Today in History: 451 – Attila the Hun captures Metz in France, killing most of its inhabitants and burning the town. Is that as far west as he got? 1798 – The Mississippi Territory is organized from disputed territory claimed by both the United States and the Spanish Empire. It is expanded in 1804 and again in 1812. The show the "Robber Baron's Bride" is sent there. 1805 – Lewis and Clark Expedition: The Corps of Discovery breaks camp among the Mandan tribe and resumes its journey West along the Missouri River. The Journals of Lewis and Clark are a great read. 1926 – Violet Gibson attempts to assassinate Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. If successfult that would have changed history. 1933 – Nazi Germany issues the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service banning Jews and political dissidents from civil service posts. And the civilized world yawned. 1994 – Rwandan genocide: Massacres of Tutsis begin in Kigali, Rwanda, and soldiers kill the civilian Prime Minister Agathe Uwilingiyimana. How comes no one knows this? Not Israel I guess.

Scotland can be a wild place depending where you are.
