensign named Peroney, but he was disabled with a bullet hole through his calf muscle. The other was his own friend and companion from last winter’s wilderness journey, the recently promoted Dutchman, Captain Jacob van Braam. There could be no choice in the matter: van Braam would have to go.
The officer was gone for a long time — so long, in fact, that Washington began to fear it had all been just a ruse to diminish his officer strength. But then van Braam returned bearing with him the articles of capitulation being offered by Villiers. Washington summoned all his officers, and they huddled together, keeping a sputtering candle lighted only with difficulty, while van Braam interpreted the paper.
On the whole, the terms were most generous, although certain objections were made to some of them and these were changed. But now they were coming to a passage which van Braam knew would almost certainly cause Washington to reject the capitulation entirely, and so he carefully mistranslated so that the section assigning to Washington personally “. . . l’assassinat[15] du Sieur de Jumonville . . .“ — the murder of Sieur de Jumonville — became, instead, the death of Sienr de Jumonville. The rest of the capitulation terms were quite acceptable and undoubtedly much more generous than they would have been had Villiers known the true nature of the English condition:
The commander and his men shall be permitted to march out of their fort with drums beating and the honors of war attending. They shall be permitted to carry with them one of their swivels and all other of their pro perty and baggage, cattle, arms and ammunition. They shall be protected against any insult from French or Indians. The prisoners taken in the affair of Jumonville shall be set free. Finally, two English officers shall remain as hostages for our safe return to Fort Duquesne.
Inwardly delighted to get off thus easily from what was certain disaster, all of the English officers signed the paper at just about midnight, including
Colonel Washington, who thereupon branded himself forever in French eves as the murderer of Jumonville. There was no little discussion regarding who was to remain behind as hostage, but at length the decision was made:
the two would be van Braam, since he understood French and might be able to learn something valuable to impart when — and if — he returned, and Lieutenant Robert Stobo, who accepted the appointment if not with pleasure, at least without evident fear.
Most of the rest of the night was spent in preparations for their departure, and in the early morning light of an overcast but rainless morning today, they filed out to the pitiful cadence of a single drummer. Already part of the capitulation terms had been broken. During the remainder of the night, under cover of the cease-fire order from both sides, the Indians had slipped into the adjoining cattle compound and slit the throats of those horses and beef cattle not already killed by the previous day’s shooting.
Now it was upon the unwounded men to carry the sick and wounded on their own backs and therefore leave behind much of the baggage they had intended taking. But the supposed withdrawal-with-honor turned into an ignominious retreat. The Indians heckled them incessantly and the heckling degenerated into plundering and threats to kill the remaining English and take their scalps — just as the bodies still within Fort Necessity were at this moment being scalped.
Nor was it just talk. There was hatred and murder in the eyes of the Indians, and abruptly they seized the medicine chest being carried by two privates and smashed it to bits. When two of the wounded men complained, they were killed by tomahawk blows, their scalps cut off immediately and then shaken in the faces of others. It was only with threats to withhold their presents that the angry Captain Villiers finally forced them to desist and the dismal march continued for the English.
Even then they managed to travel only three miles before exhaustion forced them to stop and make camp, fearful that at any moment the Indians might again swoop down on them and this time wipe out everyone. Washington dispatched two of his most able survivors to continue the remaining forty-nine miles to Will’s Creek Station and return with wagons for these men still here.
Men sprawled on the ground wherever they had taken their burdens from their backs. Washington himself was carrying a heavy load, and it was one that he could not put down, a load greater than anyone else’s; a spiritual load which threatened to engulf him. The sight of his suffering injured men being borne in defeat on the backs of their staggering comrades; the knowledge that so many of his men had been killed; the knowledge that he had been thoroughly defeated in his first major engagement; the knowledge that his failure could not help but cause further disastrous losses for the English throughout the frontier; the knowledge that now, beyond any doubt, those Indian tribes still vacillating in their allegiance would flock to the French; all these things and more made this the bleakest time of his entire life thus far.
