This Day in American History
1721- Roger Sherman, American statesman, member of the Continental Congress (1774—81 and 1783—84). signer of the Declaration of Independence and of the Constitution, was born at Newton, MA. Roger Sherman is the only American to sign four important historical documents: The Continental Association of 1774; The Declaration of Independence; The Articles of Confederation; and The Federal Constitution He also calculated astronomical and calendar information for an almanac. Sherman died at New Haven, CT, July 23, 1793.

1775 -- Midnight rider Paul Revere, on his way to warn Concord that the British were coming, is arrested by the Redcoats and relieved of his horse. (Revere's companion, William Dawes, succeeded in delivering the message. He was later released and rode to many of the surrounding towns giving word to unite and get ready for the British.
1775 - The first engagement of the Revolutionary War took place under clear crisp weather at Lexington-Concord.
1775- John Parker, revolutionary solider, captain of the Minutemen, gave this order at Lexington Green, Massachusetts, " Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon; but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here." There is no proof that he said these words. Newspapers in the 18 th century added it to the story. The Revolutionary War did not begin here. An earlier skirmish had been recorded in New Hampshire when a British fort was captured without gunfire (they snuck up in the middle of the night). History records this as the first actual gunfire and major battle. Captain Parker died in action September 17 the same year. For years this was known as John Parker Day and he was saluted for his courage. It is still celebrated in some New England communities. History records this as the “opening volleys of the American Revolution”. Captain John Parker, commanding some 70 Minutemen, after learning of the arrival of the British from Samuel Prescott, engaged the British. There were 70 Minutemen volunteers under Captain John Parker and about 700 British Regulars under Major John Pitcairns, who were on their way to destroy illegal military stores at nearby Concord. The Americans were ordered to disperse. As they were doing so, one of them fired a shot. The British returned fire, killing 8 Minutemen and wounding 10.
Troops under the command of Brigadier General Hugh Percy, played "Yankee Doodle" as they marched from Boston to reinforce British soldiers already fighting the Americans at Lexington and Concord . Whether sung or played on that occasion, the tune was martial and intended to deride the colonials:
Yankee Doodle came to town,
For to buy a firelock;
We will tar and feather him
And so we will John Hancock.
(CHORUS)
Yankee Doodle, keep it up,
Yankee Doodle Dandy,
Mind the Music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/apr19.html ( go to the second part )
The relatively brief fight at Lexington left eight Minutemen dead and ten wounded. With reinforcements and an overwhelming number, the British then marched to Concord, destroyed some colonial supplies, and fought another engagement before beginning a long an costly retreat under colonial fire back to Boston. The actual retreat was more costly to the British than the two traditional battles. By the day's end, the British had suffered about 273 casualties, the Americans 92.
1782- America's oldest continuously peaceful diplomatic relations began. The States General of the Netherlands United Provinces admitted John Adams (later to become second president of the US) as minister plenipotentiary of the young American republic. This was the second diplomatic recognition of the US as an independent nation. Within six months Adams had succeeded in bringing about the signing of the first Treaty of Amity and Commerce between the two countries (Oct 8, 1782).
1865-Abraham Lincoln was the first president to be assassinated. He died at the White House on April 16. General Robert E. Lee had surrendered a week earlier. The Civil War was basically over His body was removed to the White House, where it remained until April 18, while people literally lined up miles to pay homage. In order to accommodate more people to show respect to the fallen president, the body was removed to the Capitol rotunda, where it lay in state on a catafalque on April 19 and 20. On April 21, it was taken to the railroad station and put aboard a train that conveyed it to Springfield, ILL. It is said there were people all along the railroad tracks who had come out to pay homage, some bringing flowers, and there was a lot of outright crying from not only women and children, but men who traditionally not show this emotion. Lincoln was buried on May 4, 1965, in Oak Ridge Cemetery, near Springfield. To perhaps understand this further, he had made his second inaugural address on March 4, not more than a month earlier. It brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience. It was reportedly a silent audience, befitting an occasion made ever more solemn by Lincoln's words. The war was not over, but there was room for hope, if not certainty. Lincoln began by saying that the occasion did not call for an extended address, such as the one delivered as the one he delivered at his first inaugural. The audience was as familiar as he with the progress so of the war. Lincoln asked his listeners to relive with him the forebodings of four years before, when both sides were rushing toward war, through “neither party expected the magnitude anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease before the conflict in itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph and a result less fundamental and astonishing. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God. Each invokes His aid against the other. It just God's assistance in wringing bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged.” He expressed the common hope that the war would soon end, and bade his hearers to continue what they had begun: “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and orphans, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.” The address was not followed by any demonstration, either public or personal, to indicate to Lincoln whether it had been effective. he felt himself that it was among the best he had ever delivered, and he expressed this sentiment in a letter to Thurlow Weed, thanking Weed for a few words of Congratulation. He was concerned with healing wounds, bringing the nation together, as he outlined in this speech. The country had heard him.
1836--Birthday of Augustus D. Julliard, American music patron; responsible for founding the Julliard School of Music.
1856-San Francisco City and County were consolidated by an act of the Legislature. San Mateo County was created from the southern part of San Francisco County. The Act to take effect July 1.
1875-the Centennial celebration of the Revolution was held at Lexington and Concord, MA, on April 19,1875, to commemorate the 100 th birthday of American liberty. The participants included President Ulysses Simpson Grant, three cabinet secretaries, and many state governors.
1887-The start of the Boston Marathon, originally called the American Marathon Race. It was first run on a course that began in Hopkinton, MA, and continued through Ashland, Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, and Newton to Exeter Street, Boston, a distance of 26 miles, 385 feet. The winner was John J. McDermott of the Pastime Athletic Club of New York City, whose time was 2 hours, 55 minutes, 10 seconds.

