This Day in American History
1646-A “Wolf bounty” was granted under authority of the General Assembly held at James City, VA. It was singed by sir William Berkely, Knight Governor, and provided that “what person soever shall after publication hereof kill a wolfe and bring in headoto any commissioner, upon certificate of said communication to the county court, he or they shall received one hundred pounds of tobacco for doing to be raised out of the County where the wolfe is killed.”
1703-Birthday of famed Preacher Jonathan Edwards, born East Windsor, CT: an American Congregationalist clergyman, was the outstanding theologian and scholar of colonial New England in the 1700's, leader of the “Great Awakening.”. In his most famous book Freedom of the Will (1754), he upheld such Calvinistic doctrines as predestination. But he insisted that man had freedom to choose alternative courses when forces outside him "inclined" his will to choose.. He received A.B. and A.M. degrees from Yale University. In 1727, he was ordained and installed as assistant in the church of Solomon Stoddard, his grandfather, at Northampton, Mass. When Stoddard died in 1729, Edwards became pastor. The religious revival, a part of the Great Awakening, came to his church in 1734. His famous sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of An Angry God"(1741), was preached during his revival. Edwards ' discipline of young people for reading "immoral" literature and his refusal to give communion to unconverted church members caused dismissal in 1750. He then served as a missionary to the Indians in Stockbridge, Mass., from 1751-1757. Edwards became president of the college of New England (now Princeton) in 1758, but died later that same year when he contracted smallpox from an inoculation.

1717- the “Mississippi Bubble,” or “ Mississippi Scheme,” devised by John Law to promote and finance French colonization in Louisiana ruined thousands of investors The Duke of Orleans, regent of France, had encouraged and underwritten Law, a Scottish financier and speculator, to start a bank. Under the name of the Western Company ( also known as the Company of the West, “Comagnie D'Occident,” and the Mississippi Company), the bank gained control of all trade on the Mississippi River and issued paper money in excess of available security. (1720), Law, made controller general of finances, merged the huge stock company with the royal bank and took over most of the public debt and the administration of revenue. A rash of speculation swept France. Numerous small investors bought stock, which soared to heights far beyond what could be expected in returns from the exploitation of the colonies and from trade with East Asia. The bubble burst suddenly. Well-informed speculators sold their stock at huge profits, setting off a frenzy of selling that ruined thousands of investors. Very similar to the Dot.com experience of today. The collapse of the bank in 1720 ruined Law and caused great trouble in France. Although his financial scheme end in failure, it did promote colonization in Louisiana. Law died in 1725.
1813 - The Battle of the Thames was decisive in the War of 1812. The U.S. victory over British and Indian forces near Ontario at the village of Moraviantown on the Thames River is known in Canada as the Battle of Moraviantown. Some 600 British regulars and 1,000 Indian allies under the command of Colonel Henry Procter and Shawnee leader Tecumseh were greatly outnumbered and quickly defeated by U.S. forces, an army of 3,500 troops, under the command of Maj. Gen. William Henry Harrison. The British army was retreating from Fort Malden, Ontario after Oliver Hazard Perry's victory in the Battle of Lake Erie. Tecumseh convinced Colonel Procter to make a stand at Moraviantown. The American army won a total victory. The British soldiers fled or surrendered. The Indians fought fiercely, but they lost heart and scattered after Tecumseh died on the battlefield. Richard Johnson probably killed the Indian leader. The Battle of the Thames was the most important land battle of the War of 1812 in the American Northwest. General Harrison's victory marked the end of Tecumseh's Confederacy and the downfall of the Indians in Ohio.
1824-The birthday of Henry Chadwick, Baseball Hall of Fame sportswriter and innovator born at Exeter, Devon, England. Known as the “Father of Baseball” and later as “Father Chadwick,” he wrote voluminously about baseball, popularizing the game and protecting its integrity. He prefected the newspaer box score, served on the rules committee and devised the method of scoring games still in use. Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1938. Died in New York April 20, 1908.
1829- Birthday of the 21st president of the US, Chester Alan Arthur, born at Fairfield, VT, and succeeded to the presidency following the death of James A. Garfield. Garfield was shot July 2, 1881, as he entered the railway station at Washington, DC. He died September 19,1881, never having recovered from the wound. The assassin, Charles J. Guiteau, was hanged June 30, 1882. Arthur's term of office: Sept 20, 1881-Mar 3, 1885. He was not successful in obtaining the Republican party's nomination for the following term. June ,1884 the Republican National Convention nominated James G Blaine of Maine for the presidency on the first ballot. Gen. John A. Logan of Illinois was nominated for the vice presidency. The “Mugwumps,” the independent Republicans walked out of the national convention in Chicago, IL, when the party nominated James G. Blaine. They felt he would not support civil service reform. On June 16, they held a convention of their own in New York City, pleding support to the Democratic Party if a liberal candidate were named. The presidential election campaign of 1884 was fought mainly with attacks on the reputations of the rival candidates. The Republican candidate James G. Blaine, on the basis of letters he had written, was accused of having profited from the Credit Mobilier scandal involving the building of the Union Pacific Railroad. His opponents sang: “Blaine, Blaine, James G. Blaine, the continental liar from the state of Maine.” The Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland was accused of having fathered an illegitimate child, which in his forthright manner he admitted. The turning point of the election was most likely a remark made on October 9th by the Rev. Samuel D. Burchard in New York, in the presence of Blaine, that the Democrats were the party of “Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion.” Blaine did not disavow the remark, and the Irish-American Roman Catholics of New York were outraged. Cleveland carried the state by 1149 votes and thereby won the presidency. Cleveland received 219 electoral votes to Blaine's 182, but the popular vote was Cleveland 4,911,017 to Blaines' 4,848,334. Arthur died a broken man on November 18,1886.
1852-A major boon to the agriculture industry was the patient of Lorenzo Lorraine Langstroth, a former pastor in Oxford, Ohio, for a beehive with removable frames. Langstroth's hive designed revolutionized beekeeping because it was the first that allowed bees to build combs on wooden frames that could be removed, stripped of honey and wax, and then replaced. His key discovery was the "bee space," the minimum air space that bees would not bridge with wax or bee glue. By setting up his frames at this distance, he prevented the bees from building connections between them. This allowed him to remove one frame at a time without damaging the adjacent frames, and enabled him to maximize the amount of honeycomb in the hive.

