That date was a Wednesday. As usual I used: www.searchforancestors.com/utility/dayofweek.html<br />_______________________________<br /><br />Using www.history.com/this-day-in-history/ I found that this date (15 July)in history included:<br /><br />1) Jul 15, 1789: Lafayette selected colonel-general of the National Guard of Paris - On this day in 1789, only one day after the fall of the Bastille marked the beginning of a new revolutionary regime in France, the French aristocrat and hero of the American War for Independence, Marie-Joseph Paul Roch Yves Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, becomes the colonel-general of the National Guard of Paris by acclamation. <br /><br />2) Jul 15, 1806: Pike expedition sets out - Zebulon Pike, the U.S. Army officer who in 1805 led an exploring party in search of the source of the Mississippi River, sets off with a new expedition to explore the American Southwest. Pike was instructed to seek out headwaters of the Arkansas and Red rivers and to investigate Spanish settlements in New Mexico.<br /><br />3) Jul 15, 1862: CSS Arkansas attacks Union ships - The CSS Arkansas, the most effective ironclad on the Mississippi River, battles with Union ships commanded by Admiral David Farragut, severely damaging three ships and sustaining heavy damage herself.<br /><br />4) Jul 15, 1888: Volcano buries victims in fiery mud - The Bandai volcano erupts on the Japanese island of Honshu on this day in 1888, killing hundreds and burying many nearby villages in ash.<br /><br />5) Jul 15, 1918: Second Battle of the Marne begins with final German offensive - On this day in 1918, near the Marne River in the Champagne region of France, the Germans begin what would be their final offensive push of World War I. Dubbed the Second Battle of the Marne, the conflict ended several days later in a major victory for the Allies.<br />______________________________<br /><br />Using both www.history.com/this-day-in-history/ and www.famousbirthdays.com I found that this date these 'famous' persons were born on 15 July:<br /><br />1) The great Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn is born in Leiden on July 15, 1606, the son of a miller. His more than 600 paintings, many of them portraits or self-portraits, are characterized by rich brushwork and color, and a dramatic interplay of shadow and light.<br /><br />2) Irish Murdoch, author of 26 intellectually rigorous novels, is born on this day in 1919 in Dublin.<br /><br />3) Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, M.S.C., also called Mother Cabrini, was an Italian Religious Sister, who founded the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart, and was born on this day in 1850.<br /><br />4) Clement Clarke Moore was an American Professor of Oriental and Greek Literature, as well as Divinity and Biblical Learning, at the General Theological Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in New York City. He was born on this date in 1779.<br /><br />5) Adolfo Díaz Recinos was the President of Nicaragua between 9 May 1911 and 1 January 1917 and between 14 November 1926 and 1 January 1929. He was born on this date in 1875.Lynn Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02885808956452761511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-41872869351409009662014-05-17T22:57:21.413-07:002014-05-17T22:57:21.413-07:00Here's mine.
