20100409 A frustrating day. Like Robert Johnson said, stones in my passway. Rockslides in the Great Smoky Mountains and in southeastern Tennessee. Reversals, backtracks, retreat into Georgia like Sherman's initial push. Chickamauga Speedway. . . .19420409 Bataan falls to the Japanese. The "Bataan Death March" begins, as the captives are taken to detention camps in the north. Corregidor, in the middle of Manila Bay, remains a final point of resistance. . . .18650409 Robert E Lee surrenders at Appomattox Courthouse. . . .18560409 Representative William H Seward speaks in Congress in favor of immediate acceptance of statehood for KS under the Topeka constitution; motion effectively quenched by Douglas.
