Housing protests galvanize young Israelis
(JACK GUEZ/ AFP/GETTY IMAGES ) - Israelis march in Tel Aviv on July 25 to protest rising housing prices and social inequalities in the Jewish state.
By Joel Greenberg, Published: July 26
TEL AVIV — There’s a free massage corner in the tent city, a compost heap, a makeshift kitchen filled with donated food and a whiteboard bearing a list of tasks for volunteers, from cleaning to leading brainstorming sessions. Signs announce evening lectures and open-air movies at the “Revolution Theater.”
A growing protest movement against rising housing prices in Israel has spawned the tent camp that sprawls along Tel Aviv’s elegant Rothschild Boulevard. With similar encampments popping up in other cities, the movement is posing a serious political challenge to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who on Tuesday responded by unveiling a plan for affordable housing.

Housing protests galvanize young Israelis
Young Israelis fed up with high rents and soaring apartment prices have held raucous protests, blocking intersections in major cities and marching to parliament. The demonstrations began about two weeks ago, after Daphni Leef, 25, of Tel Aviv moved into a tent because she couldn’t find an affordable apartment and then invited others, via Facebook, to join her.
The movement, which has mobilized Israelis in ways that weighty questions of war and peace have not, shows the influence of the Arab Spring, emulating not just its organization methods but also some of its slogans.
“Corner of Rothschild and Tahrir,” read a hand-lettered banner at the tent camp here, invoking the Cairo square that was the epicenter of the Egyptian revolution this year.
Protesters in Jerusalem who marched on parliament Sunday demanded Netanyahu’s resignation and shouted, “The people want social justice!” in an echo of Arab protesters’ cry: “The people want to topple the regime!”
The demonstrations reflect growing discontent among middle-class Israelis, particularly young working people who say that rising costs of housing, food and fuel are outstripping their wages. The sense of hardship has intensified despite an expanding Israeli economy and a drop in the unemployment rate to a record low of 5.7 in May, according to official figures released Monday.
“The feeling is that no matter how hard you work, you can’t make it through the month,” Leef said at the protest camp headquarters.
The housing protests, including a march by thousands Saturday night in Tel Aviv, have punctured the public apathy toward political and social issues that had seemed particularly prevalent in the Mediterranean city, with its reputation for hedonism and self-absorption.
“I’ve been living in Tel Aviv for more than 10 years. We’ve always been accused of living in a bubble and not caring about anything, and we’ve proven them wrong,” said Yiftah Nener, 31, a freelance writer who came to volunteer at the tent city. He said that events in the Arab world had served as a model for the protest, adding, “We definitely have something to learn from our neighbors.”
Erez Daskal, 29, a tent-dweller who said he had left his apartment because his rent had become unaffordable, agreed.
People in the region “are starting to wake up, and so are we. That’s a good thing,” he said. “Everything is connected.”
The protesters have overwhelming public support, according to a poll published Tuesday in the Haaretz newspaper. The survey also showed that Netanyahu’s popularity had plunged because of the housing protests, with more than half of those surveyed unhappy with his response.
At a news conference Tuesday, Netanyahu announced steps to lower housing prices and make more apartments available, including accelerating planning approval for 50,000 units. Government plans also call for slashing the price of land for housing construction, promoting the construction of low-cost rental housing and allocating land for thousands more dormitory rooms for university students.
Protest leaders rejected the steps as inadequate and vowed to continue their demonstrations, calling for broader action to address social inequalities in Israel and growing gaps between rich and poor.
Their alternative vision is on display at the Tel Aviv tent camp, where banners call for “a welfare state now,” guerrilla poetry pasted on walls denounces wealthy tycoons, and used clothing and books are free. The communal kitchen offers breakfast, lunch and dinner at no charge.
At the Jerusalem demonstration near parliament, Itai Gutler, a student leader, said that the movement included people from all sectors of Israeli society and had a larger goal than more affordable housing. “We won’t stop the fight,” he said, “until there is real social change.”

Palestinians Again Refuse to Talk to Israel
Dear Jeff,
Despite repeated requests, the Palestinians have again refused to return to the negotiating table with Israel. They remain committed to pushing for a unilateral declaration of independence to be recognized at the United Nations General Assembly in September. Top Palestinian officials have declared they have the support of more than 130 nations for the plan. They continue to refuse to recognize Israel as a Jewish state...or even as a legitimate nation, and they refuse to take any effective steps to end the ongoing campaign of violence and terror against Jewish civilians.
During talks in Jerusalem with the President of Greece this week, Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated Israel's willingness to resume negotiations, saying they could "begin tomorrow." But the Palestinians know they can get a better deal through unilateral action by the Quartet or the United Nations, and they are holding out for a state with 1967 borders and Jerusalem as its capital.
Barukh atah Adonai eloheinu melekh ha-olam, ozier Yisrael bigvurah.
Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who girds Israel with might.
Your ambassador to Jerusalem,

This Day…
July 27, 1214: French King Phillip II defeats the forces headed by Otto IV, the Holy Roman Emperor and King John of England at the Battle of Bouvines. For the Jews, this is a lose-lose proposition. King John and King Phillip were both notorious for the mistreatment of their Jewish subjects. Four years before the battle, King John had locked a group of Jews at Bristol Castle and said he would only free them if a 66,000-mark ransom were paid. King Phillip began exploiting and expelling Jews from the start of his reign in 1180. At the time of the battle, the king had actually allowed Jews back in his realm so he could take further financial advantage of them. Otto gets a pass because his relations with Jews are a “blank slate.”[1]
July 27, 1655: Jews in New Amsterdam (New York) request a place to bury their dead. "Abraham de Lucena, Salvador d'Andrade and Jacob Cohen, Jews in the name of the others, petition the Honorable Director General this day to be permitted to purchase a burying place for their nation…." Less than a year after arriving, the Jews of New Amsterdam requested permission to open a cemetery in 1655. Permission was initially denied and was finally granted a year later. Very often, the formation of a burial society and the start of a cemetery preceded the organization of the Synagogue or Temple. In fact these community organizations were often the progenitors of the house of worship which would follow as the community grew. [2]
July 27, 1753: Based on the July 27, 1753 Ohio Company record, it was a road to the mouth of the Monongahela River, which is just southwest of the proposed ―Shurtees‖ (Chartiers) Creek fort site. Chartiers Creek enters the Ohio River at Brunots Island, just northwest of the point where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers join to form the Ohio River.[3]
…‖ 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.[4]
July 27, 1768: (George Washington) Rid to the Meadow again. Mr. Val Crawford and his brother William both came this afternoon. Finished going over my corn ground in the Neck, both with the plows and hoes.[5]

Valentine Crawford to George Washington
JACOB’S CREEK, July 27, 1774.
DEAR COLONEL :—On Sunday evening, or Monday morning, William Orr, one of the most orderly men I thought I had, ran away, and has taken a horse amid other things. I have sent you an advertisement of him. I am convinced he will make for some ship in Potomac river. I have sent two men after him, and furnished them with horses and money. I have also written to my brother, Richard Stephenson, in Berkeley, and James McCormick, to escort the men I sent, and to forward this letter and advertisement to you. I should have followed him myself,[6] but all the men, except some old ones, are gone with my brother down to the Indian towns.[7]
Since they started, there have been some savages seen about the Monongahela. We hourly expect them to strike somewhere. They have killed and taken, within this ten days, thirteen people up about the forks of Cheat river, which are about twenty-five miles from me. I would have followed the man who run away myself, but I have charge of both of my brothers[8] families, until they return. Besides, if I would leave home, the people would all give up my fort, and move over the mountains. I have above two hundred people in my fort at this time, chiefly women and children. All the men have gone to the Indian towns; and ever since they set off, all their families are flown to the forts.
It seems to me that our standing our ground here depends a good deal on the success of our men who have gone against the savages. The Governor wrote very earnestly to Captain Connolly to give my brother, William Crawford, the command ‘of all the men that are gone against the Indian towns.’ They number, including the militia that came from below, seven hundred men. It was also the wish of time Governor that Connolly him self should reside at Fort Pitt. However, Major McDonald came up here, and is gone down to Wheeling, in order to take the command; but I have seen several letters from Lord Dunmore[9] both to my brother and to ConnolIy, and he has not mentioned McDonalds name in them.[10] I heard by Mr. Brown, the express, who told inc himself, that, on Thursday last, he parted with Lord Dunmore, at Winchester, and he was to proceed immediately to this neighborhood, where I hope he will regulate matters himself.[11]
I have sold all the men but two; and I believe I should have sold them, but the man who is run away had a very sore foot, which was cut with an ax, and was not long well, and John Smith was not well of the old disorder he had when he left your house. I sold Peter Miller and John Wood to one Mr. Edward Cook, for £45, the money to be applied to the use of buihding your mill. I sold Thomas McPherson and his wife and James Lowe to Major John McCulloch and Jones Ennis, for £65, payable in six months, with interest from the date of sale. To my brother, I sold Wm. Luke, Thomas White, and the boy, John Knight. He is either to pay you for them, or he loses them in case you can prosecute your designs down the river. I took John Smith and William Orr on the same terms; so that, in justice, I am accountable to you for the man, if he is never got.
I should have sold the whole of the servants agreeable to your letter, if I could have got cash or good pay; but the confusion of the times put it out of my power. Out here, we have one day peace, and the next day war. It is hard to know how to (?), even if you were here yourself. I have been confined at home ever since I came up here. I only went down to Fort Pitt a day or two, and two of my own servants and two militia men ran away. I followed them, and caught them all down at Bedford, and brought them back. While I was gone, two of your men, John Wood and Peter Miller, stole a quantity of bacon and bread, and were to have started that very night I got home; but a man of mine discovered their design. I sold them immediately, and would have sold the whole, if I could, or delivered them to Mr. Simpson, but he would not be concerned with them at any rate.
My wagon and team have been at work at your mill for some time, hauling timber, stone, and lime and sand for it. I went over to assist in hauling some of the largest of the timber, but the late alarming accounts of the Indians have stopped the workmen, and I have brought home my team. I consider it a pity that the mill was ever begun in these times. It appears to me, sometimes, that it will be a very expensive job to you before it is done. All the carpenters I brought out for you stopped work on the sixth of May, except some who were at work on your mill; these 1 pay myself. I shall observe your orders in regard to settling with the carpenters.
Pray take all pains you can in advertising for the man who ran away, to prevent his getting off by water. I am, etc.[12]
Valentine Crawford is the 6th great grandfather, Richard Stephenson is the 6th great granduncle, James McCormick is probably the compilers 5th great grand uncle in law.

A gentleman from Fort Pitt informs, that another of Col. Crawford s party had escaped from the Indians by slipping from his guards whilst they were asleep. He says they tied Col. Harrison, who was taken in the same party, and was Col. Crawford’s son-in-law, to a stake where they fired powd~r at him till he died; when they quartered him and left the quarters hanging on four poles. H~ adds that about 40 of the party had fallen into the hands of the savages.”— [16]

July 27, 1865: The left wing of the regiment arrived the next day on July 27. Their ocean steamer had been much slower in its voyage to
Baltimore. Rigby reported fair ladies waving flags greeted the soldiers’ train at every farm and hamlet. In high spirits, Rigby pictured the trip across the Alleghenies as romantic, passing through dark tunnels and lofty cliffs of deep ravines. The ride across Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois was pleasant, but Camp McClellan, Davenport, Iowa, was the most beautiful sight. [20]

July 27, 2010: On Sunday I spoke with my dad who is recovering from a double hernia operation about my visit that day to a Jewish Deli in Skokie called Kaufmann’s. Skokie is a Jewish community and I had moved there in 1981 from Iowa, long before we discovered our Jewish ancestry. I told my dad that it was a religious experience visiting Kaufmann’s because of the culture and conversations that were flowing there. Driving down Dempster Street in Skokie one can see a thriving Jewish community with Synagogue’s and store fronts. Today on this day in 1942, as it just so happens, Max Gottlieb, Helene (Kaufmann) Gottlieb and their 10 year old son, Kurt, were deported to Theresienstadt. Later they would all be sent to Auschwitz.