1863- in an attempt to disrupt the Union blockade of Charleston Harbor, the Confederate semi-submersible "David" rammed the Federal ironclad "New Ironsides" with a spar torpedo This was the first successful Southern attack using a submersible craft. Although both sides experimented with submarine warfare during the Civil War, the results were far from encouraging, as the submarines caused more fatalities to their own crews than to the opposing side.
1871- Celia C. Burleigh became the first woman ordained as a Unitarian minister. Her parish was in Brooklyn, CT.

1897--Birthday of Dr. Florence Seibert - U.S. chemist. Dr. Seibert developed the process that removed bacteria from water in a single distillation - a process vital for safe injections and other medical uses. Until her process, water wasn't always safe for injection even after three distillations. She also perfected the first reliable test for TB that was adopted as the standard in the U.S. in 1941 and worldwide in 1952. She was tiny, weighing less than 100 pounds and was partially disabled from a childhood bout with infantile paralysis.
1905- Helen Newington Wills (Moody) - U.S. tennis champion, one of the greatest of all times. She graduated from the University of California with a degree in Fine Arts Phi Beta Kappa (1928) as the reigning American woman tennis player.With her tremendous ground stroke teamed with amazing control and steely concentration, from 1923 to 1938 she won Wimbledon eight times - a record broken 50 years later by Martina Navratilova with nine wins. Moody won the U.S. Championship seven times and the French Open four times - and won two Olympic gold medals. She also won the doubles at Wimbledon three times and U.S. doubles four times. She dared appear in sleeveless blouses and knee length skirts without stockings. She was too powerful a figure in tennis to be disqualified, although there was movement for her to be declared ineligible for "immoral behavior." From 1926 to 1932 she did not lose a single set on American soil!
1908- Birthday of Carole Lombard - U.S. film actor. She was the outstanding American film actor of light comedy of her time. Her popularity was still on the rise when she died in a 1942 plane crash during one of her many war bond-selling trips during World War II. She was married to Clark Gable.

1950- You Bet Your Life” premiered on TV.. This funny game show began on radio in 1947 and moved to TV with Groucho Marx as host and George Fenneman as announcer and scorekeeper. Players tried to answer questions in the category of their choice, but Groucho's improvised interviews stole the show.

Players could also win money by uttering the secret word, an everyday word suspended above the stage on a duck that dropped when the word was spoken.

Baseball Poem
God Protects Fools with Curveballs
Going after her
Was chasing
A bad pitch,
A sharp curve
That tailed off
Into the dirt,
Evaded the end
Of my whirling bat.
Thank goodness
I only looked stupid
On the first strike.
