This
Day in American History
1644-Birthday
of William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, born at London, England. Penn

including Winston Churchill and Raoul Wallengber”
( lower half of:
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/oct14.html
)
1656- The first punitive legislation in Massachusetts against Quakers was enacted. (The marriage of church-and-state in Puritanism made them regard the ritual-free Quakers as spiritually apostate and politically subversive). The law provided for a fine of 100 pounds for any ship captain who delivered Quakers “ or any other blasphemous heretics” the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Possessing Quaker books and coming to the defense of Quakers was also outlawed and punished with fines, whipping and jailing. Subsequent anti-Quaker laws included the penalties of having their ears cut off and the tongue bored through with a
hot iron.
1734-Birthday of Francis Lightfoot Lee, signer
of the Declaration of Independence. Born at Westmoreland County, VA,
he died January 11, 1797 at Richmond County, VA.

Oct
24, 1790.
1774-The
Declaration of rights was passed by the First Continental Congress in
Philadelphia, PA. It was known
as the “Declaration and Resolves of the First Continental Congress.”:

1863
-Battle of Bristol Station -
Confederate General
Robert E. Lee attempts to drive the Union army out of Virginia but fails
when an outnumbered Union force repels the attacking Rebels The aggressive
Lee realized that he had a chance to cut the Union army up piecemeal
during the withdrawal. Confederate General Ambrose P. Hill spotted Yankees
from General George Sykes's Fifth Corps near Bristoe Station on the
afternoon of October 14. Thinking this was the rear of the Union army,
Hill attacked and began driving the Federals away in disarray. The Confederates
were surprised by the sudden appearance of Union General Governor K.
Warren's Second Corps. Warren's men were returning from a small battle
at Auburn, Virginia, earlier that morning. Hill decided to attack this
new force as well, but the Yankees were well protected by a railroad
cut. In a very short engagement, the Confederates suffered 1,400 men
killed, wounded, and captured, while the Union lost only 546. "Bury
these poor men," Lee somberly told Hill, "and let us say no
more about it." The Union army was driven back 40 miles from its
original positions, and the Confederates destroyed a large section of
the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, a key Union supply line. Nonetheless,
the gains were temporary. The next month, Meade drove Lee back behind
the Rapidan River.
1863-Birthday
of journalist Winifred Sweet
Black. She wrote under the
name of Annie Laurie was able to infiltrate Mormon life and expose polygamy
in an 1898 series of articles in the Hearst newspapers. But her greatest accomplishment was disguising
herself as a boy and becoming the only woman reporter on Galveston Island
after the terrible hurricane in 1900.
She, unlike others, didn't only report. Using funds donated by
Heart's readers, she opened and administered a hospital on the island
to aid the displaced and injured.
Another time she faked a collapse to expose graft and mismanagement
in San Francisco's receiving hospital. She got an exclusive interview
with President Benjamin Harrison, and even get into a leper colony in
Hawaii. She also reported on World War I and the Versailles treaty negotiations.
She continued reporting on world events well into her 60s. She died
in 1936.

1890-Birthday
of Dwight David Eisenhower, the 34th president of the US,
born at Denison, Texas. Serving two terms as president, Jan 20,1953-January
20,1961, Eisenhower was the first president to be baptized after taking
office )Sunday, February 1, 1953). Nicknamed “Ike,” he held the rank
of five-star general of the army ( resigned in 1952 and restored by
act of Congress in 1951). He
served as supreme commander of the Allied forces in western Europe during
WW!!. In his Farewell Address (January 17,1961), speaking about the
“conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry,”
he warned: “ In the councils of government, we must guard against the
acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sough or unsought by the
military-industrial complex. The potential of disastrous rise of misplaced
power exists and will persist.” An American hero, Eisenhower died at
Washington, DC., March 287, 1969.

Trying" opened on Broadway.
1962-The Cuban Missile Crisis begins , 1962, bringing the United States and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear conflict. Photographs taken by a high-altitude U-2 spy plane offered incontrovertible evidence that Soviet-made medium-range missiles in Cuba--capable of carrying nuclear warheads--were now stationed 90 miles off the American coastline. Tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union over Cuba had been steadily increasing since the failed April 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, in which Cuban refugees, armed and trained by the United States, landed in Cuba and attempted to overthrow the government of Fidel Castro. Though the invasion did not succeed, Castro was convinced that the United States would try again, and set out to get more military assistance from the Soviet Union. During the next year, the number of Soviet advisors in Cuba rose to more than 20,000. Rumors began that Russia was also moving missiles and strategic bombers onto the island. Russian leader Nikita Khrushchev may have decided to so dramatically up the stakes in the Cold War for several reasons. He may have believed that the United States was indeed going to invade Cuba and provided the weapons as a deterrent. Facing criticism at home from more hard-line members of the Soviet communist hierarchy, he may have thought a tough stand might win him support. Khrushchev also had always resented that U.S. nuclear missiles were stationed near the Soviet Union (in Turkey, for example), and putting missiles in Cuba might have been his way of redressing the imbalance. Two days after the pictures were taken, after being developed and analyzed by intelligence officers, they were presented to President Kennedy. During the next two weeks, the United States and the Soviet Union would come as close to nuclear war as they ever had, and a fearful world awaited
the outcome.

Poem
Red Sox Prayer, 2004
By Joan Morgan, Oklahoma
O' Lord,
If it would not be
too much of an imposition,
I have a special
request of you.
Please shine down
your heavenly rays upon the boys of summer in Beantown.
Make their already
potent bats and lively arms instruments of Holy decimation,
In order to strike
down the Evil Empire.
Deliver us to victory,
Assuage our many
years of anguish,
And lift us to heights
we have not seen since 1918.
Oh, Lord one more
thing:
Watch over the Cubs
too
