This Day in American History
1492 - Columbus' fleet anchored at "Fernandina" (Long Island, Bahamas).1629- The Virginia General Assembly enacted a law to limit the planting of tobacco, in an attempt to control the price of the export to Europe . More slaves were “imported” as Virginia main economy was becoming the growing and selling of tobacco.
1701-The Collegiate School (later to be named Yale) was founded at Branford , CT by Congregationalists dissatisfied with the religious atmosphere at Harvard. In 1716, the school was moved to New Haven , CT. , where it became Yale College , named after Elihu Yale, a governor of the East India Company. The first degrees wren awarded in 1716. Yale became a university in 1887.. Founded as a school for men, Yale began admitting women undergraduates in 1969.
1701 - Yale University was founded as The Collegiate School of Kilingworth, Connecticut by Congregationalists who considered Harvard too liberal.
1758- birthday of Noah Webster, American teacher and journalist whose name became synonymous with the word “dictionary” after his compilations of the earliest American dictionaries of the English language. Born at West Hartford , CT , he died at New Haven , CT , May 28, 1843.
1781 - General Cornwallis finding no way out from Yorktown siege. At about 4:00 A.M. Lt. Colonel Robert Abercromby led 350 British troops on a sortie to spike allied guns now in position on the second parallel. Abercromby was able to spike four guns after pretending to be an American detachment. Moving to another position along the parallel, the British were this time driven back to their lines by a French covering party. However, they had managed to spike two more guns, but the allies were able to get all the spiked guns back into action within six hours. That evening, General Cornwallis attempted to ferry across the York River to see about fighting his way out by way of Gloucester, but a storm frustrated these efforts.
1829 -- The Tremont Hotel opened in Boston . Heralded as the first modern hotel in America , each of the Tremont's luxurious 170 rooms went for $2 a day. The price included four meals. It also boasted being the first hotel with indoor plumbing.
1846- Dr. John Collins Warren gave the first demonstration of painless surgery using a drug supplied by William Thomas Green Morton, a dentist of Charleston , MA . Morton was refused admission to hospitals until he divulged the name of the secret drug, which was sulfuric either. Although he is credited with the discovery of anesthetics, 8 or 10 others have also claimed this honor.
1849 -- Birthday of George Washington Williams, born Bedrod Springs , Pa. Early African-American historian & founder of two African-American newspapers, "The Commoner" in Washington , DC , & Cincinnati 's "The Southern Review".
1858 - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published The Courtship of Miles Standish, a narrative poem about romance among the Pilgrims. The story is not accurate and an exaggeration, basically made up by Longfellow, who took much of the plot from a German poem of another man who asks another for marriage and the lady says, “Why not speak for yourself.” It has been repeated so many times people believe it is a true story. It is not. The same as his most famous poem,” The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere.” He never reached his destination. He was one of three riders who tried. Only Dr. Samuel Prescott reached Concord , where he delivered the warning, "The British are Coming!" And when the British came to Concord , the Americans were ready.
1859- The federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry (now in W.Va. ) was seized by John Brown and 21 followers. Brown wanted to establish an abolitionist republic in the Appalachians and to fight slavery with fugitive slaves and abolitionist whites. On Dec. 2 he was hanged at Charles Town, Va., for murder, conspiracy, and treason against Virginia . In the South he was thought of as a murderer and traitor who deserved the gallows, but in the North his gibbet was described as “the cross of a martyr.” Slave owners in the South had been chasing runaways in “free” states and territories. They were raiding cities. John Brown survived one of the raids. There were border wars and skirmishes between armed raiders and unarmed small towns. Violence was riff in many areas. In Concord , Mass. , Henry David Thoreau wrote of Brown: “When a government puts forth its strength, to kill the liberators of the slave, what a merely brute ... force it is seen to be.” Lincoln was philosophical and brooded over the fates of historical zealots who had taken it upon themselves to end oppression. Longfellow sounded a prophetic note: “This will be a great day in our history, the date of a new revolution. . . . As I write, they are leading old John Brown to execution. ... This is sowing the wind to reap the whirlwind, which will soon come.

Neibaur was sent out on patrol with his automatic rifle squad to enfilade enemy machinegun nests. As he gained the ridge he set up his automatic rifle and was directly thereafter wounded in both legs by fire from a hostile machinegun on his flank. The advance wave of the enemy troops, counterattacking, had about gained the ridge, and although practically cut off and surrounded, the remainder of his detachment being killed or wounded, this gallant soldier kept his automatic rifle in operation to such effect that by his own efforts and by fire from the skirmish line of his company, at least 100 yards in his rear, the attack was checked. The enemy wave being halted and lying prone, 4 of the enemy attacked Pvt. Neibaur at close quarters. These he killed. He then moved alone among the enemy lying on the ground about him, in the midst of the fire from his own lines, and by coolness and gallantry captured 11 prisoners at the point of his pistol and, although painfully wounded, brought them back to our lines. The counterattack in full force was arrested to a large extent by the single efforts of this soldier, whose heroic exploits took place against the skyline in full view of his entire battalion.

Baseball Poem
The Baseball Players
Against the bright
grass the white-knockered
players tense, seize,
and attend. A moment
ago, outfielders adjusted
their clothing, glanced
at the sun and settled
forward, hands on knees;
the catcher twitched
a forefinger; the pitcher
walked back of the hill,
established his cap
and returned; the batter
rotated his bat
in a slow circle,
But now
they pause: wary,
exact, suspended -
while abiding moonrise
lightens the angel
of the overgrown
garden, and Walter Blake
Adams, who died
at fourteen, waits
under the footbridge.