[7] The expedition “down to the Indian towns,” which “all the men, except some old ones,” were gone upon, was planned by Connolly, at “Fort Dunmore” (Pittsburgh), his purpose being to build a stockade fort at Wheeling creek, also once at the mouth of the Hockhocking, intending to “send parties, at the same time, against the Shawanese towns,” some of which were upon the Muskingum, others upon the Scioto—northern tributaries of the Ohio. William Crawford, in engaging in this enterprise, made his second trip down the river as captain. The first time done was the erection of a fort at the mouth of Wheeling, which was named Fort Fincastle.
[8] Colonel Andrew Lewis, having been authorized by Govermior Dunmore, on the temmtim(?) of June, to march an army down the Great Kanawba river, and erect a fort at its mouth, and then, if thought proper, to attack the hostile savages in their towns beyond the Ohio, his Lordship, a few days after, wrote Connolly, then in command amid(?) at Fort Pitt, as follows : ‘‘ You could not do better than send Captain William Crawford, with what men you can spare to join him, to cooperate with Colonel Lewis, or to strike a blow himself, if he thinks he can do it with safety. I know him to be prudent, active, amid resolute.”
[9]Lord Dunmore left Williamsburg, Virginia, July 10, 1774, for the frontiers, reaching Fredericksburg on the fifteenth, (July 15) and Winchester some days after. Here he remained some time to get in order as many men as possible for service against the savages. Smmchi(?) as were raised in the counties of Frederick, Berkeley, and Dunmore, were put under command of Adam Stepimemm as colonel. About the end of August, they marched for Pittsburgh, accompanied by his Lordship.
[10] In July, 1774, Major Angus McDonald arrived over the mountains, with a considerable force of Virginia militia, which, when embodied with those already raised in the West, amounted, accordimig to the above statement, to seven hundred men. McDonald “went down to Wheeling, in order to take command,” as there the whole force rendezvoused. A stockade fort (Fort Fincastle) was erected under the joint directions of Major McDonald and Captain Crawford.
[11] On the twenty-sixth of July, about four hundred men, having left Wheeling, arrived at the mouth of Fish creek,on the cast side of the Ohio, twenty-four miles below. Here they determined to move against time Shawanese villages upomm the Muskinmgun river, imi what is now Muskinmgum county, Ohiio. The men were led by Major McDonald. Captain Crawford remained at Fort Fincastle. The expedition proved successful. Wakatonnica, near what is now Dresden, Ohio, amid other Shiawanese towmis, were destroyed, amid considerable plunder secured. rI~hmis was the first effective blow struck by Virginia troops in Lord Dunmore’s War.

Was the World Powerless to Stop Amy Winehouse?
Posted: 7/24/11 06:23 PM ET
Saturday night, just after Shabbos ended, I found out that Amy Winehouse was dead at 27. My first reaction was to do what I, as a Jew, do whenever I hear such news. I said the Hebew prayer Baruch Dayan Emet -- Blessed is the True Judge. My next reaction was to feel angry and sick. And that's what I can't figure out.
I mean, in my work with Jewish addicts, I hear about the deaths of bright, young, talented people as often as my more conventional colleagues deal with weddings and bar-mitzvahs. It's just a cold, hard fact of dealing with addicts. Addicts die. No matter how many times I watch it happen, it always hurts. But, at the same time, it doesn't shock me anymore.
And yet, when I heard about this 27-year-old Jewish girl's death, it felt different. I felt confounded. But why? I have seen this happen before. In a grim sort of way, the only "news" to me about Amy's death is the date. After all, what really could have stopped this from happening? The only time I have ever seen recovery in a case like Amy's is by an act of God. That might sound kooky to most people, but if you've ever seen an addict come back from death's door, you'll know it doesn't happen because one day they just decide to clean up their act and get their life together. Oh sure, there are people who "get in trouble with drugs" and then get scared straight. But addicts, real addicts, don't get scared away from addiction too long. Barring miracles, real addicts play for keeps.
One of the axioms of recovery is that the addict is beyond human aide and that's why addicts need a "higher power" to live. You can call that hocus-pocus. I call it an everyday reality. There is no fact more real to me than the idea that no human power can stand up against the power of addiction. Sometimes I think of it as a giant black hole that can devour the light of a thousand suns and remain just as unfathomably black as if no sun had ever shone at all. It is an insatiable vortex that mercilessly consumes every iota of strength that human power can muster. We throw love at it. We throw loyalty at it. We scream at it. We bargain with it. We fight it. And when we just can't fight it anymore, we swear to ignore it, to never let it hurt us again, that is, until it pulls us back in.
For those who have only observed the chaotic drama of addiction from a safe distance, let me tell you that the concept of it being a "family disease" is painfully true. The insanity of active "codependence" is just as gruesome a spectacle to behold as the addict's own downward spiral. To watch a life wasted trying to stop the unstoppable is something that can just tear your heart out. We learn that all we can do is carry the message of recovery, which is that if the addict can find a Higher Power, they can live a long, happy life. And if not, well, no other power in the universe can stop this terminal disease from running its course.
And that's why I think Amy's death is hitting me hard. A 27-year-old girl just died of addiction in front of the whole world. Millions of people saw this happening. And nobody could stop it. The world couldn't stop it! For me, the futility of human power has just taken on a completely new dimension.
I'll tell you what intensifies this realization is the fact that it's 2011 and the world has become a tiny, little place. Within seconds we all know minutiae from events that take place on the other side of the planet to people we don't even know. Over the ages, plenty of famous people have died young while in the public eye. But with Amy's death, we saw the thing unravel in unflinching detail. We were all watching -- every horrible minute of it. And nobody could stop it from happening.
When a young person, or even a not-so-young person, dies from this disease, I try to tell the family, "You know that you could not have stopped this. There is nothing more you could have done or not done. This was beyond us." And when I say it, I mean it. Because I know how puny and worthless our efforts are when trying to fight this disease. I know that what is needed is a Higher Power.
And yet, I think somewhere deep down, a part of me may still have believed that the combined power of millions of human beings might theoretically be able to do what a smaller number of people cannot. Today, I have been given proof that it's just not so.
King Solomon said, "The living shall take it to heart." There is a lesson to be learned from every death. To anybody out there going through the living hell of active addiction -- whether you yourself are an addict or you are someone who loves an addict -- here is my message to you. Please know that it's not that you haven't tried everything there is to try. It's not that you're not good enough, strong enough, smart enough, determined enough. You could multiply your efforts and your will power by literally a million times, you could have the whole world on your side, and still face the same heartbreaking outcome in the end. But there is hope. Let Amy's example not be in vain. There is a Power greater than all of us. May all those who seek in truth find that Power now.

July 26: 657: Caliph Muawiya defeated Caliph Ali at the Battle of Siffin. Muawiya was the founder of the Umayyad dynasty. Earlier, he had been instrumental in the founding of a synagogue in Tripoli (in modern day Lebanon). The Umayyads would take control of Jerusalem, allow the Jews to live openly in the city and build one of their most famous mosques. This battle may be “ancient history” to westerners but for some followers of Islam it resonates in the Sunni vs. Shiite conflict we see in the 21st century.[1]
July 26, 1267: Pope Clement IV established The Inquisition. The last victim of the Inquisition was executed in Valencia, Spain in 1826, 559 years later, to the day.[2]
July 26, 1309
1309: Henry VII is recognized King of the Romans by Pope Clement V. Pope Clement V is first pope to threaten Jews with an economic boycott in an attempt to force them to stop charging Christians interest on loans.” [3]
July 26, 1534: After a papal commission had attested to atrocities committed by the Inquisition against pseudo-Christians, Pope Clement VII issued a brief to the nuncio of the Portugesse court to press for the release and absolution of 1200 imprisoned Marranos. The Pope would die before action could be taken on his order and the effort ended with his death.[4]
• July 26, 1555: In 1555 in a Papal Bull ‘Cum nimis absurdum’, Pope Paul IV writes: “It appears utterly absurd and impermissible that the Jews, whom God has condemned to eternal slavery for their guilt, should enjoy our Christian love.” He renews anti-Jewish legislation and installs a locked nightly ghetto in Rome. The Bull also forces Jewish males to wear a yellow hat, females- yellow kerchief. Owning real estate or practicing medicine on Christians is forbidden. It also limits Jewish communities to only one synagogue.[1][2][3][[5][6]
•
• 1555: Jews expelled from Pesaro.[3][7]
• July 26, 1581: Adoption of the Plakkaat van Verlatinghe (Act of Abjuration), the declaration of independence of the northern Low Countries from the Spanish king, Philip II. For Christians this is part of the battle between Protestants and Catholics; for Jews it is a conflict that will result in the independence of the Netherlands, a Protestant nation that would be a haven of tolerance for European Jews. [8]
• July 26, 1605: A Jesuit Missionary traveling though China wrote a letter describing his meetings with Ai T'ien, a Chinese Jewish teacher. Most of what we know regarding the Kaifeng Jewish community is from this correspondence. [9]

1 In July, 1774, Major Angus Mcdonald arrived over the mountains, with a considerable force of Virginia militia, which, when embodied with those already raised in the West, amounted to seven hundred men. McDonald went down to Wheeling, in order to take command, as there the whole force rendezvoused. A stockade fort (Fort Fincastle) was erected under the joint directions of Major McDonald and Captain William Crawford.
On the twenty-sixth of July, about four hundred men, having left Wheeling, arrived at the mouth of Fish Creek, on the east side of the Ohio, twenty-four miles below. Here they determined to move against the Shawanese villages upon the Muskingum River, in what is now Muskingum county, Ohio. The men were led by Major McDonald. Captain Crawford remained near Fort Fincastle. The expedition proved successful. Wakatomica, near what is now Dresden, Ohio, and other Shawanese towns, were destroyed, and considerable plunder secured. This was the first effective blow struck, by Virginia troops in Lord Dunmore's War. [14]
Captain William Crawford is the compilers 6th great grandfather.

July 26, 1777 (Franz Gotlops Regiment?)
Lieutenant Rueffer, among other comments on the voyage, noted er collision at sea in his diary entry of 26 July. “About ten oclock the wind picked up and during the afternoon developed into a violent storm. At about three o’clock we experienced a dangerous moment. Just as our ship was turning, the Lord Howe bore down full sail on our ship and caused a jarring crash that can not be described. Lord Howe completely broke off the cutwater, or the so called sock-mast. No less damaging, one of our anchors, which had a circumference of eighteen inches and was fastened on the side, broke through and ruined the entire outboard side of our cabin. The Lord had at the same time suffered even greater damage. Most of its sails were torn and a large part of his cabins were left on our ship, and furthermore, as our sailors say, our anchor did great damage and gouged a great hole in his side. Our sailors inspected our ship as soon as the two ships, with the greatest effort, had been separated, and found to our dismay that we had taken much water and we were after compelled to assign six men daily to pumping every second hour. Each hour the water rose one foot… [19]

