1863 General Joseph Hooker replaced Burnside as head of Army of
Potomac.
General Hooker also fought here in
Marietta in 1864, if I remember correctly, at Kolbs' Farm.
The General also initiated the
practice of bringing wild women to entertained his troops, on one on one
relationships, if you know what I mean. Thus Hooker's name, HOOKER was a new slang name for prostitutes.
1947 Al Capone Chicago gangster, dies of syphilis at 48.
Maybe Al "Scarface" Capone believed in Teddy
Roosevelt's saying, "Speak softly and carry a big stick, A big swollen stick
that is."
Today is AFRMA Fancy Rat &; Mouse
Day.
I have no idea what AFRMA is.