Behind him, Villiers was returning in triumph to Fort Duquesne, having had only two men killed. He was burning Gist’s Settlement and the Ohio Company’s Redstone storehouse as he passed, and he was bearing to his commandant, Captain Contrecoeur, and to the Marquis Duquesne the electrifying news that now not a single English flag was flying to the west of the Alleghenies.[16]

June 29, 1782
The day after the council I have mentioned, about fortywarriors, accompanied by Georgy Girty, came early in the morning around the house where I was. The squaws gave me up, I was sitting before the door of the house; they put a rope round my neck, tied my arms behind by back, stripped me naked, and blacked me in the usual manner. George Girty, as soon as I was tied, d—d (damned?) me, and said that I now should get what I had deserved many years. I was led away to a town distant about five miles, to which a messenger had been dispatched to desire them to prepare to receive me.
Arriving at this town, I was beaten with clubs and the pipe ends of their tomahawks, and was kept for some time tied to a tree before a house door. In the meanwhile the inhabitants set out to another town about two miles distant. Where I was to be burnt, and where I arrived about three o’clock in the afternoon.
Here also was a council house, part of it covered and part of it without a roof. In the part of it where no cover was, but only sides built up, there stood a post about sixteen feet in height, and in the middle of the house around the post, there were three piles of wood built about three feet high and four feet from the post.
Being brought to the post my arms were tied behind me, and the thoung or cord with which they were bound was fastened to the post; arope also was put about my neck, and tied to tpost about four feet above my head During the time they were tying me, piles of wood were kindled and began to flame.
Death by burning, which appeared to be now my fate, I had resolved to sutain with patience. The diving grace of God had made it less alarming to me; for on my way this day I had been greatly exercised in regard to my latter end. I knew myself to have been a regular member of the church, and to have sought repentance for my sins; but though I had often heard of the faith of assurance, had known nothing of it; but early this day, insantaneouly by a chang wrought upon me sudden and perceivable as lightning, an assurance of my peace made with God, sprung up in mind. The following words were the subject of my meditation “In peace thou shalt see God. Fear not those who can kill the body. In peace shalt thou depart.” I was on this occasion by a confidence in mind not to be resitied, fully assured of my salvation This being the case I was willing, satisfied and glad to die.
I was tied to the post, as I have already said, and the flame was now kindled. The day was clear, not a cloud to be seen. If there were clouds low on the horizon, the sides of the house prevented me from seeing them, but I heard no thunder, or observed any sign of approaching rain; just asz the fire of one pile began to blaze, the wind rose, from the time they began to kindle the fire and to tie me to the post, until the wind began to blow, was about fifteen minutes. The wind blew a hurricane, and rain followed in less than three minutes. The rain fell violent; and the fire, though it began to blaze considerably, was instantly extinguished. The rain lasted about a quarter of an hour.
When it was over the savages stood amazed, and were a long time silent;. At last one said, we will let him alone till morning, and take a whole day’s frolic in burning him. The syun at this time was about three hours high. It was agreed upon, and the rope about my neck was untied, and making me sit down, they began to dance around me. They continued dancing in this manner until eleven o’clock at night; in the meantime, beating, kicking and wounding me with their tomohawks and clubs.[19]
At last one of the warriors, the Half Moon, asked me if I was sleepy? I answered, yes The head warrior then chose out three warriors to take care of me. I was taken to block house; my arms were tied until the cord was hid in the flesh, they were tied in two places, round the wrist and above the elbows. A rope was fastened about my neck and tied to a beam of the house, but permitting me to lie down on a board. The three warriors were constantly harassing and troubling me, saying, “How will you lide to eat fire tomorrow—you will kill no more Indians now.”[20]

June 29, 1805: What’s the connection between Francis Godlove and Conrad Goodlove? I had been trying for years to run down the "Cutliff" depositions that Chalkley's Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish identifies as being associated with the Crockett case. Working on the possibility that Chalkley had it wrong and that the depositions might be found in a another case filed in 1804-06, I went to Staunton in May and within a half hour located them.
