Perhaps the most dramatic battle ever fought in the United States began on July 1, 1863, be tween the Federal Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George Meade, and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robertt E. Lee. But July also contains many other nostalgic dates, in cluding Independence Day, on the 4th. The Republican Party was founded' at Jackson, Michigan; on July 6, 1854. General Edward Braddock, a 40-year veteran in the Cold stream Guards, came to the colonies in 1754 to defeat the French and Indians and made his famous attack on them in the woods in battle formation. Colonel George Washington, on his staff, had urged Braddock to disperse his forces and fight from tree to tree, but Braddock refused this advice and, in the three hour battle, lost more than half of his British and Amer ican soldiers. Washington managed to conduct a success ful retreat, avoiding a complete rout. On July 12, Protestant Irishmen celebrate Orange Day. It is the anniversary of the Battle of Boyne. On July 1, 1690, the forces of James II, deposed King of England, who had attempted to restore Catholicism as the state re ligion in England, met the forces of William of Orange, who had been named by a convention Parliament to suc ceed James II and invited to invade England from the Netherlands. This battle w as one of the world's most decisive struggles, since it insured the survival of Protestantism in England and in many later colonies, and in the United States. The two armies of William and James II met on the banks of the Boyne River, three miles west of Drog heda, and William's forces decisively defeated those of James II. . Another memorable date in July is that of July 19, 1848, when the first Woman's Suffrage Convention was held in Seneca Falls, N. Y. Sponsors of the, meeting were Lucretia Mott, Martha Wright, Elizabeth Stanton and Ma ry McClintock. A declaration of sentiment: was drafted and signed by one hundred men and women in that meet ing, asserting that women were equal. tP. men and en titled to all rights and privileges of. citizenship,, including the right to hold, property and have a voice in the man agement of children, tiff , ti -Jr V On July 20, 1899, five Italians were lynched at Tal lulah, Louisiana, after they had killed 'a .'''local doctor in retaliation for his killing one of their goats. On the eve ning after the goat was killed, Frank Defatta, and four other Italians, cornered the doctor and mortally wound ed him. The sheriff arrested them, but a mob took them from his possession and hanged them all. Two of the Italians had been charged with similar killings in the past. The Italian Embassy in Washington made an investigation and protested to the U. S. Government, but the Government pointed out that the Federal Government had no jurisdic tion over crimes committed in one of the states, and point ed out to the Italians that if redress was sought, it should be sought from Louisiana. Brigham Young and' his followers arrived in Great Salt Lake Valley in Utah on July 2, 1847, and the political his tory of Utah dates from that time. On July 27, 1886, the first successful Atlantic cable was completed. In Vir ginia, July 30th is well remembered as Crater Day. It was on the morning of July 30, 1864 that a tunnel load ed with powder by Union troops exploded under a Con federate fort, creating what was later called the "Crater." A desperate battle ensued and only through the resort of throwing in every available man, including cooks and non-combat troops, were the Confederates able to restore their thin lines and prevent a breaking open of their de fenses in front of Petersburg. And who could forget what happened in Marshall on Sunday, July 16; 1916? It was on this date that Marshall suffered its worst flood. Churches, stores,- dwellings and thousands of dollars loss in stock and household furnish ings were swept down the French Broad River, which also caused the loss of two lives in Marshall. Last, but not least, it was on July 17, 1937 that my wedding vowb were spoken in Clinton, Tennessee. Al though this date is not too significant nationally, it is a very important date in our memory. Yes, July certainly contains many Perhaps you can think of many more. memorable dates. ftt sjp mi fiur nomw 7 KZZl STATES and dt r-TTUHS on wMMunnfng MsS f " Cntton er CSnton ey' enslnw . "...