1932—Birthday of Andrea Mead Lawrence - U.S. Alpine skier; winner of two gold medals in the 1952 Olympics, the only U.S. skier - male or female - to win two medals in skiing to that time. Marrying in 1952, she had the third of her five children only four month before she just missed the bronze in the 1956 Olympics (Three children in four years and still retained world class skiing ability!).
Her Olympic victories, coupled with her U.S. championship titles in the downhill, slalom, and Alpine combined in 1950, 1952, and 1955 and the giant slalom in 1953, earned her a place in the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame.
1933-Birthday of Jayne Mansfield - U.S. actor and entertainment personality. Although gifted with an IQ of 163, and charming, when she appeared on late night television shows it was her body and “dumb blonde” act that got all the attention. In 1956 she married Mr. Universe Mickey Hargity.and the emphasis on physical "beauty" may have sidetracked her. After a series of grade B movies, she appeared on late night television talk host shows, and toured in night club acts to supplament her dwindling film income (she had at one time been one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood) and she was killed in a horrific automobile accident between Biloxi, Mississippi, where she was appearing and New Orleans. On June 29, 1967 JM was driving with Ronnie Harrison and lawyer Sam Brody in the front seat. Her children, Mickey, Jr., Zoltan and Mariska sat in the back. As they rounded a curve on a dark stretch of road, the car slammed into a parked semi. Though the children survived with minor injuries, everyone in the front was killed instantly. Her daughter Marissa (Mariska) Hargity is the star of Law and Order Sex Victims Unit. Rumor has it that Mansfield was beheaded in the accident but it was her wig that flew off. The autopsy showed that she had had only one drink but the rumors that drinking was the cause of the accident and she was beheaded is what everyone thinks today.
1941 - The temperature at Sodus, NY, soared to 95 degrees. The next day Albany, NY, reported a record for April of 93 degrees.
1942- Alan Price, the founder of the Animals, was born in Newcastle, England. The band was originally called the Alan Price Combo, and played mostly rhythm-and-blues songs. Group members overheard some fans talking about those "wild animals" on stage, and thus the band adopted a new name - the Animals. Price's organ work and the vocals of Eric Burdon were the core of their early hits, such as 1964's "House of the Rising Sun," an adaption by Price of a black folk song. Price left the Animals in 1965 for a solo career, which included scoring the Lindsay Anderson film "O! Lucky Man." Both Price and Burdon returned for an Animals reunion in 1983.
1945 - The musical "Carousel", based on Molnar's "Liliom", opened at the Majestic Theatre in New York City. John Raitt and Jan Clayton starred in the show which ran for 890 performances. Music was by the team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein,

1956 - Major-league baseball came to New Jersey for the first time as the Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City. Walter O'Malley's Dodgers played several games in New Jersey during the 1956 season, taking a major step toward vacating Ebbets Field and moving to LA. The Dodgers broke the hearts of many in Flatbush who rallied around the team. Many of us never got over the team leaving Brooklyn. I remember going to games at Ebbets Field, including the World Series we won, and also watching the Bronx Bombers.

1967-THORSNESS, LEO K. Medal of Honor
Rank and organization: Lieutenant Colonel (then Maj.), U.S. Air Force, 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron. Place and date: Over North Vietnam, 19 April 1967. Entered service at: Walnut Grove, Minn. Born: 14 February 1932, Walnut Grove, Minn. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. As pilot of an F- 105 aircraft, Lt. Col. Thorsness was on a surface-to-air missile suppression mission over North Vietnam. Lt. Col. Thorsness and his wingman attacked and silenced a surface-to-air missile site with air-to-ground missiles, and then destroyed a second surface-to-air missile site with bombs. In tile attack on the second missile site, Lt. Col. Thorsness' wingman was shot down by intensive antiaircraft fire, and the 2 crewmembers abandoned their aircraft. Lt. Col. Thorsness circled the descending parachutes to keep the crewmembers in sight and relay their position to the Search and Rescue Center. During this maneuver, a MIG-17 was sighted in the area. Lt. Col. Thorsness immediately initiated an attack and destroyed the MIG. Because his aircraft was low on fuel, he was forced to depart the area in search of a tanker. Upon being advised that 2 helicopters were orbiting over the downed crew's position and that there were hostile MlGs in the area posing a serious threat to the helicopters, Lt. Col. Thorsness, despite his low fuel condition, decided to return alone through a hostile environment of surface-to-air missile and antiaircraft defenses to the downed crew's position. As he approached the area, he spotted 4 MIG-17 aircraft and immediately initiated an attack on the MlGs, damaging 1 and driving the others away from the rescue scene. When it became apparent that an aircraft in the area was critically low on fuel and the crew would have to abandon the aircraft unless they could reach a tanker, Lt. Col. Thorsness, although critically short on fuel himself, helped to avert further possible loss of life and a friendly aircraft by recovering at a forward operating base, thus allowing the aircraft in emergency fuel condition to refuel safely. Lt. Col. Thorsness' extraordinary heroism, self-sacrifice, and personal bravery involving conspicuous risk of life were in the highest traditions of the military service, and have reflected great credit upon himself and the U.S. Air Force.