No. 120. Translation of a Hessian Diary
(Published in the Pennsylvania Evening Post, Saturday, July 26, 1777.)
December 13th, 1776.
We marched to Trenton and joined our two regiments of Rail
and Kniphausen, in order to take up a sort of winter quarters
here, which are wretched enough. This town consists of about
one hundred houses, of which many are mean and little, and it is
easy to conceive how ill it must accommodate three regiments.
The inhabitants, like those at Princeton, are almost all fled, so
that we occupy bare walls. The Delaware, which is here ex-
tremely rapid, and in general about two ells deep, separates us
and the rebels. We are obliged to be constantly on our guard,
and do very severe duty, though our people begin to grow ragged,
and our baggage is left at New-York. Notwithstanding we have
marched across this extremely fine provmce of New-Jersey, which
may justly be called the garden of America, yet it is by no means
freed from the enemy, and we are insecure both in flank and rear.
This brigade has incontestably suffered the most of any, and we
now lie at the advanced point, that as soon as the Delaware
freezes we may march over and attack Philadelphia, which is
about thirty miles distant. My friend Sheffer and myself lodge
in a fine house belonging to a merchant, and we have empty
rooms enough. Some of the servants of the inhabitants remain
here ; last evening I gave one a box on the ear for his sauciness ;
I bid him bring me a candle, and he replied, if I wanted candles,
I should have brought them with me. I was furnished with a
candle, but nothing else. Here is no wine, except Madeira at
three shillings and sixpence sterling a bottle. On the third in-
stant Capt. Weitershausen, of the grenadiers, was shot at Bruns-
wick bridge by a rebel, who had concealed himself under the bridge. The Capt. had wrote by the last packet to his wife, de-
siring her to follow him to America. On the 13th General Lee,
with two other officers, were taken prisoners by the English light-
horse, to the great damage of the rebels.
The i6th the rebels came over the river in boats, but effected
nothing.
The 18th seventy rebels came over the water, and we were
obliged to turn out. But they only carried off a family who
went willingly, with three cows and some furniture.
The 19th one of the English lighthorse was twice badly wounded
by a troop of rebels near Maidenhead.
The 2ist a horseman was shot dead.
The 23rd Count Donop wrote to us from Bordentown, desiring
us to be on our guard, for that he was certain of being attacked.
The 24th the enemy actually attacked our grenadiers last night,
but without success, two Highlanders and a grenadier were
wounded. We have not slept one night in peace since we came
to this place. The troops have lain on their arms every night,
but they can endure it no longer. We give ourselves more trou-
ble and uneasiness than is necessary. That men who will not
fight without some defense for them, who have neither coat, shoe
nor stocking, nor scarce anything else to cover their bodies, and
who for a long time past have not received one farthing of pay,
should dare to attack regular troops in the open country, which
they could not withstand when they were posted amongst rocks
and in the strongest intrenchments, is not to be supposed. [20]
Marquis De Lafayette to George Washington:
Malvan Hill, July 26th, 1781
I had some days ago the honour to write to your excellency, and
informed you that a detachment from the British army would probably
embark at Portsmouth. The battalions of light infantry and the Queen's
rangers were certainly, and the guards, with one or two British
regiments, were likely to be, ordered upon that service. My conjectures
have proved true, and forty-nine sail have fallen down in Hampton-road,
the departure of which I expect to hear every minute. A British
officer, a prisoner, lately mentioned that Lord Cornwallis himself was
going.
It appears the enemy have some cavalry on board. The conquest of
Virginia, and the establishment of the British power in this state, not
having succeeded to the expectation of the British court, a lesser
number might be sufficient for the present purpose, and two thousand
men easily spared. So that I do not believe the present embarkation is
under that number; so far as a land force can oppose naval operations
and naval superiority, I think the position now occupied by the main
body of our small army affords the best chance to support the several
parts of Virginia.[21]
July 26, 1788: British “colonists” settle in Sydney, Australia. These “colonists” were part of an English transport of convicts shipped to New South Wales. Australia was founded as penal colony. According to at least one source there were eight Jews among the first shipment of eight hundred prisoners including “sixteen year old Esther Abrahams of London sentenced for stealing a piece of lace.” [18][22]

Catherine LeClere Belea and George Frederick LeClere are the 4th great grandparents of the compiler.
July 26, 1790
The House of Representatives votes to locate the new National Capital on a site along the Potomac River.[23]
July 26, 1797: John Cale, born April 19, 1726, died July 26, 1797; married July 25 1751 to Elizabeth Pugh, born December 13, 1730 in Frederick Co., Va., died September 14, 1796.
Daughter, Elizabeth Cale, born 1759, died 1821. Was married, 1782, to George Nicholas Spaid, born December 22, 1759, died June 15, 1833.
Their son, Michael Spaid, born October 1, 1795, in Hampshire County, Virginia, died March 26, 1872, in Buffalo, Ohio. Was married to Margaret ("Peggy") Godlove (Gottlieb), daughter of George Godlove, German lineage, born August 13, 1792, Hampshire County WV, died August 30, 1873 in Buffalo, Guernsey County, Ohio.[24] They were Lutherans and Democrats. Eight children. She had to the last the Virginia accent and kindly ways. [25]
George Gottlieb was a Hessian Soldier. So was George Nicholas Spaid, and of course, Francis Gotlop (Godlove). What they have in common was that they were Hessians, they deserted and stayed in America, and their children got married together. In the case of George Gottlieb and Francis Gotlop, they both had similar last names and I suspect that George had the Cohen Model Haplotype, as we know Francis Gotlop did. Perhaps they were among a small group of “Jewish Hessians” or “Hessians with Jewish ancestry” that came to America during the American Revolution and stayed afterwards. I do not have time to go into this today. I have created a study called “The Goodlove DNA: Coming to America. The story of Franz Gottlob, a Hessian Mercenary Soldier’s Journey to America and his Battle for Freedom”.
July 26, 1862, Abraham Lincoln
I am a patient man, always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance;
And also to give ample time for repentance.
Still, I must save this government if possible.
What I cannot do, of course I will not do;
But it may as well be understood once for all,
That I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.[26]
July 26, 1863: The youngest member of the regiment was Colonel Byam’s son, Commodore Perry Byam, who was listed on the muster rol as being twelve, As with many Civil War drummer boys, Commondore becamke a legendary figure to the regiment, and a Des Moines Tribue artivle of his death in February, 1922, reported he was the youngest drummer boy to serve in the Civil War. If Commodore was indeed sixty nine when he died in 1922, he would have been only nine years old when hi enlisted in the 24th Iowa. As Wiley pointed out, however, the claim to “Youngest Yank” would be impossible to establish. Young Byam was discharged for disability on July 26 1863, at Vicksburg, Mississippi.The date corresponded with the similar discharge of his father and older brother Charles, the regiment’s adjutant, thougnh only Colonel byam’s third son, William, enlisted at seventeen as a drummer in Company G and served untgil he was musgtered out on July 17, 1865, in Savannah, Georgia.[27]

July 26, 1903: Ethel Estelle WINCH was born on July 26, 1903 in Buck Creek, Jones County, Iowa, USA. She died on April 30, 1987 at the age of 83 in Monticello, Jones County, Iowa, USA. She was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Monticello, Jones County, Iowa, USA. Ethel had Social Security Number 484-24-9168 (Iowa, bef. 1951). Last residence: Monticello, Jones County, Iowa.[29]
Ethel Estelle Winch is the compilers grand aunt.
July 26, 1917: ReverendChalice has been solicited to take a field superintendency in the Methodist work in this direction and has the matter under consideration. His work at Buck Creek, and the wonderful success which has been accomplished with the hearty cooperation of the p[eople of that community in rehabilitating the church, has become known over the country as an example which other communities are endeavoring to get the spirit of and do for themselves. It is the example of Buck Creek and here and there other sections that have caught the inspiration that has spuirred renewed activity in rural community work, and the country church is coming back in to its own. The Leader is firmly of the belief that the rural community problem, which means the centralization of community sentiment about the rural church, is the most commanding of any in the social world today, and Buck Creek is one of the pioneer examples of what endeavor and success in that direction means. [30]
Fall 1917: By fall 1917, Buck Creek could claim to vbwe the most progressive farm community in the county and get no argument from business leaders anywhere in Delaware County. The U.S. participation in World War I had helped forge a new identity for Buck Creek and helped transform the nature of class consciousness among the farmers of the area as well. Farmers and businessmen had reorganized farm labor in such a way as to “win the war,” while also helping farmers enter the rankis of the middle class as global commondity producers.[31]
SUNDAY JULY 26, 1936
On Sunday, July 26, the Goodlove reunion was held in the city park, Central City, and 45 of the clan were present with well filled baskets. All were relatives of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Goodlove, who formerly lived in Central City. Those who enjoyed the occasion were Willis Goodlove, Earl Goodlove, Winifred and Janet; Mr. and Mrs. Covert Goodlove and children; Mr. and Mrs Don Goodlove and baby, all of Central City; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Goodlove and two children of Dewitt; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilkinson and Nellie; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bowdish and Albert; Mr. Wayne Henderson and family; Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Story and children, Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin Mundy, all of Central City; Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Armstrong, ( ) and Leona and Mrs. Hillis Armstron and baby of Cedar Rapids. It was decided to meet again next summer. Mrs. Kenneth Armstrong and Mrs. Covert Goodlove will plan the time and place.[32]
July 26, 1945
The Allies issue an ultimatum to the Japanese to surrender called the Potsdam declaration. They refuse. [33]

Was the World Powerless to Stop Amy Winehouse?
Posted: 7/24/11 06:23 PM ET
Saturday night, just after Shabbos ended, I found out that Amy Winehouse was dead at 27. My first reaction was to do what I, as a Jew, do whenever I hear such news. I said the Hebew prayer Baruch Dayan Emet -- Blessed is the True Judge. My next reaction was to feel angry and sick. And that's what I can't figure out.
I mean, in my work with Jewish addicts, I hear about the deaths of bright, young, talented people as often as my more conventional colleagues deal with weddings and bar-mitzvahs. It's just a cold, hard fact of dealing with addicts. Addicts die. No matter how many times I watch it happen, it always hurts. But, at the same time, it doesn't shock me anymore.
And yet, when I heard about this 27-year-old Jewish girl's death, it felt different. I felt confounded. But why? I have seen this happen before. In a grim sort of way, the only "news" to me about Amy's death is the date. After all, what really could have stopped this from happening? The only time I have ever seen recovery in a case like Amy's is by an act of God. That might sound kooky to most people, but if you've ever seen an addict come back from death's door, you'll know it doesn't happen because one day they just decide to clean up their act and get their life together. Oh sure, there are people who "get in trouble with drugs" and then get scared straight. But addicts, real addicts, don't get scared away from addiction too long. Barring miracles, real addicts play for keeps.
One of the axioms of recovery is that the addict is beyond human aide and that's why addicts need a "higher power" to live. You can call that hocus-pocus. I call it an everyday reality. There is no fact more real to me than the idea that no human power can stand up against the power of addiction. Sometimes I think of it as a giant black hole that can devour the light of a thousand suns and remain just as unfathomably black as if no sun had ever shone at all. It is an insatiable vortex that mercilessly consumes every iota of strength that human power can muster. We throw love at it. We throw loyalty at it. We scream at it. We bargain with it. We fight it. And when we just can't fight it anymore, we swear to ignore it, to never let it hurt us again, that is, until it pulls us back in.
For those who have only observed the chaotic drama of addiction from a safe distance, let me tell you that the concept of it being a "family disease" is painfully true. The insanity of active "codependence" is just as gruesome a spectacle to behold as the addict's own downward spiral. To watch a life wasted trying to stop the unstoppable is something that can just tear your heart out. We learn that all we can do is carry the message of recovery, which is that if the addict can find a Higher Power, they can live a long, happy life. And if not, well, no other power in the universe can stop this terminal disease from running its course.
And that's why I think Amy's death is hitting me hard. A 27-year-old girl just died of addiction in front of the whole world. Millions of people saw this happening. And nobody could stop it. The world couldn't stop it! For me, the futility of human power has just taken on a completely new dimension.
I'll tell you what intensifies this realization is the fact that it's 2011 and the world has become a tiny, little place. Within seconds we all know minutiae from events that take place on the other side of the planet to people we don't even know. Over the ages, plenty of famous people have died young while in the public eye. But with Amy's death, we saw the thing unravel in unflinching detail. We were all watching -- every horrible minute of it. And nobody could stop it from happening.
When a young person, or even a not-so-young person, dies from this disease, I try to tell the family, "You know that you could not have stopped this. There is nothing more you could have done or not done. This was beyond us." And when I say it, I mean it. Because I know how puny and worthless our efforts are when trying to fight this disease. I know that what is needed is a Higher Power.
And yet, I think somewhere deep down, a part of me may still have believed that the combined power of millions of human beings might theoretically be able to do what a smaller number of people cannot. Today, I have been given proof that it's just not so.
King Solomon said, "The living shall take it to heart." There is a lesson to be learned from every death. To anybody out there going through the living hell of active addiction -- whether you yourself are an addict or you are someone who loves an addict -- here is my message to you. Please know that it's not that you haven't tried everything there is to try. It's not that you're not good enough, strong enough, smart enough, determined enough. You could multiply your efforts and your will power by literally a million times, you could have the whole world on your side, and still face the same heartbreaking outcome in the end. But there is hope. Let Amy's example not be in vain. There is a Power greater than all of us. May all those who seek in truth find that Power now.

