Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle 4th of July Against overwhelming odds

June 29, 2011

Against overwhelming odds

Kevin E. Dayhoff http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4485

Next Monday is Independence Day. For someone like me, who grew up in a small agriculture-based country town in the heartland of the birth of our great nation, the holiday has always had a special meaning. I have often wondered why.

Perhaps it is because the Fourth of July is a part of our nation’s collective historic Zeitgeist, which commemorates the shared common experience of a great nation surviving against overwhelming odds.

As I have grown older and my study of history has intensified, the holiday has only grown in stature and meaning.

History is written by the winners and it is often sanitized and romanticized to an extent that the events portrayed by historical accounts, would be unrecognizable by the participants.

This great experiment we call democracy, freedom and America, should have failed any number of times in history and yet we prevail.

After the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress, which was only a revolutionary government in formation since September 5th, 1774, immediately set about the struggle to form a national government among states that did not get along, delegates that did not like each other, and regions of the colonies that had diametrically opposed interests.

On July 3, 2005, George Will wrote that when General George Washington “arrived... http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4485

Today, the 4th of July is accepted in modern history as the annual holiday commemorating the formal adoption by the Continental Congress of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia.

However, the signing of the Declaration was not completed until August 1776. The holiday was first observed in Philadelphia on July 8, 1776, at which time the Declaration of Independence was read aloud, city bells rang, and bands played.

On July 9, 1777, The Pennsylvania Gazette wrote, “[…] Friday, the 4th of July inst. being the Anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, was celebrated in this city with demonstrations of joy and festivity.

“[…] The evening was closed with the ringing of bells, and at night there was a grand exhibition of fireworks (which began and concluded with thirteen rockets) on the Commons, and the city was beautifully illuminated. Every thing was conducted with the greatest order and decorum, and the face of joy and gladness was universal.”

Independence Day – the 4th of July was not declared a legal holiday until 1941.

Nevertheless, in many respects, the celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 “had a profound impact on the lives of the settlers who lived the area that was to become Carroll County,” observed local historian Jay Graybeal in an article he wrote for the Historical Society of Carroll County many years ago... http://westminster.patch.com/articles/carroll-county-celebrates-its-own-history-on-the-fourth-of-july

Carroll County celebrated the Fourth of July at the Carroll County Farm Museum.

As the temperatures soared in the 90s, the celebrations began at 12 noon at the Farm Museum, 500 S. Center St., Westminster, with music that included the U.S. Navy Band “Country Current,” Carroll Jazz Singers, Carroll County Cloggers, the Elderly Brothers Quartet; a mule-pulled wagon tour of the grounds, crafts, and food.

Later in the evening at 9:30 p.m, the skies over the Farm Museum pond lit-up to everyone’s delight as fireworks soared in to the night sky to celebrate the Fourth in a grand style.

Thousands jammed into the Farm Museum and the adjacent Agriculture Center grounds to view the show.

4th of July at the Shamrock Restaurant

4th of July at the Shamrock Restaurant

July 4, 2009

For the 4th of July my family and I went to the Shamrock Restaurant off Rte 15 in Thurmont, Frederick County, MD, for a delightful meal.

On an entire wall of the restaurant there was an American flag displayed. If I am not mistaken, it was identified as being 20 foot by 38 foot large.

American Sentinel: Manchester 4th of July, 1897

American Sentinel: Manchester 4th of July, 1897

American Sentinel, July 10, 1897.

Manchester — The glorious 4th was pretty generally observed in our town. The stores were closed and work of all kinds generally suspended, while young America, with toy pistol and fire cracker, made all the noise possible.

A pleasant feature of the morning was a parade of juveniles, with horn and drum, marshalled by Mr. C. Miller. The paper cap and tin sword, with plenty of bunting, made a good display.

Master Ross Shower represented Uncle Sam and Hirst Handley the Goddess of Liberty, both with good effect.

A family picnic, in the afternoon, in Miller's woods, north of town, was indulged in by 59 persons and a general good time enjoyed by all.

At night the street was ablaze for quite a time with rockets, wheels and numerous other explosives, which were enjoyed by the crowds, while the Junior Band discoursed some good music in their open air concert.

The Union Bridge 4th of July Celebration in 1920

The 4th of July Celebration in Union Bridge

Union Bridge Pilot, July 9, 1920.

With clear skies and cool weather, no factor except possibly the busy season, could figure against a large attendance at the 4th of July celebration last Monday.

Early in the morning persons from a distance began to arrive and by 9 o'clock when the first game of ball was called, a large audience was present to witness the battle between the "Foremen" and "Operators" teams, about which so much was heard the past few weeks.

The boys, whose ages ranged from 25 to 50 years, put up quite a creditable game and furnished continuous amusement for the vast throng which witnessed it.

At the close the score stood 20 to 7 in favor of the Operators. The Baltimore team which was scheduled to play the local team failed to arrive until noon and the first game was called at 1:30 p.m., ending with a score of 18 to 8 in favor of the locals.

A second game was called at 4:30, but only 5 innings were played when the score stood 4 to 0 in favor of the visiting team.

Easily the most outstanding feature was the army airplane in charge of Lieut. Philips, one of the most daring in the Aviation service. He was expected here at 10 o'clock and great crowds lined the landing field.

It was later learned that he left the Dundalk Fields for Union Bridge at 11:30. But as he lost his bearings he did not arrive here until after 2 o'clock, having been forced to land three times.

He first flew over the field and after performing a number of daring feats, attempted to land but as he considered the field too small, he landed in a field about a mile from town.

After being entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. LaForge, the gasoline supply was replenished, after which he came to town and engaged in the most spectacular loop-the-loops, tailspins, etc., sometimes several thousand feet in the air, and again among the housetops. Another plane which was slated to be here figured in an accident just the day before.