In a deposition given at Maguire’s Tavern in Winchester on June 29, 1805, “Francis Cutlif” (signature “Francis Gottlob”) gave his age as 61. "Conrad Cutliff," age 19, signed with a mark. [Conrad vs..

Lois,
Could this Frances Cutloaf also be the Francis Cutliff, age 61 in 1805,
mentioned in Chalkley's Chronicles, Volume II of Chronicles of the
Scotch-Irish Settlements of Virginia, p. 73? Conrad Cutliff is also
mentioned with Gotlieb and question mark in parenthesis after his name. They
were residents of Winchester, Frederick County, VA, but the depositions were
deposited in Augusta County.

Lyman C. Draper, Esp.
Dear Sir
Your letter of the 26th April was duly received and I now (word unclear) to reply to its contents.
I have none of Col. Crawfords old papers and have never had any. If he left any his son John Crawford must have had them. He lived and died in Adams Co., Ohio near West Union. He left several children who are it is presumed still living in that Co. or Section. Their names are William, Mary (sic Moses), Richard and a fourth whose name I have forgotten (George Washington), and daughters Sarah and Mary.
All his children are married. The names of the husbands of the daughters I have also forgotten. Upon making enquiry of them you will probabloy ascertain whether Col. Crawford left any papers which will aid you in your proposed biography of him. None of Col. Cs children are living.
Col. Crawford it is my impression was born in Westmoreland Co Va and this impression is induced by the fact that he was an associate of Genl. Washington when they were youths, tho he was some ten or twelve years older than Washington. Col. Crawford had three half brothers, John, Hugh, and Richard Stevenson, familiarly called Stimson. John and Richard commanded regiments in the revolutionary war. The year of Col. C’s birth is unknown to me. My father was six years younger than Genl W. & Col. Must have been some twenty years older than my father. He had one full brother whose name was Valentine who died whilst I was a boy.; His history presents nothing remarkable. Col. C was for many years a resident of Berkely Co. Va is then called, between Harpers Ferry & Winchester. He married in that section of Virginia a lady whose maiden name I do not recollect. Her Christian name was Hannah. I have no knowledge of the time of this marriage. From Va he migrated to Fayette Co, Penna in 1773 or 1774. His children were Effie, my mother; Sarah who married William Harrison; and John Crawford, my mother being the oldest & John the youngest.
(Next lengthy paragraph concerns retreat and captures and deaths at Sandusky battle.)
I have frequently heard my father and mother say that C. went with a part to the relief of Hannah Town, raised the siege and rescued an Indian girl. This is all I know of this. About 1767 & 1768 Genl. W & Col C were engage together in (faded word) warrants on the Kenhawa river in Va. I do not recollect when the C. was engaged in the early Indian wars. He served during the revolutionary war, was in several engagements, but of what character he served or any other particulars attending his carrer (sic) I cannot now recollect. My father and mother both died in Fayette Co Pa, the first died in 1818 & my mother in 1821. The former was of the age of nearly 80 and my mother was nearly 74. Mrs. Springer the widow of Major Harrison was younger than my mother & John Crawford younger than both.
(Final paragraph follows, a general closing with the signature, “Wm McCormick”. Then below this is the following added paragraph in the spirit of a postscript.)
The remarkable circumstanceds attending the execution of my grandfather, partaking so largely of the marvelous as to challenge the belief of the most credulous, I may be permitted here to relate. On the day that Col C was burned I was playing in my father’s yard and in the field near the house I saw, or imagined I saw, a log heap on fire surrounded by Indians and a white burnt in the fire and that man was my grandfather & I alarmed my father & mother by calling them to take “my grand-dad out of the fire”, & such was the effect that the appearance had upon my mind they found it impossible to pacify me. It was ascertained afterwards that my grandfather was at that very hour being burned by the Indians. I was then nearly two years old & what is still remarkable I have now a distinct recollection of the impression then made upon my mind so vivid as tho’ it had occurred by (sic) yesterday. This singular fact was well attested to by my parents while living.