July 26: 657: Caliph Muawiya defeated Caliph Ali at the Battle of Siffin. Muawiya was the founder of the Umayyad dynasty. Earlier, he had been instrumental in the founding of a synagogue in Tripoli (in modern day Lebanon). The Umayyads would take control of Jerusalem, allow the Jews to live openly in the city and build one of their most famous mosques. This battle may be “ancient history” to westerners but for some followers of Islam it resonates in the Sunni vs. Shiite conflict we see in the 21st century.[1]
July 26, 1267: Pope Clement IV established The Inquisition. The last victim of the Inquisition was executed in Valencia, Spain in 1826, 559 years later, to the day.[2]
July 26, 1309
1309: Henry VII is recognized King of the Romans by Pope Clement V. Pope Clement V is first pope to threaten Jews with an economic boycott in an attempt to force them to stop charging Christians interest on loans.” [3]
July 26, 1534: After a papal commission had attested to atrocities committed by the Inquisition against pseudo-Christians, Pope Clement VII issued a brief to the nuncio of the Portugesse court to press for the release and absolution of 1200 imprisoned Marranos. The Pope would die before action could be taken on his order and the effort ended with his death.[4]
• July 26, 1555: In 1555 in a Papal Bull ‘Cum nimis absurdum’, Pope Paul IV writes: “It appears utterly absurd and impermissible that the Jews, whom God has condemned to eternal slavery for their guilt, should enjoy our Christian love.” He renews anti-Jewish legislation and installs a locked nightly ghetto in Rome. The Bull also forces Jewish males to wear a yellow hat, females- yellow kerchief. Owning real estate or practicing medicine on Christians is forbidden. It also limits Jewish communities to only one synagogue.[1][2][3][[5][6]
•
• 1555: Jews expelled from Pesaro.[3][7]
• July 26, 1581: Adoption of the Plakkaat van Verlatinghe (Act of Abjuration), the declaration of independence of the northern Low Countries from the Spanish king, Philip II. For Christians this is part of the battle between Protestants and Catholics; for Jews it is a conflict that will result in the independence of the Netherlands, a Protestant nation that would be a haven of tolerance for European Jews. [8]
• July 26, 1605: A Jesuit Missionary traveling though China wrote a letter describing his meetings with Ai T'ien, a Chinese Jewish teacher. Most of what we know regarding the Kaifeng Jewish community is from this correspondence. [9]

1 In July, 1774, Major Angus Mcdonald arrived over the mountains, with a considerable force of Virginia militia, which, when embodied with those already raised in the West, amounted to seven hundred men. McDonald went down to Wheeling, in order to take command, as there the whole force rendezvoused. A stockade fort (Fort Fincastle) was erected under the joint directions of Major McDonald and Captain William Crawford.
On the twenty-sixth of July, about four hundred men, having left Wheeling, arrived at the mouth of Fish Creek, on the east side of the Ohio, twenty-four miles below. Here they determined to move against the Shawanese villages upon the Muskingum River, in what is now Muskingum county, Ohio. The men were led by Major McDonald. Captain Crawford remained near Fort Fincastle. The expedition proved successful. Wakatomica, near what is now Dresden, Ohio, and other Shawanese towns, were destroyed, and considerable plunder secured. This was the first effective blow struck, by Virginia troops in Lord Dunmore's War. [14]
Captain William Crawford is the compilers 6th great grandfather.

July 26, 1777 (Franz Gotlops Regiment?)
Lieutenant Rueffer, among other comments on the voyage, noted er collision at sea in his diary entry of 26 July. “About ten oclock the wind picked up and during the afternoon developed into a violent storm. At about three o’clock we experienced a dangerous moment. Just as our ship was turning, the Lord Howe bore down full sail on our ship and caused a jarring crash that can not be described. Lord Howe completely broke off the cutwater, or the so called sock-mast. No less damaging, one of our anchors, which had a circumference of eighteen inches and was fastened on the side, broke through and ruined the entire outboard side of our cabin. The Lord had at the same time suffered even greater damage. Most of its sails were torn and a large part of his cabins were left on our ship, and furthermore, as our sailors say, our anchor did great damage and gouged a great hole in his side. Our sailors inspected our ship as soon as the two ships, with the greatest effort, had been separated, and found to our dismay that we had taken much water and we were after compelled to assign six men daily to pumping every second hour. Each hour the water rose one foot… [19]
July 26, 1777:
No. 120. Translation of a Hessian Diary
(Published in the Pennsylvania Evening Post, Saturday, July 26, 1777.)
December 13th, 1776.
We marched to Trenton and joined our two regiments of Rail
and Kniphausen, in order to take up a sort of winter quarters
here, which are wretched enough. This town consists of about
one hundred houses, of which many are mean and little, and it is
easy to conceive how ill it must accommodate three regiments.
The inhabitants, like those at Princeton, are almost all fled, so
that we occupy bare walls. The Delaware, which is here ex-
tremely rapid, and in general about two ells deep, separates us
and the rebels. We are obliged to be constantly on our guard,
and do very severe duty, though our people begin to grow ragged,
and our baggage is left at New-York. Notwithstanding we have
marched across this extremely fine provmce of New-Jersey, which
may justly be called the garden of America, yet it is by no means
freed from the enemy, and we are insecure both in flank and rear.
This brigade has incontestably suffered the most of any, and we
now lie at the advanced point, that as soon as the Delaware
freezes we may march over and attack Philadelphia, which is
about thirty miles distant. My friend Sheffer and myself lodge
in a fine house belonging to a merchant, and we have empty
rooms enough. Some of the servants of the inhabitants remain
here ; last evening I gave one a box on the ear for his sauciness ;
I bid him bring me a candle, and he replied, if I wanted candles,
I should have brought them with me. I was furnished with a
candle, but nothing else. Here is no wine, except Madeira at
three shillings and sixpence sterling a bottle. On the third in-
stant Capt. Weitershausen, of the grenadiers, was shot at Bruns-
wick bridge by a rebel, who had concealed himself under the bridge. The Capt. had wrote by the last packet to his wife, de-
siring her to follow him to America. On the 13th General Lee,
with two other officers, were taken prisoners by the English light-
horse, to the great damage of the rebels.
The i6th the rebels came over the river in boats, but effected
nothing.
The 18th seventy rebels came over the water, and we were
obliged to turn out. But they only carried off a family who
went willingly, with three cows and some furniture.
The 19th one of the English lighthorse was twice badly wounded
by a troop of rebels near Maidenhead.
The 2ist a horseman was shot dead.
The 23rd Count Donop wrote to us from Bordentown, desiring
us to be on our guard, for that he was certain of being attacked.
The 24th the enemy actually attacked our grenadiers last night,
but without success, two Highlanders and a grenadier were
wounded. We have not slept one night in peace since we came
to this place. The troops have lain on their arms every night,
but they can endure it no longer. We give ourselves more trou-
ble and uneasiness than is necessary. That men who will not
fight without some defense for them, who have neither coat, shoe
nor stocking, nor scarce anything else to cover their bodies, and
who for a long time past have not received one farthing of pay,
should dare to attack regular troops in the open country, which
they could not withstand when they were posted amongst rocks
and in the strongest intrenchments, is not to be supposed. [20]
Marquis De Lafayette to George Washington:
Malvan Hill, July 26th, 1781
I had some days ago the honour to write to your excellency, and
informed you that a detachment from the British army would probably
embark at Portsmouth. The battalions of light infantry and the Queen's
rangers were certainly, and the guards, with one or two British
regiments, were likely to be, ordered upon that service. My conjectures
have proved true, and forty-nine sail have fallen down in Hampton-road,
the departure of which I expect to hear every minute. A British
officer, a prisoner, lately mentioned that Lord Cornwallis himself was
going.
It appears the enemy have some cavalry on board. The conquest of
Virginia, and the establishment of the British power in this state, not
having succeeded to the expectation of the British court, a lesser
number might be sufficient for the present purpose, and two thousand
men easily spared. So that I do not believe the present embarkation is
under that number; so far as a land force can oppose naval operations
and naval superiority, I think the position now occupied by the main
body of our small army affords the best chance to support the several
parts of Virginia.[21]
July 26, 1788: British “colonists” settle in Sydney, Australia. These “colonists” were part of an English transport of convicts shipped to New South Wales. Australia was founded as penal colony. According to at least one source there were eight Jews among the first shipment of eight hundred prisoners including “sixteen year old Esther Abrahams of London sentenced for stealing a piece of lace.” [18][22]

Catherine LeClere Belea and George Frederick LeClere are the 4th great grandparents of the compiler.
July 26, 1790
The House of Representatives votes to locate the new National Capital on a site along the Potomac River.[23]
July 26, 1797: John Cale, born April 19, 1726, died July 26, 1797; married July 25 1751 to Elizabeth Pugh, born December 13, 1730 in Frederick Co., Va., died September 14, 1796.
Daughter, Elizabeth Cale, born 1759, died 1821. Was married, 1782, to George Nicholas Spaid, born December 22, 1759, died June 15, 1833.
Their son, Michael Spaid, born October 1, 1795, in Hampshire County, Virginia, died March 26, 1872, in Buffalo, Ohio. Was married to Margaret ("Peggy") Godlove (Gottlieb), daughter of George Godlove, German lineage, born August 13, 1792, Hampshire County WV, died August 30, 1873 in Buffalo, Guernsey County, Ohio.[24] They were Lutherans and Democrats. Eight children. She had to the last the Virginia accent and kindly ways. [25]
George Gottlieb was a Hessian Soldier. So was George Nicholas Spaid, and of course, Francis Gotlop (Godlove). What they have in common was that they were Hessians, they deserted and stayed in America, and their children got married together. In the case of George Gottlieb and Francis Gotlop, they both had similar last names and I suspect that George had the Cohen Model Haplotype, as we know Francis Gotlop did. Perhaps they were among a small group of “Jewish Hessians” or “Hessians with Jewish ancestry” that came to America during the American Revolution and stayed afterwards. I do not have time to go into this today. I have created a study called “The Goodlove DNA: Coming to America. The story of Franz Gottlob, a Hessian Mercenary Soldier’s Journey to America and his Battle for Freedom”.
July 26, 1862, Abraham Lincoln
I am a patient man, always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance;
And also to give ample time for repentance.
Still, I must save this government if possible.
What I cannot do, of course I will not do;
But it may as well be understood once for all,
That I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.[26]
July 26, 1863: The youngest member of the regiment was Colonel Byam’s son, Commodore Perry Byam, who was listed on the muster rol as being twelve, As with many Civil War drummer boys, Commondore becamke a legendary figure to the regiment, and a Des Moines Tribue artivle of his death in February, 1922, reported he was the youngest drummer boy to serve in the Civil War. If Commodore was indeed sixty nine when he died in 1922, he would have been only nine years old when hi enlisted in the 24th Iowa. As Wiley pointed out, however, the claim to “Youngest Yank” would be impossible to establish. Young Byam was discharged for disability on July 26 1863, at Vicksburg, Mississippi.The date corresponded with the similar discharge of his father and older brother Charles, the regiment’s adjutant, thougnh only Colonel byam’s third son, William, enlisted at seventeen as a drummer in Company G and served untgil he was musgtered out on July 17, 1865, in Savannah, Georgia.[27]

July 26, 1903: Ethel Estelle WINCH was born on July 26, 1903 in Buck Creek, Jones County, Iowa, USA. She died on April 30, 1987 at the age of 83 in Monticello, Jones County, Iowa, USA. She was buried in Oakwood Cemetery, Monticello, Jones County, Iowa, USA. Ethel had Social Security Number 484-24-9168 (Iowa, bef. 1951). Last residence: Monticello, Jones County, Iowa.[29]
Ethel Estelle Winch is the compilers grand aunt.
July 26, 1917: ReverendChalice has been solicited to take a field superintendency in the Methodist work in this direction and has the matter under consideration. His work at Buck Creek, and the wonderful success which has been accomplished with the hearty cooperation of the p[eople of that community in rehabilitating the church, has become known over the country as an example which other communities are endeavoring to get the spirit of and do for themselves. It is the example of Buck Creek and here and there other sections that have caught the inspiration that has spuirred renewed activity in rural community work, and the country church is coming back in to its own. The Leader is firmly of the belief that the rural community problem, which means the centralization of community sentiment about the rural church, is the most commanding of any in the social world today, and Buck Creek is one of the pioneer examples of what endeavor and success in that direction means. [30]
Fall 1917: By fall 1917, Buck Creek could claim to vbwe the most progressive farm community in the county and get no argument from business leaders anywhere in Delaware County. The U.S. participation in World War I had helped forge a new identity for Buck Creek and helped transform the nature of class consciousness among the farmers of the area as well. Farmers and businessmen had reorganized farm labor in such a way as to “win the war,” while also helping farmers enter the rankis of the middle class as global commondity producers.[31]
SUNDAY JULY 26, 1936
On Sunday, July 26, the Goodlove reunion was held in the city park, Central City, and 45 of the clan were present with well filled baskets. All were relatives of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Goodlove, who formerly lived in Central City. Those who enjoyed the occasion were Willis Goodlove, Earl Goodlove, Winifred and Janet; Mr. and Mrs. Covert Goodlove and children; Mr. and Mrs Don Goodlove and baby, all of Central City; Mr. and Mrs. Paul Goodlove and two children of Dewitt; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wilkinson and Nellie; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bowdish and Albert; Mr. Wayne Henderson and family; Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Story and children, Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin Mundy, all of Central City; Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Armstrong, ( ) and Leona and Mrs. Hillis Armstron and baby of Cedar Rapids. It was decided to meet again next summer. Mrs. Kenneth Armstrong and Mrs. Covert Goodlove will plan the time and place.[32]
July 26, 1945
The Allies issue an ultimatum to the Japanese to surrender called the Potsdam declaration. They refuse. [33]

