Today 7/19 In HISTORY: 1 - 1799 - The Rosetta Stone was found during Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign. 2 - 1779 - American Revolution - Massachusetts, without consulting either Continental politicians or military authorities, launched a 4,000 man naval expedition commanded by Commodore Dudley Saltonstall. The expedition consisted of 19 warships, 24 transport ships and more than 1,000 militiamen. Their objective was to capture a 750 man garrison at Castine on the Penobscot Peninsula, in what would later become Maine. 3 - 1863 - Civil War - Confederate General John Hunt Morgan’s raid into Union held territory was dealt a serious blow when a large part of his force was captured as they tried to escape across the Ohio River at Buffington Island, Ohio. Cut off from the south, Morgan fled north with the remnants of his command and was captured a week later at Salineville, Ohio. 4 - 1956 - Cold War - The United States announced its withdrawal of funding of the Egyptian Aswan Dam project, driving Egypt further into the Soviet sphere of influence. 5 - 1979 - Two supertankers collided off the coast of Little Tobago in the Caribbean Sea, killing 26 crew members and spilling 289,000 gallons of crude oil into the sea. 6 - 1848 - At the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, New York, a women’s rights convention - the first ever to be held in the United States - convened with almost 200 women in attendance. 7 - 1884 - President Chester Arthur issued a proclamation that grants him and the federal government the power to quarantine person’s entering the United States through its ports of entry to avoid the spread of disease. 8 - 1964 - Vietnam War - On what the South Vietnamese call “The day of shame” - the 10th anniversary of the Geneva Accords that partitioned Vietnam - South Vietnamese Premier Nguyen Khanh, at a rally in Saigon, called for an expansion of the war to North Vietnam. Ambassador Maxwell Taylor and other U.S. officials present declined comment on Khanh’s position, but it was known that the United States regarded this as breaking an agreement to consult with Washington before issuing such a call. 9 - 1919 - World War One - The Cenotaph, a monument to those killed or wounded during the First World War, is unveiled in Whitehall, London, during the first Peace Day celebration. 10 - 1943 - World War Two - The United States bombed railroad yards in Rome in an attempt to break the will of the Italian people to resist - as Hitler lectures their leader Benito Mussolini on how to prosecute the war further. I hope everybody has a wonderful day today and that carol c is successful in selling her yard. As for me I would let someone put their logo on my roof for an annual fee. That was just a lousy attempt at humor that is best left to Stan. Well baseball is back and all you Yankee fans should be overjoyed. The Yankees 4-3 over the Cincinnati Red, The As beat the Os 5-4, and Toronto lost to Texas 5-1. At this point it looks like Toronto is going to fade from the picture they have lost so many over the last couple of weeks. In the National League, the Mets beat the San Diego Padres 5-4. May the good Lord bless you all and as always, keep safe, and keep smiling!