June 29, 2012: 5400-5200 B.C: Oldest Neolithic Bow Discovered in Europe
ScienceDaily (June 29, 2012) — Researchers from UAB and CSIC have discovered the oldest Neolithic bow in Europe at La Draga Neolithic site in Banyoles yields. The complete bow measures 108 cm long and was constructed of yew wood.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archaeological research carried out at the Neolithic site of La Draga, near the lake of Banyoles, has yielded the discovery of an item which is unique to the western Mediterranean and Europe. The item is a bow dating from the period between 5400-5200 BCE, corresponding to the earliest period of settlement. It is the first bow to be found intact at the site. It can be considered the most ancient bow of the Neolithic period found in Europe.
The bow is 108 cm long and presents a plano-convex section. It is made out of yew wood (Taxus baccata) as were the majority of Neolithic bows in Europe.
In previous archaeological digs, fragments of two bows were found (in 2002 and 2005) also from the same time period, but since they are fragmented it is impossible to analyze their characteristics in depth. The current discovery opens new perspectives in understanding how these farming communities lived and organized themselves. These bows could have served different purposes, such as hunting, although if one takes into account that this activity was not all that common in the La Draga area, it cannot be ruled out that the bows may have represented elements of prestige or been related to defensive or confrontational activities. Remains have been found of bows in Northern Europe (Denmark, Russia) dating from between the 8th and 9th centuries BCE among hunter-gatherer groups, although these groups were from the Paleolithic period, and not the Neolithic.
The majority of bows from the Neolithic period in Europe can be found in central and northern Europe. Some fragments of these Neolithic bows from central Europe date from the end of the 6th millennium BCE, between 5200-5000 BCE, although generally they are from later periods, often more than a thousand years newer than La Draga. For this reason archaeologists can affirm that the three bows found at La Draga are the most ancient bows in Europe from the Neolithic period.
A new study will analyze aspects of the technology, survival strategies and social organization of the first farming communities which settled in the Iberian Peninsula.
The research carried out at the La Draga site is financed by the Department of Culture of the Government of Catalonia and the Spanish Ministry for Economy and Competitiveness. This project is being conducted under the coordination of the County Archaeological Museum of Banyoles, with the participation of the UAB Department of Prehistory, the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology of the CSIC Institute Milà i Fontanals, the National Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia and the Centre for Underwater Archaeology of Catalonia. The excavation includes the participation of archaeology students from UAB and other universities in Spain and Europe.
The Neolithic people of La Draga, Banyoles
La Draga is located in the town of Banyoles, belonging to the county of Pla de l'Estany, and is an archaeological site corresponding to the location in which one of the first farming communities settled in the north-east of the Iberian Peninsula. The site is located on the eastern part of the Banyoles Lake and dates back to 5400 and 5000 BCE. The site occupies 8000 sq m and stretches out 100 m along the lake's shore and 80 m towards the east. Part of the site is totally submerged in the lake, while other parts are located on solid ground. The first digs were conducted between the years 1990 and 2005, under the scientific leadership of the County Archaeological Museum of Banyoles. Since 1994, excavations were also carried out by the Centre for Underwater Research (Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia).
The current project (2008-2013) includes participation by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the Spanish National Research Council.
The site at La Draga is exceptional for several reasons. Firstly, due to its antiquity, which is considered to be one of the oldest of the Neolithic period existing in the Iberian Peninsula. Secondly, because it is an open-air site with a fairly continuous occupation. Lastly, and surely most remarkably, because of the exceptional conditions in which it is conserved. The archaeological levels are located in the phreatic layer surrounding Lake Banyoles, giving way to anaerobic conditions which favour the conservation of organic material. These circumstances make La Draga a unique site in all of the Iberian Peninsula, since it is the only one known to have these characteristics. In Europe, together with Dispilo in Greece and La Marmota in Italy, it is one of the few lake settlements from the 6th millennium BCE.