July 25, 306
306: Constantine I was proclaimed Roman emperor by his troops. Under the rule of Constantine, Christianity would in effect become the official religion the Roman Empire. This was the beginning of a downward spiral in the life of European Jewry. No century was more decisive for Jewish-Christian relations than the fourth century. The Edict of Milan issued by Emperor Constantine in 313 CE granted freedom of worship to all religious groups, including Jews. But Christianity quickly was to become the chief beneficiary of this decree, while Jewish fortunes were to sink to a new low. In 323 CE Christianity was granted a special position within the empire. Judaism theoretically continued as a legal religion, but it was frequently abused by Christian preachers and people without any action being taken by the imperial government. By the time Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity on his deathbed in 329, the imperial government had already begun to institute restrictive measures against Jewish privileges. By the end of the fourth century the civil status of Jews was in serious danger and their image had greatly deteriorated. The Jew was now seen as a semi-satanic figure, cursed by God, and specially set apart by the civil government. [1]
306
The Synod of Elvira bans intermarriage between Christians and Jews. Other social intercourses, such as eating together, are also forbidden.[2]
312
The defining event in the diverging fortunes of Judaism and Christianity came in the early fourth century. Constantine, a thirty-two-year-old provincial Roman leader in the western half of the empire, defeated his regional rival Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge, near Rome, in 312. According to Christian tradition, the letters XP (“Chi-Rho,” the first two letters of “Christ”) in Greek intertwined with a cross appeared before him in the sky. Inspired by the vision, he defeated his formidable rival. Supposedly, in response to the miracle, Constantine issued what became known as the Edict of Milan. Christians in the western sections of the empire would no longer be tortured of killed. [3]
313: Constantine legalizes Christianity. Joined by the eastern tetrarch Licinius, in 313 issued the Edict of Milan, which declared that the Roman Empire would not discriminate against any religion and would cease persecution of Christians. [4]
313: Jerusalem, which is already drawing Christian pilgrims, becomes part of Bysantium (the Easter Roman Empire) for 300 years.[5]
July 25, 425: A decree of the emperors Theodosius II and Valentinian III, addressed to Amatius, prefect of Gaul prohibited Jews and pagans from practising law and from holding public offices ("militandi"), in order that Christians should not be in subjection to them, and thus be incited to change their faith.[6]
431: With regard to religion, we may note that, in A.D. 431, Palladius was sent from Rome as Primus Episcopus to the “Scotos in Christum credentes;” in A.D. 432, Patrick went to Ireland; in A. D. the British Bishop Ninian converted the Southern Picts; in A.D. 565, the Irish Presbyter, Columbus, converted the Northern Picts, and theirs was called the Culdee Church. [7]
The Emperors tried to preserv uniformity by summoning Eecumenical Councils, Councils to which all the bishops of Christendom werer invited, in the hope that the Holy Ghost would descend on them as it had on the disciples at Pentecost. The Councils would descend on them as it had on the disciples at Pentecost. The Councils achieved unanbimity only because dissident bhishops either refused to vfote or were prevented from voting. After each Council a section of Christendom broke away from the main body. The Arian heretics who seceded in the fourth century fated out in the East. But after the Council of Ephesus in 431 there was a separated Nestorian Church, which soon found shich its missionaries were to travel inbto Inbdia and into Tartary.[8]

July 25 to 27, 1753: The map shows a proposed Ohio Company fort at Shurtee‘s (Chartiers) Creek that was authorized for construction at the July 25 to 27, 1753 Stratford, Westmoreland County meeting of the Ohio Company. According to Darlington, the meeting records state: Resolved that it is absolutely necessary that the Company should immediately erect a
Fort for the security and protection of their Settlement on a hill just below Shurtees
Creek upon the south east side of the river Ohio; that the walls of the said Fort shall be
twelve feet high, to be built of sawed or hewen logs, and to enclose a piece of ground
ninety feet square, besides the four Bastions at the corners of sixteen feet square each,
with houses in the middle for stores, Magazines &c. according to a plan entered in the
Company‘s Books. That Col. Cresap, Capt. Trent, and Mr Gist, be appointed and
authorized on behalf of the Company to agree with labourers, Carpenters and other
workmen, to build and complete the same as soon as possible and employ hunters to
supply them with Provisions, and agree with some honest industrious man to overlook the
workmen and labourers as Overseer, and that they be supplied with flour, salt and all
other necessaries at the Companys expence. That all the Land upon the hill on which the
said Fort is to be built be appropriated to the use of the said Fort, and that two hundred
acres of land exclusive of streets be layed off for a town convenient and adjoining to the
said Fort lands, in squares of two acres each, every square to be divided into four lots so
that every Lot may front two streets, if the ground will so admit, and that all the streets be
of convenient width, that twenty of the best and most convenient squares be reserved and
set apart for the Company‘s own use, and one square to build a School on for the
education of Indian children and such other uses as the Company shall think proper and
that all the rest of the lots be disposed of.
The presence of the fort on the map seems to indicate that the map was made or altered on or
after July 25, 1753. When examined closely [11] words on the map say ―Fort erecting by the Comp.‖[12]

The advertisement spoken of by Valentine Crawford was in these words:
“Five POUNDS REWARD.
Run away from the subscriber, living on Jacob’s creek, near Stewart’s crossing, in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, on Sunday night, the 24th instant, a convict servant man, named William Orr, the property of Col. George Washington, he is a well-made man, about five feet ten inches high, and about twenty-four years of age. He was born in Scotland, and speaks that dialect pretty much. He is of a red complexion, and very full-faced, with short, sandy colored hair, amid very remarkable thumbs, they being both crooked. He had on, and took with him, an old felt hat, bound with black binding; one white cotton coat and jacket, with black horn buttons; one old brown jacket; one pair of snuff-colored breeches; one pair of trowzers, made in sailors fashion—and they are made of sail duck, and have not been washed; a pair of red leggins, and shoes tied with strings; two Osnaberg shirts, and one Holland shirt marked V. C., which he stole, and a blanket.
He stole, likewise, a black horse, about fourteen hands high, branded on time near shoulder and buttock ‘R. W.,’ and shod before. He had neither bridle or saddle that we knew of. I expect he will make to some seaport town, as he has been much used to the seas. Whoever takes up said servant. and secures him, so that he and horse may he had again, shall receive the above reward, or three pounds for the man alone; and reasonable charges, if brought home, paid by me.

July 25, 1775 --Tuesday
As everyone had anticipated—the Indians as well as the Americans—no one paid much attention to the accords reached between Lord Dunmore and the Indians at Camp Charlotte. As soon as the weather permitted this past spring, a new flood of land-claimers, surveyors, settlers and adventurers poured into the Ohio Valley.
The upper Ohio Valley was experiencing the greatest influx of settlers. George Washington, already holding some of the most extensive land claims in that area, only ten days ago had received from Lord Dunmore a patent for another 3,000 acres of land at the mouth of Beaver River, but he suspected he wouldn’t be doing anything much in that area for quite a while, as the war was keeping him very busy. Wheeling, though still not laid out as such, could now almost be described as a town on its own, and settlements such as Catfish Camp, Baker’s Bottom, McMechen’s Settlement and others were also growing rapidly. Some that had been temporarily abandoned during the war, such as McMechen’s, had been burned by the Indians and had to be rebuilt. The Tomlinsons, having returned to their Grave Creek Flats settlement after briefly taking refuge at Redstone, now found many other settlers coming in to sink roots near them, Maj. William Crawford among that number. So much had the population of the area increased over the past months—by several thousand, in fact—that a second Augusta County court was established by Virginia at pittsburgh, and court sessions would now be held alternately at Staunton and Fort Pitt…
…In Williamsburg, Dunmore finally realized the growing momentum of the revolutionaries was more than he could withstand; he abdicated his office and then had the British man-of-war H.M.S. Fowey transport him to Norfolk, Virginia’s largest town and most important port. Upon his arrival he burned the entire town.
As soon as it became known that Lord Dunmore had fled, the Assembly reformed, declared the office of governor vacant and gave themselves, for the first time, absolute home rule. The Virginians, furious at Dunmore’s actions, petitioned that the name of Dunmore County be abolished. This was done immediately, and the name was changed to Shenandoah County. The Virginia Convention then raised nine regiments, called the Virginia Line, and sent two companies of 100 men each to garrison Fort Pitt and a company of 25 men to Fort Fincastle at Wheeling. Now a colonel, William Crawford was given command of the Thirteenth Regiment, and his friend, John Knight, enlisted in that unit. Knight, having by this time worked off his indenture to Crawford, was now calling himself Dr. John Knight because he had studied medicine at the University of Aberdeen before coming to America as a stowaway.[16]
Fall, 1775
The first considerable body of men recruited in the Monongahela country for the Revolutionary army was a battalion, afterwards designated as the Seventh Virginia. It was raised in the fall of 1775, chiefly thrugh the efforts of William Crawford, whose headquarters for the recruiting of it were at his home at Stewart’s Crossings ion the Youghiogheny, then in the county of Westmoreland, or rather, as the Virginia partisans claimed, in the western district of Augusta county, Va. After raising this regiment, Crawford did not immediately secure a colonelcy, but was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the Fifth Virginia in January 1776 and in the latter part f the same year became colonel of the Seventh. Whe regiment which he raised was made up principally of men from the region now embraced in the counties of Westmoreland and Fayette, but no rolls or lists of their names can be given. [17]

