1833- Margaret Fox - U.S. spiritualist birthday. Along with her younger sister Catherine (1839) , they are both said to have invented the field of spiritualism. At least they were among the most popular and much sought-after spiritualists of the era of table tapping and sounds from the dead. Later in life Margaret turned to religion and sister Catherine recanted spiritualism and then recanted her recanting. As teen-agers they appeared to have attracted poltergeist-like manifestations. The primary divination method used by the Fox sisters in séances was table tapping - a method in which those in the spiritual (after death) realm used tapping sounds on the table, the walls and the floor to communicate. According to tradition, one of the sisters was able to snap her big toe on the floor to create the tapping sound. Horace Greeley was convinced the sisters were authentic and they got the backing of his New York Tribune. Later in life Margaret Fox revealed it started out as a game and turned into outright charlatan.

1864- Naval Engagement at Bahia Harbor Brazil-CSS Florida vs USS Wachusett The Union warship Wachusett captures the famed Confederate raider Florida while the Rebel ship is in port at Bahia, Brazil.

1864 - Battle of Darbytown Road, Virginia
In the summer of 1864, the campaign between Lee and Union General Ulysses S. Grant ground to a halt at Petersburg, 25 miles south of Richmond. Seeking to halt the march to Richmond, Lee sent two divisions under Generals Charles Field and Robert Hoke to move around the end of the Union line and attacked 1,700 cavalrymen. The assault sent the Yankees into a quick retreat. The Confederates captured eight cannons and drove the Union troopers into the breastworks of General Alfred Terry. Alerted to the advancing Confederates, Terry summoned reinforcements to his position. By the time the Confederates worked their way through the thick foliage, they faced a strong Union force. Lee ordered an attack anyway. Brigades advanced one at a time, and the Yankee artillery tore the lines apart. By the afternoon, the Confederates withdrew to their original position. They lost 700 men while the Yankees lost only 400, and no ground was gained. Lee did not make another attempt to regain the ground and focused instead on setting up defenses closer to Richmond. (there seems to have been several skirmishes around Darbytown Road, but here is from the writing on a solider of the Fourth Oneida Regiment, New York, who was at the scene: “Efforts by the rebel forces to retake Fort Harrison on the 30th were not successful. General Grant decided not to renew the attack on the 30th, ordering the Army of the James to maintain its defensive position in preparation for General Lee's subsequent unsuccessful counterattack,” that followed.

Baseball Poem
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE
TIM PEELER
Beyond the rim of what we can see,
A drain waits for Mantle's uncareful foot
A drain named Martin moves in slow
Pickup truck movements across
The hoary crest of the morning hill
Somewhere out there,
History loops in long horse lopes
As Davey Lopes covers second
On a runaway steal.
Somewhere out there,
Time staggers on the teeth of a reel
And the God of the universe
Checks His counter obsessively
And curses quietly to Himself.
from " Touching the Bases"