14505 years ago…Welsh Reindeer Is Britain's Oldest Rock Art, U-Series Dating Suggests
ScienceDaily (June 29, 2012) — A reindeer engraved on the wall of a cave in South Wales has been found to date from at least 14,505 years ago -- making it the oldest known rock art in the British Isles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The engraving was discovered in September 2010 by Dr. George Nash from the University of Bristol's Department of Archaeology and Anthropology while he was exploring the rear section of Cathole Cave, a limestone cave on the eastern side of an inland valley on the Gower Peninsula, South Wales.
Found to the rear of the cave on a small vertical limestone niche, the engraved cervid -- probably a stylized reindeer -- is shown side-on and measures approximately 15 x 11cm. It was carved using a sharp-pointed tool, probably made of flint, by an artist using his or her right hand. The animal's elongated torso has been infilled with irregular-spaced vertical and diagonal lines, whilst the legs and stylized antlers comprise simple lines.
The reindeer was engraved over a mineral deposit known as a 'speleothem' (cave formation), which itself developed over a large piece of limestone. Extending over the left side of the figure is a flowstone deposit (speleothem cover) which extends across part of the animal's muzzle and antler set.
In April 2011, Dr Peter van Calsteren and Dr Louise Thomas of the NERC-Open University Uranium-series Facility extracted three samples from the surface of the speleothem covering the engraving. One of these samples produced a minimum date of 12,572 years BP (before present), with a margin of plus or minus 600 years. A further sample, taken in June 2011 from the same flowstone deposit, revealed a minimum date of 14,505 years BP, plus or minus 560 years.
Dr Nash said: "The earlier date is comparable with Uranium-series dating of flowstone that covers engraved figures within Church Hole Cave at Creswell along the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border. However, the new minimum date of 14,505 + 560 years BP makes the engraved reindeer in South Wales the oldest rock art in the British Isles, if not North-western Europe."
The image was carved using a sharp-pointed tool, probably made of flint. (Credit: Image by Dr George Nash)[44]

[15] Assassination. A single word that some believe may have started the French and Indian War. The surrender terms given to George Washington by the French at Fort Necessity contained the word “assassinat " in the original French. The word was used in a sentence pertaining to the death of Ensign Coulon de Jumonville in the fight between Jumonville with his force of 33 militia against Washington and a contingent of forty Virginia volunteers plus approximately a dozen Indians led by Tanagharison (The Half King) and Scarrooyady. This fight was the prelude to the battle for Fort Necessity.
The surrender document was written in French and the translation was made by Jacob Van Braam—a Dutch lieutenant /captain on Washington’s staff. William Peyronie (a French Huguenot), had participated in earlier negotiations with the French but a wound caused him to collapse and not be available for translation of the final surrender document. Andre Montour, son of Madame Montour and presumably also French speaking, was absent from the Fort at the time of the surrender. Thus, the surrender document stated that Washington and his forces had “assassinated” Jumonville—rather than Jumonville being simply “killed” in the conflict.
The assassination became a rallying cry for French indignation. Van Braam read “assassinat" as killed. Washington is said to have been angry with Van Braam when he was informed of the faulty translation. The argument on this point continues to this day. Some say an assassination is the killing of a prominent person—not an” infantry ensign” sent out on a scouting patrol. Jumonville was not a prominent person under this definition. Assassination normally indicates a pre-meditated act, while wilful murder is manslaughter. This parsing of words is similar to the use of the word tragedy. For one’s death to be a tragedy, one must be a prominent person. Under this definition the death of a normal person is not a tragedy.
Van Braam’s translation may be understandable in that assassination was not a word used in normal conversation—although “assassination” had permeated European political intrigue for centuries. Assassin comes from the name of a small Islamic sect involved in secret murders back in the 11th century—they were called assassins. The pronunciation stems from the word hashish, which was offered as a reward to successful assassins.
As the French and Indian War progressed, we find the hatcheting of wounded prisoners to become an all too common practice.