On his arrival at Fort Pitt, Gen. Mcintosh relieved Gen. Hand and, on the recommendation of George Washington, appointed militia Maj. William Crawford as his second in command with the brevet rank of colonel. Mcintosh had decided that a more advanced post than Fort Pitt had to be built as a launching point for the punitive expedition against the Sandusky towns. To that end he dispatched a substantial force of soldiers, laborers and engineers—men of the Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Col. Daniel Brodhead and the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. John Gibson, plus ?o regiments of militia—to erect a sturdy fort farther down the Ohio. That fort was flow being constructed on the downriver side of the mouth of Beaver River, on the right bank of the Ohio 25 miles below Fort Pitt, and even though unfinished, it was already being called Fort McIntosh.[19]
July 25, 1783: A transport of recruits stayed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. On January 21, 1783 the regiment received new flags. The Waldeckers remained in Flatbush until the summer of 1783 and the return voyage from New York began on 25 July 1783 (July 25). [20]
JULY 25, 1783
From the 1st of this month until the evening of the 26th 1 was in the provinces of Jersey and Pennsylvania, whither I had been sent in order to look into the situation of the German soldiers who are employed here and there. For this purpose, I had been furnished with a letter from General Carleton to the American War President, General Lincoln, 30[21] and also with other instructions. .:
The mission was undertaken at the request of his Excellency General von Lossberg, who had sent several memoranda to General Carleton to induce him to collect the soldiers bought out of captivity. I am unable to say why General Carleton never answered in writing, but it finally pleased him to have his adjutant. Major von Wilmowsky, tell his Excellency General von Lossberg to order me to proceed to Philadelphia with a letter to General Lincoln. .
Although such requests are ordinarily received with eagerness, I knew well enough that my efforts, the expense of the trip, and, above all, the time consumed would be in vain. If anything satisfactory is to be accomplished in this strange situation among even stranger people, it must be done by the commanding general of the army and no one else. The following report of my partly finished business will prove that I was right.
On the 1st of the month I was unable to proceed further than Elizabethtown, but I arrived in Philadelphia late in the evening the following day. According to my instructions, I stopped an hour at Princeton, where Congress has been established since the 24th of last month, June. President Boudinot had fled there from Philadelphia with all the members of Congress because they could not fulfill their promise to pay the mutinous Pennsylvania Continental brigade, which was ready to carry out its serious threats against this great American council.
President Boudinot gave me permission to continue my journey through Pennsylvania and directed me to Governor Dickinson in Philadelphia. I learned at the same time that General Lincoln had gone to Richmond in Virginia and was expected back on 8th of this month His adjutant, Major Jackson, who is Secretary of the War Council (31) and conducted the General’s business during his absence, read General Carleton’s letter and immediately ruled as follows (1) The War Council has no jurisdiction over the Hessian, Brunswick, and Hesse-Hanau soldiers who have been sold out of imprisonment to the inhabitants (2) Whether the soldiers are released or not depends entirely upon the owners of these men and upon the desires and intentions of the foreign soldiers (3) No German soldiers may return to the British army unless the owners are reimbursed in cash for their outlay.
The President confirmed these decisions, adding, however, that since the British Generals Howe and Clinton allowed American prisoners to languish in prisons and then authorized provincial officers to recruit among these wretched people as they saw fit, since the several admirals on the New York station have treated many seamen cruelly and impressed them, and since, moreover, no exchange of prisoners could be effected in spite of five meetings with the British commissioners, the War Council had been authorized to treat the British auxiliaries in the same manner.
31 Major William Jackson, Assistant Secretary of War
To this he added that if his Excellency General von Lossberg. wanted to get possession of these prisoners, the Americans would be so kind as to permit it in return for a cash payment of £30 Pennsylvania currency per man, conditional on an investigation which would have to be made to determine whether these German soldiers really desired to return, for America held open her arms to people of all nations in welcome and protection.
The French ambassador M. de la Luzerne was present during this conversation. He had just arrived in Princeton from his country estate situated on the Schuylkill, three miles from Philadelphia, and conferred in the college building with the President before the assembled Congress without any ceremony whatever. He heard my answer to the President, namely, that whatever the British generals and admirals had done could not possibly serve as an example, for at that time the Americans under arms were looked upon only as disobedient subjects, and the prisoners, in view of this, were treated well enough. This, however, made no impression, nor did it affect the friendly treatment I enjoyed everywhere and have every reason to praise. .
Governor Dickinson in Philadelphia had no objections to my riding out to Lancaster and Reading. I therefore went from Philadelphia to Darby, Kennett Square, Downingtown, Pequea, Bethlehem, and Lancaster In these places and on the farms I found one hundred and sixty-two Brunswickers and thirteen Hasse-Hanauers, most of them married and settled on their own land Thirty-nine Brunswickers showed a desire to return, but none of the Hesse-Hanauers I visited these places between the 6th and 8th
On the 10th I started out from Philadelphia for Reading The prescribed route was the following from Philadelphia to Germantown, Swedes Ford, Potts Grove, and Reading I found eighty-four men, all Brunswickers save eight from Hesse-Hanau On the way back I rode by way of the Delaware Mills in Bucks County, where I found another twenty-three Brunswmckers and also two deserters from the Regiment von Knyphausen All these men demanded their freedom with the exception of six Hanauers and the two Hessian deserters.
In Philadelphia I discovered fifty-two Hessian deserters but could do no more than let them read a copy of the general pardon, and even in doing this I had to be very cautious. The greater part of them had been talked into desertion and now wish to be allowed to return. Of the Brunswickers at the Delaware Mills, thirteen men had escaped on the 29th of June, but the provincial Colonel Bird recaptured them between Newark and Elizabethtown. (32)[22]
I next went to Mount Hope in Jersey to see the thirty-five men of von Knyphausen’s Regiment who are working in the iron works. I found only twenty-seven men. Some of the missing eight had escaped to New York, but two had worked themselves free and settled In Philadelphia.
I returned to New York with the owner of the iron works on the 16th of this month. His Excellency General von Lossberg sent a letter with my report to General Carleton, in which he asked permission to enter into negotiations with this man, whose name Is Faesh, (33)[23] with a view of paying him as much in cash for these twenty-seven men as they still owe in labor until the expiration of their third year, for only in this way can we get possession of these twenty-seven men again. This was done on the 18th of this month, and today, as I conclude this humble letter, he has not yet received a reply in spite of the fact that I mentioned it to him again on the 22nd.
Meanwhile, in order to lose no time, his Excellency General von Lossberger asked the aid Faesh to prepare an itemized statement, showing how much each of the twenty-Seven men will have received in cash by the end of this month and how much each has still coming to him, and also how large a sum they still have to work off between the 1st of August and the end of the three year period.
His answer is now expected; it will certainly arrive before the one due from General Carleton. His Excellency General you Lossberg will then buy these men’s freedom, for the most part with his own resources, that is, if Mr. Faesh was serious in his offer and the American War Council does not retract its word.
The incidental information which I gathered in Philadelphia and in most of the other places seemed to be pleasing to English headquarters, and I was asked to submit reports on the following topics to General Carleton:
A sergeant major had led the Pennsylvania brigade in Philadelphia in front of the City Hall. In this rebellious mob were six officers in the uniforms of common soldiers. The President was about to escape but was captured and taken with all firmness before the assembled Congress. The officers were later arrested.
In spite of Congress’s promise to pay the Pennsylvanians in three installments nothing has been paid them To avoid its obligations, Congress established itself in Princeton and asked General Washington for a brigade for protection The brigade of Massachusetts Bay under Major General Howe and Brigadier Paterson[24] left the army at Newburg and marched, fifteen hundred strong, through Morristown, Princeton, Trenton, Bristol, and Frankford and encamped on the 7th of this month on the Germantown road, three and a half miles from Philadelphia.
Governor Dickinson, in accordance with the decision of the Pennsylvania Council, was to forbid General Howe to enter Pennsylvania and order him to stop at Trenton, but this was left undone. This brigade had six pieces of artillery and every night posted pickets half an hour’s march in front in the direction of the city. An indescribable bitterness has since prevailed in Philadelphia and in the province Congress and its behavior is not spared in public opinion, faith in General Washington has diminished considerably, the party of former Governor Reed is active in all the Pennsylvania counties, and a general revolt is feared The French embassy and the Bank fear for their safety In this tumult I left Philadelphia.
There are some forty Dutch merchantmen there, nine ships from Ostend flying the imperial flags, five Spanish ships which, however, had been rented by the Swedes, four Danish ships from St Croix, three from Hamburg, two from Bremen, one from Emden, and, lastly, eight English and seven Irish ships. These last are permitted to fly their country’s flag, while the British flags must be struck at Gloucester Point in the Delaware, because the American flag has been insulted in New York.
All European merchandise finds a ready sale for hard cash, for no domestic products are to be found in Philadelphia with the possible exception of flour and lumber, which, however, only the Spanish and Dutch can accept When I was in Philadelphia, there were six Portuguese ships at anchor. Two of these departed with cash, using rocks for ballast. They took American seamen to complete their crews. This was also done by the Dutch who, however, set out for the West Indies with cargoes of flour, which they will trade there for rice, tobacco, and indigo.
The Virginians, always jealous of the Pennsy1vanians, are equally void of all honesty in trade and cheat their neighbors almost as much as the Marylanders cheat the Carolinians. They consider the Chesapeake theirs and have complete confidence in the French. On the 29th of May this year the Portuguese agent Francisco (35)[25] received orders to buy up all the iron ships cannon of four, nine, and eighteen pounds caliber.
Running into the Delaware is made more difficult each year by the chevaux-de-frise, which cannot be raised and now form an island in the middle of the river, opposite Gloucester Point and extending toward the city Thus the river bed, ordinarily very wide, has been made considerably narrower and shallower.
The wares and merchandise that find a ready sale, particularly with the Pennsylvania farmers, are scythes sickles, cutting knives, unworked steel, grindstones, linen of all sorts, and salt. The Irish make a great profit selling linen, and the English cannot supply enough cloth.
When American products ordered for Europe are ready for shipment, the Dutch ships take them at half rates, whereas American ships cannot carry them even at full rates. This is quite a blow. Besides, it costs two-thirds more to produce such merchandise as nails, iron wares, shoes, leather, hats, and silk goods in America than it costs to import them from Europe. No one thinks of building any warships.
The immense sums owed to France cause everyone worry, for there is no money to pay back the borrowed capital. Consequently, Congress gladly condones the confiscation of property in the provinces, hoping to derive some benefit from it. In general however, this policy is very harmful, since the provinces are thereby depopulated, the people of the northern provinces moving to Nova Scotia and those of the southern provinces migrating to the Ohio. To sum up in a few words, everything has gone to ruin, and experiencing the evil consequences thereof will be the lot of the North American people for a long time.
I saw General Gates in Philadelphia. He had just returned from a trip to the region above Albany, whither he has been sent to exhort the Indians to be peaceful. He found the old Indians obliging, but the young chieftains ready for war and cruel expeditions. His report contains the important statement that these Indians are still given presents and provided with munitions from Canada.
Now that all the small auxiliary corps, except two Anspach regiments, have already departed and these two regiments are ready to embark, some troops will encamp at McGown’s Pass on this island next week. Von Knyphausen’s and von Bunau’s Regiments will then move in front of the city, while the Vacant, the Erb Prinz, Bose’s, von Knoblauch’s, and von Benning’s Regiments will come from Long Island and go into garrison in the city.
On the 21st a frigate arrived from England with special dispatches, and today a frigate will depart for England with answer. All the warships and frigates in New York harbor are under orders to sail.

The first camp meeting held in that region, and the first one I ever attended, was held about where the County Infirmary now stands. It was conducted by two brothers named Thomas and Richard Clark. They were nicknamed "Newlights." Their hearers got the jerks, both men and women, and kept on jerking until they were exhausted. One Jack Eeles, said to have been the wickedest man in that county, went to one of their meetings drunk, making fun of them and claiming that their jerking was all a sham. But the jerks got hold on Jack and got him down and would not let of of him. He became so exhausted that his friends had to carry him home. Jack afterward went into the army, was in the war of 1812, and was killed at the battle of Lundy's Lane, in July, 1814.[27]
Battle of Lundy’s Lane, July 25, 1814, the hardest fought land battle of the War of 1812. It took place in Canada, just west of Niagara Falls. Neither side won, but in effect it was a British victory because it halted the advance of United States troops into Canada.[28] I am curious as to whether Conrad might have been there too. JG

July 25, 1907: In 1900, Baden-Powell became a national hero in Britain for his 217-day defense of Mafeking in the South African War. Soon after, Aids to Scouting, a military field manual he had written for British soldiers in 1899, caught on with a younger audience. Boys loved the lessons on tracking and observation and organized elaborate games using the book. Hearing this, Baden-Powell decided to write a nonmilitary field manual for adolescents that would also emphasize the importance of morality and good deeds.
First, however, he decided to try out some of his ideas on an actual group of boys. On July 25, 1907, he took a diverse group of 21 adolescents to Brownsea Island in Dorsetshire where they set up camp for a fortnight. With the aid of other instructors, he taught the boys about camping, observation, deduction, woodcraft, boating, lifesaving, patriotism, and chivalry. Many of these lessons were learned through inventive games that were very popular with the boys. The first Boy Scouts meeting was a great success.
With the success of Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell set up a central Boy Scouts office, which registered new Scouts and designed a uniform. By the end of 1908, there were 60,000 Boy Scouts, and troops began springing up in British Commonwealth countries across the globe. In September 1909, the first national Boy Scout meeting was held at the Crystal Palace in London. Ten thousand Scouts showed up, including a group of uniformed girls who called themselves the Girl Scouts. In 1910, Baden-Powell organized the Girl Guides as a separate organization.
The American version of the Boy Scouts has it origins in an event that occurred in London in 1909. Chicago publisher William Boyce was lost in the fog when a Boy Scout came to his aid. After guiding Boyce to his destination, the boy refused a tip, explaining that as a Boy Scout he would not accept payment for doing a good deed. This anonymous gesture inspired Boyce to organize several regional U.S. youth organizations, specifically the Woodcraft Indians and the Sons of Daniel Boone, into the Boy Scouts of America. Incorporated on February 8, 1910, the movement soon spread throughout the country. In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts of America in Savannah, Georgia.
In 1916, Baden-Powell organized the Wolf Cubs, which caught on as the Cub Scouts in the United States, for boys under the age of 11. Four years later, the first international Boy Scout Jamboree was held in London, and Baden-Powell was acclaimed Chief Scout of the world. He died in 1941.[30] Robert Baden-Powell was a Freemason. The compiler was an Eagle Scout and is also a Freemason.

