A photograph details the ravages caused by disease in Civil War soldiers.

Private Samuel Wires joined the 137th Indiana Volunteer Infantry on May 26, 1864. He was 17-years-old and weighed 150 lbs. Shortly after his enlistment, he contracted typhoid fever.
When he was medically discharged from the army on September 21, 1864, he weighed little more than 90 lbs.

This photograph was taken three weeks after he returned home, showing Wires in a frail condition but putting on the brave face of a soldier.

In February 1862, during the battle of Fort Donelson, Battery D of the 1st Illinois Light Artillery, also known as McAllister’s Battery, was assigned to the hills opposite Confederate artillery consisting of Porter’s Battery, Graves Battery (Tour Stop #7) and Maney’s Battery.

McAllister’s Battery had three iron 24-pounder howitzers that fought with distinction during the battle. The 24-pounder howitzer was one of the heaviest guns used in the field at that time, and it was phased out for the more useful 12-pounder Napoleon later in the war. Unfortunately for McAllister and his men, their guns fell into the hands of the Confederates during the breakout attempt on the morning of February 15th. This loss was due, in part, to Union forces being pushed back by the Confederate infantry. Losses of horses and men needed to move these heavier guns made it very difficult to maneuver in the snow-covered, hilly terrain and thick underbrush.

With the Confederate withdrawal from the breakout area on the night of February 15th, and the surrender of General Simon B. Buckner and Confederate forces to General Ulysses S. Grant on the morning of February 16th, McAllister regained possession of his guns, though two of them were disabled.

On March 3, 1862, Grant wrote to William T. Sherman in Paducah, Kentucky: “I send by the City of Memphis three iron 24 pounders, belonging to McAllister’s Battery. These guns are somewhat out of order, besides being heavy and cumbersome for the field. May I ask that you exchange them for the brass 24’s at Paducah? I ask this at the suggestion of Gen. Totten who is now here. If you will make the exchange please send them up the Tennessee as soon as practicable.”

With this request, McAllister was sent four “lighter” and easier to move 24-pounder bronze howitzers. These became very important for an upcoming engagement – one that would take place on the bloody battlefield of Shiloh on April 6th and April 7th, 1862.

April 1985, Concorde flies supersonic. This is the only picture ever taken of Concorde flying at Mach2, 1,350 mph. It was taken from a Royal Air Force Tornado, which rendezvoused with Concorde briefly to the south of Ireland. Although the Tornado could match (and even exceed) Concorde's cruising speed it could only do so for a matter of minutes due to the enormous rate of fuel consumption. After racing to catch Concorde and struggling to keep up, the Tornado broke off the rendezvous after just four minutes, while Concorde cruised serenely on to JFK.

Evader Holyfield, forgiven spirit
When you are successful in life, you can easily forget the past misdeeds

'Mike didn't apologize for his actions right there in the ring, nor immediately afterwards but later on he did, and we shook hands over it. We're the best of friends today and sometimes meet at big fights. He's a good guy. Do I forgive Tyson for biting my ears? Of course I do. If not, I would be a very angry person and I'm not. The incident doesn't bother me at all. You have to forget such things and move on. Momma brought me up to forgive and forget. But I don't think Mike has forgiven himself. He still thinks he's a bad man but he's not.'

- Evander Holyfield

3 Godfathers 1948

Fugitive bank robbers Robert (John Wayne), William (Harry Carey Jr.) and Pedro (Pedro Armendáriz) stand at a desert grave. Caring for the newborn infant of the woman they just buried will ruin any chance of escape. But they won't go back on their promise to her. They won't abandon little Robert William Pedro. Director John Ford's Western retelling of the Biblical Three Wise Men tale remains a scenic and thematic masterpiece. Ford adds color to his feature-film palette, capturing stunning vistas via cinematographer Winton C. Hoch, who would win two of his three Academy Awards for Ford films. Again, populist-minded Ford asserts that even men of dissolute character can follow that inner star of Bethlehem to their own redemption.