July 25, 306
306: Constantine I was proclaimed Roman emperor by his troops. Under the rule of Constantine, Christianity would in effect become the official religion the Roman Empire. This was the beginning of a downward spiral in the life of European Jewry. No century was more decisive for Jewish-Christian relations than the fourth century. The Edict of Milan issued by Emperor Constantine in 313 CE granted freedom of worship to all religious groups, including Jews. But Christianity quickly was to become the chief beneficiary of this decree, while Jewish fortunes were to sink to a new low. In 323 CE Christianity was granted a special position within the empire. Judaism theoretically continued as a legal religion, but it was frequently abused by Christian preachers and people without any action being taken by the imperial government. By the time Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity on his deathbed in 329, the imperial government had already begun to institute restrictive measures against Jewish privileges. By the end of the fourth century the civil status of Jews was in serious danger and their image had greatly deteriorated. The Jew was now seen as a semi-satanic figure, cursed by God, and specially set apart by the civil government. [1]
306
The Synod of Elvira bans intermarriage between Christians and Jews. Other social intercourses, such as eating together, are also forbidden.[2]
312
The defining event in the diverging fortunes of Judaism and Christianity came in the early fourth century. Constantine, a thirty-two-year-old provincial Roman leader in the western half of the empire, defeated his regional rival Maxentius at the Milvian Bridge, near Rome, in 312. According to Christian tradition, the letters XP (“Chi-Rho,” the first two letters of “Christ”) in Greek intertwined with a cross appeared before him in the sky. Inspired by the vision, he defeated his formidable rival. Supposedly, in response to the miracle, Constantine issued what became known as the Edict of Milan. Christians in the western sections of the empire would no longer be tortured of killed. [3]
313: Constantine legalizes Christianity. Joined by the eastern tetrarch Licinius, in 313 issued the Edict of Milan, which declared that the Roman Empire would not discriminate against any religion and would cease persecution of Christians. [4]
313: Jerusalem, which is already drawing Christian pilgrims, becomes part of Bysantium (the Easter Roman Empire) for 300 years.[5]
July 25, 425: A decree of the emperors Theodosius II and Valentinian III, addressed to Amatius, prefect of Gaul prohibited Jews and pagans from practising law and from holding public offices ("militandi"), in order that Christians should not be in subjection to them, and thus be incited to change their faith.[6]
431: With regard to religion, we may note that, in A.D. 431, Palladius was sent from Rome as Primus Episcopus to the “Scotos in Christum credentes;” in A.D. 432, Patrick went to Ireland; in A. D. the British Bishop Ninian converted the Southern Picts; in A.D. 565, the Irish Presbyter, Columbus, converted the Northern Picts, and theirs was called the Culdee Church. [7]
The Emperors tried to preserv uniformity by summoning Eecumenical Councils, Councils to which all the bishops of Christendom werer invited, in the hope that the Holy Ghost would descend on them as it had on the disciples at Pentecost. The Councils would descend on them as it had on the disciples at Pentecost. The Councils achieved unanbimity only because dissident bhishops either refused to vfote or were prevented from voting. After each Council a section of Christendom broke away from the main body. The Arian heretics who seceded in the fourth century fated out in the East. But after the Council of Ephesus in 431 there was a separated Nestorian Church, which soon found shich its missionaries were to travel inbto Inbdia and into Tartary.[8]
July 25, 1751: John Cale, born April 19, 1726, died July 26, 1797; married July 25 1751 to Elizabeth Pugh, born December 13, 1730 in Frederick Co., Va., died September 14, 1796.
Daughter, Elizabeth Cale, born 1759, died 1821. Was married, 1782, to George Nicholas Spaid, born December 22, 1759, died June 15, 1833.
Their son, Michael Spaid, born October 1, 1795, in Hampshire County, Virginia, died March 26, 1872, in Buffalo, Ohio. Was married to Margaret ("Peggy") Godlove (Gottlieb), daughter of George Godlove, German lineage, born August 13, 1792, Hampshire County WV, died August 30, 1873 in Buffalo, Guernsey County, Ohio.[9] They were Lutherans and Democrats. Eight children. She had to the last the Virginia accent and kindly ways. [10]
July 25 to 27, 1753: The map shows a proposed Ohio Company fort at Shurtee‘s (Chartiers) Creek that was authorized for construction at the July 25 to 27, 1753 Stratford, Westmoreland County meeting of the Ohio Company. According to Darlington, the meeting records state: Resolved that it is absolutely necessary that the Company should immediately erect a
Fort for the security and protection of their Settlement on a hill just below Shurtees
Creek upon the south east side of the river Ohio; that the walls of the said Fort shall be
twelve feet high, to be built of sawed or hewen logs, and to enclose a piece of ground
ninety feet square, besides the four Bastions at the corners of sixteen feet square each,
with houses in the middle for stores, Magazines &c. according to a plan entered in the
Company‘s Books. That Col. Cresap, Capt. Trent, and Mr Gist, be appointed and
authorized on behalf of the Company to agree with labourers, Carpenters and other
workmen, to build and complete the same as soon as possible and employ hunters to
supply them with Provisions, and agree with some honest industrious man to overlook the
workmen and labourers as Overseer, and that they be supplied with flour, salt and all
other necessaries at the Companys expence. That all the Land upon the hill on which the
said Fort is to be built be appropriated to the use of the said Fort, and that two hundred
acres of land exclusive of streets be layed off for a town convenient and adjoining to the
said Fort lands, in squares of two acres each, every square to be divided into four lots so
that every Lot may front two streets, if the ground will so admit, and that all the streets be
of convenient width, that twenty of the best and most convenient squares be reserved and
set apart for the Company‘s own use, and one square to build a School on for the
education of Indian children and such other uses as the Company shall think proper and
that all the rest of the lots be disposed of.
The presence of the fort on the map seems to indicate that the map was made or altered on or
after July 25, 1753. When examined closely [11] words on the map say ―Fort erecting by the Comp.‖[12]
July 25, 1757: On April 7, 1757, William Crawford, ensign, was promoted to lieutenant. William Crawford, Lieutenant, April 27-July 25, 3 months, 5 days. £47, 10 shillings.[13]
July 25, 1774
The advertisement spoken of by Valentine Crawford was in these words:
“Five POUNDS REWARD.
Run away from the subscriber, living on Jacob’s creek, near Stewart’s crossing, in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania, on Sunday night, the 24th instant, a convict servant man, named William Orr, the property of Col. George Washington, he is a well-made man, about five feet ten inches high, and about twenty-four years of age. He was born in Scotland, and speaks that dialect pretty much. He is of a red complexion, and very full-faced, with short, sandy colored hair, amid very remarkable thumbs, they being both crooked. He had on, and took with him, an old felt hat, bound with black binding; one white cotton coat and jacket, with black horn buttons; one old brown jacket; one pair of snuff-colored breeches; one pair of trowzers, made in sailors fashion—and they are made of sail duck, and have not been washed; a pair of red leggins, and shoes tied with strings; two Osnaberg shirts, and one Holland shirt marked V. C., which he stole, and a blanket.
He stole, likewise, a black horse, about fourteen hands high, branded on time near shoulder and buttock ‘R. W.,’ and shod before. He had neither bridle or saddle that we knew of. I expect he will make to some seaport town, as he has been much used to the seas. Whoever takes up said servant. and secures him, so that he and horse may he had again, shall receive the above reward, or three pounds for the man alone; and reasonable charges, if brought home, paid by me.

July 25, 1775 --Tuesday
As everyone had anticipated—the Indians as well as the Americans—no one paid much attention to the accords reached between Lord Dunmore and the Indians at Camp Charlotte. As soon as the weather permitted this past spring, a new flood of land-claimers, surveyors, settlers and adventurers poured into the Ohio Valley.
The upper Ohio Valley was experiencing the greatest influx of settlers. George Washington, already holding some of the most extensive land claims in that area, only ten days ago had received from Lord Dunmore a patent for another 3,000 acres of land at the mouth of Beaver River, but he suspected he wouldn’t be doing anything much in that area for quite a while, as the war was keeping him very busy. Wheeling, though still not laid out as such, could now almost be described as a town on its own, and settlements such as Catfish Camp, Baker’s Bottom, McMechen’s Settlement and others were also growing rapidly. Some that had been temporarily abandoned during the war, such as McMechen’s, had been burned by the Indians and had to be rebuilt. The Tomlinsons, having returned to their Grave Creek Flats settlement after briefly taking refuge at Redstone, now found many other settlers coming in to sink roots near them, Maj. William Crawford among that number. So much had the population of the area increased over the past months—by several thousand, in fact—that a second Augusta County court was established by Virginia at pittsburgh, and court sessions would now be held alternately at Staunton and Fort Pitt…
…In Williamsburg, Dunmore finally realized the growing momentum of the revolutionaries was more than he could withstand; he abdicated his office and then had the British man-of-war H.M.S. Fowey transport him to Norfolk, Virginia’s largest town and most important port. Upon his arrival he burned the entire town.
As soon as it became known that Lord Dunmore had fled, the Assembly reformed, declared the office of governor vacant and gave themselves, for the first time, absolute home rule. The Virginians, furious at Dunmore’s actions, petitioned that the name of Dunmore County be abolished. This was done immediately, and the name was changed to Shenandoah County. The Virginia Convention then raised nine regiments, called the Virginia Line, and sent two companies of 100 men each to garrison Fort Pitt and a company of 25 men to Fort Fincastle at Wheeling. Now a colonel, William Crawford was given command of the Thirteenth Regiment, and his friend, John Knight, enlisted in that unit. Knight, having by this time worked off his indenture to Crawford, was now calling himself Dr. John Knight because he had studied medicine at the University of Aberdeen before coming to America as a stowaway.[16]
Fall, 1775
The first considerable body of men recruited in the Monongahela country for the Revolutionary army was a battalion, afterwards designated as the Seventh Virginia. It was raised in the fall of 1775, chiefly thrugh the efforts of William Crawford, whose headquarters for the recruiting of it were at his home at Stewart’s Crossings ion the Youghiogheny, then in the county of Westmoreland, or rather, as the Virginia partisans claimed, in the western district of Augusta county, Va. After raising this regiment, Crawford did not immediately secure a colonelcy, but was commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the Fifth Virginia in January 1776 and in the latter part f the same year became colonel of the Seventh. Whe regiment which he raised was made up principally of men from the region now embraced in the counties of Westmoreland and Fayette, but no rolls or lists of their names can be given. [17]

On his arrival at Fort Pitt, Gen. Mcintosh relieved Gen. Hand and, on the recommendation of George Washington, appointed militia Maj. William Crawford as his second in command with the brevet rank of colonel. Mcintosh had decided that a more advanced post than Fort Pitt had to be built as a launching point for the punitive expedition against the Sandusky towns. To that end he dispatched a substantial force of soldiers, laborers and engineers—men of the Eighth Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Col. Daniel Brodhead and the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment commanded by Col. John Gibson, plus ?o regiments of militia—to erect a sturdy fort farther down the Ohio. That fort was flow being constructed on the downriver side of the mouth of Beaver River, on the right bank of the Ohio 25 miles below Fort Pitt, and even though unfinished, it was already being called Fort McIntosh.[19]
July 25, 1783: A transport of recruits stayed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. On January 21, 1783 the regiment received new flags. The Waldeckers remained in Flatbush until the summer of 1783 and the return voyage from New York began on 25 July 1783 (July 25). [20]
JULY 25, 1783
From the 1st of this month until the evening of the 26th 1 was in the provinces of Jersey and Pennsylvania, whither I had been sent in order to look into the situation of the German soldiers who are employed here and there. For this purpose, I had been furnished with a letter from General Carleton to the American War President, General Lincoln, 30[21] and also with other instructions. .:
The mission was undertaken at the request of his Excellency General von Lossberg, who had sent several memoranda to General Carleton to induce him to collect the soldiers bought out of captivity. I am unable to say why General Carleton never answered in writing, but it finally pleased him to have his adjutant. Major von Wilmowsky, tell his Excellency General von Lossberg to order me to proceed to Philadelphia with a letter to General Lincoln. .
Although such requests are ordinarily received with eagerness, I knew well enough that my efforts, the expense of the trip, and, above all, the time consumed would be in vain. If anything satisfactory is to be accomplished in this strange situation among even stranger people, it must be done by the commanding general of the army and no one else. The following report of my partly finished business will prove that I was right.
On the 1st of the month I was unable to proceed further than Elizabethtown, but I arrived in Philadelphia late in the evening the following day. According to my instructions, I stopped an hour at Princeton, where Congress has been established since the 24th of last month, June. President Boudinot had fled there from Philadelphia with all the members of Congress because they could not fulfill their promise to pay the mutinous Pennsylvania Continental brigade, which was ready to carry out its serious threats against this great American council.
President Boudinot gave me permission to continue my journey through Pennsylvania and directed me to Governor Dickinson in Philadelphia. I learned at the same time that General Lincoln had gone to Richmond in Virginia and was expected back on 8th of this month His adjutant, Major Jackson, who is Secretary of the War Council (31) and conducted the General’s business during his absence, read General Carleton’s letter and immediately ruled as follows (1) The War Council has no jurisdiction over the Hessian, Brunswick, and Hesse-Hanau soldiers who have been sold out of imprisonment to the inhabitants (2) Whether the soldiers are released or not depends entirely upon the owners of these men and upon the desires and intentions of the foreign soldiers (3) No German soldiers may return to the British army unless the owners are reimbursed in cash for their outlay.
The President confirmed these decisions, adding, however, that since the British Generals Howe and Clinton allowed American prisoners to languish in prisons and then authorized provincial officers to recruit among these wretched people as they saw fit, since the several admirals on the New York station have treated many seamen cruelly and impressed them, and since, moreover, no exchange of prisoners could be effected in spite of five meetings with the British commissioners, the War Council had been authorized to treat the British auxiliaries in the same manner.
31 Major William Jackson, Assistant Secretary of War
To this he added that if his Excellency General von Lossberg. wanted to get possession of these prisoners, the Americans would be so kind as to permit it in return for a cash payment of £30 Pennsylvania currency per man, conditional on an investigation which would have to be made to determine whether these German soldiers really desired to return, for America held open her arms to people of all nations in welcome and protection.
The French ambassador M. de la Luzerne was present during this conversation. He had just arrived in Princeton from his country estate situated on the Schuylkill, three miles from Philadelphia, and conferred in the college building with the President before the assembled Congress without any ceremony whatever. He heard my answer to the President, namely, that whatever the British generals and admirals had done could not possibly serve as an example, for at that time the Americans under arms were looked upon only as disobedient subjects, and the prisoners, in view of this, were treated well enough. This, however, made no impression, nor did it affect the friendly treatment I enjoyed everywhere and have every reason to praise. .
Governor Dickinson in Philadelphia had no objections to my riding out to Lancaster and Reading. I therefore went from Philadelphia to Darby, Kennett Square, Downingtown, Pequea, Bethlehem, and Lancaster In these places and on the farms I found one hundred and sixty-two Brunswickers and thirteen Hasse-Hanauers, most of them married and settled on their own land Thirty-nine Brunswickers showed a desire to return, but none of the Hesse-Hanauers I visited these places between the 6th and 8th
On the 10th I started out from Philadelphia for Reading The prescribed route was the following from Philadelphia to Germantown, Swedes Ford, Potts Grove, and Reading I found eighty-four men, all Brunswickers save eight from Hesse-Hanau On the way back I rode by way of the Delaware Mills in Bucks County, where I found another twenty-three Brunswmckers and also two deserters from the Regiment von Knyphausen All these men demanded their freedom with the exception of six Hanauers and the two Hessian deserters.
In Philadelphia I discovered fifty-two Hessian deserters but could do no more than let them read a copy of the general pardon, and even in doing this I had to be very cautious. The greater part of them had been talked into desertion and now wish to be allowed to return. Of the Brunswickers at the Delaware Mills, thirteen men had escaped on the 29th of June, but the provincial Colonel Bird recaptured them between Newark and Elizabethtown. (32)[22]
I next went to Mount Hope in Jersey to see the thirty-five men of von Knyphausen’s Regiment who are working in the iron works. I found only twenty-seven men. Some of the missing eight had escaped to New York, but two had worked themselves free and settled In Philadelphia.
I returned to New York with the owner of the iron works on the 16th of this month. His Excellency General von Lossberg sent a letter with my report to General Carleton, in which he asked permission to enter into negotiations with this man, whose name Is Faesh, (33)[23] with a view of paying him as much in cash for these twenty-seven men as they still owe in labor until the expiration of their third year, for only in this way can we get possession of these twenty-seven men again. This was done on the 18th of this month, and today, as I conclude this humble letter, he has not yet received a reply in spite of the fact that I mentioned it to him again on the 22nd.
Meanwhile, in order to lose no time, his Excellency General von Lossberger asked the aid Faesh to prepare an itemized statement, showing how much each of the twenty-Seven men will have received in cash by the end of this month and how much each has still coming to him, and also how large a sum they still have to work off between the 1st of August and the end of the three year period.
His answer is now expected; it will certainly arrive before the one due from General Carleton. His Excellency General you Lossberg will then buy these men’s freedom, for the most part with his own resources, that is, if Mr. Faesh was serious in his offer and the American War Council does not retract its word.
The incidental information which I gathered in Philadelphia and in most of the other places seemed to be pleasing to English headquarters, and I was asked to submit reports on the following topics to General Carleton:
A sergeant major had led the Pennsylvania brigade in Philadelphia in front of the City Hall. In this rebellious mob were six officers in the uniforms of common soldiers. The President was about to escape but was captured and taken with all firmness before the assembled Congress. The officers were later arrested.
In spite of Congress’s promise to pay the Pennsylvanians in three installments nothing has been paid them To avoid its obligations, Congress established itself in Princeton and asked General Washington for a brigade for protection The brigade of Massachusetts Bay under Major General Howe and Brigadier Paterson[24] left the army at Newburg and marched, fifteen hundred strong, through Morristown, Princeton, Trenton, Bristol, and Frankford and encamped on the 7th of this month on the Germantown road, three and a half miles from Philadelphia.
Governor Dickinson, in accordance with the decision of the Pennsylvania Council, was to forbid General Howe to enter Pennsylvania and order him to stop at Trenton, but this was left undone. This brigade had six pieces of artillery and every night posted pickets half an hour’s march in front in the direction of the city. An indescribable bitterness has since prevailed in Philadelphia and in the province Congress and its behavior is not spared in public opinion, faith in General Washington has diminished considerably, the party of former Governor Reed is active in all the Pennsylvania counties, and a general revolt is feared The French embassy and the Bank fear for their safety In this tumult I left Philadelphia.
There are some forty Dutch merchantmen there, nine ships from Ostend flying the imperial flags, five Spanish ships which, however, had been rented by the Swedes, four Danish ships from St Croix, three from Hamburg, two from Bremen, one from Emden, and, lastly, eight English and seven Irish ships. These last are permitted to fly their country’s flag, while the British flags must be struck at Gloucester Point in the Delaware, because the American flag has been insulted in New York.
All European merchandise finds a ready sale for hard cash, for no domestic products are to be found in Philadelphia with the possible exception of flour and lumber, which, however, only the Spanish and Dutch can accept When I was in Philadelphia, there were six Portuguese ships at anchor. Two of these departed with cash, using rocks for ballast. They took American seamen to complete their crews. This was also done by the Dutch who, however, set out for the West Indies with cargoes of flour, which they will trade there for rice, tobacco, and indigo.
The Virginians, always jealous of the Pennsy1vanians, are equally void of all honesty in trade and cheat their neighbors almost as much as the Marylanders cheat the Carolinians. They consider the Chesapeake theirs and have complete confidence in the French. On the 29th of May this year the Portuguese agent Francisco (35)[25] received orders to buy up all the iron ships cannon of four, nine, and eighteen pounds caliber.
Running into the Delaware is made more difficult each year by the chevaux-de-frise, which cannot be raised and now form an island in the middle of the river, opposite Gloucester Point and extending toward the city Thus the river bed, ordinarily very wide, has been made considerably narrower and shallower.
The wares and merchandise that find a ready sale, particularly with the Pennsylvania farmers, are scythes sickles, cutting knives, unworked steel, grindstones, linen of all sorts, and salt. The Irish make a great profit selling linen, and the English cannot supply enough cloth.
When American products ordered for Europe are ready for shipment, the Dutch ships take them at half rates, whereas American ships cannot carry them even at full rates. This is quite a blow. Besides, it costs two-thirds more to produce such merchandise as nails, iron wares, shoes, leather, hats, and silk goods in America than it costs to import them from Europe. No one thinks of building any warships.
The immense sums owed to France cause everyone worry, for there is no money to pay back the borrowed capital. Consequently, Congress gladly condones the confiscation of property in the provinces, hoping to derive some benefit from it. In general however, this policy is very harmful, since the provinces are thereby depopulated, the people of the northern provinces moving to Nova Scotia and those of the southern provinces migrating to the Ohio. To sum up in a few words, everything has gone to ruin, and experiencing the evil consequences thereof will be the lot of the North American people for a long time.
I saw General Gates in Philadelphia. He had just returned from a trip to the region above Albany, whither he has been sent to exhort the Indians to be peaceful. He found the old Indians obliging, but the young chieftains ready for war and cruel expeditions. His report contains the important statement that these Indians are still given presents and provided with munitions from Canada.
Now that all the small auxiliary corps, except two Anspach regiments, have already departed and these two regiments are ready to embark, some troops will encamp at McGown’s Pass on this island next week. Von Knyphausen’s and von Bunau’s Regiments will then move in front of the city, while the Vacant, the Erb Prinz, Bose’s, von Knoblauch’s, and von Benning’s Regiments will come from Long Island and go into garrison in the city.
On the 21st a frigate arrived from England with special dispatches, and today a frigate will depart for England with answer. All the warships and frigates in New York harbor are under orders to sail.
With the deepest respect I have the honor ever to be [etc.][26]

The first camp meeting held in that region, and the first one I ever attended, was held about where the County Infirmary now stands. It was conducted by two brothers named Thomas and Richard Clark. They were nicknamed "Newlights." Their hearers got the jerks, both men and women, and kept on jerking until they were exhausted. One Jack Eeles, said to have been the wickedest man in that county, went to one of their meetings drunk, making fun of them and claiming that their jerking was all a sham. But the jerks got hold on Jack and got him down and would not let of of him. He became so exhausted that his friends had to carry him home. Jack afterward went into the army, was in the war of 1812, and was killed at the battle of Lundy's Lane, in July, 1814.[27]
Battle of Lundy’s Lane, July 25, 1814, the hardest fought land battle of the War of 1812. It took place in Canada, just west of Niagara Falls. Neither side won, but in effect it was a British victory because it halted the advance of United States troops into Canada.[28] I am curious as to whether Conrad might have been there too. JG

July 25, 1907: In 1900, Baden-Powell became a national hero in Britain for his 217-day defense of Mafeking in the South African War. Soon after, Aids to Scouting, a military field manual he had written for British soldiers in 1899, caught on with a younger audience. Boys loved the lessons on tracking and observation and organized elaborate games using the book. Hearing this, Baden-Powell decided to write a nonmilitary field manual for adolescents that would also emphasize the importance of morality and good deeds.
First, however, he decided to try out some of his ideas on an actual group of boys. On July 25, 1907, he took a diverse group of 21 adolescents to Brownsea Island in Dorsetshire where they set up camp for a fortnight. With the aid of other instructors, he taught the boys about camping, observation, deduction, woodcraft, boating, lifesaving, patriotism, and chivalry. Many of these lessons were learned through inventive games that were very popular with the boys. The first Boy Scouts meeting was a great success.
With the success of Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell set up a central Boy Scouts office, which registered new Scouts and designed a uniform. By the end of 1908, there were 60,000 Boy Scouts, and troops began springing up in British Commonwealth countries across the globe. In September 1909, the first national Boy Scout meeting was held at the Crystal Palace in London. Ten thousand Scouts showed up, including a group of uniformed girls who called themselves the Girl Scouts. In 1910, Baden-Powell organized the Girl Guides as a separate organization.
The American version of the Boy Scouts has it origins in an event that occurred in London in 1909. Chicago publisher William Boyce was lost in the fog when a Boy Scout came to his aid. After guiding Boyce to his destination, the boy refused a tip, explaining that as a Boy Scout he would not accept payment for doing a good deed. This anonymous gesture inspired Boyce to organize several regional U.S. youth organizations, specifically the Woodcraft Indians and the Sons of Daniel Boone, into the Boy Scouts of America. Incorporated on February 8, 1910, the movement soon spread throughout the country. In 1912, Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts of America in Savannah, Georgia.
In 1916, Baden-Powell organized the Wolf Cubs, which caught on as the Cub Scouts in the United States, for boys under the age of 11. Four years later, the first international Boy Scout Jamboree was held in London, and Baden-Powell was acclaimed Chief Scout of the world. He died in 1941.[30] Robert Baden-Powell was a Freemason. The compiler was an Eagle Scout and is also a Freemason.

[29] To the farm boys who had never been out of sight of land before the ten day ocean voyage was high adventure. Schools of porpoises and a number of flying fish were noted, as were certain landmarks such as the lighthouse at Key West, Florida. To the majority of the regiment a light breeze was a gale, and all were seasick to prove it. (A History of the 24th Iowa Infantry 1862-1865 by Harvey H. Kimble Jr. August 1974. page 158)
