Tally ' s War Tally ' s War also called the Skunk River War was an incident in 1863 in Iowa , in which pro - war individuals opened fire on a peace demonstration ; only one person were killed . Cyphert ( or Syphert ) Tally was a pro - peace Baptist minister whose family moved into the Keokuk county , Iowa area from Tennessee in 1840 . During the Civil War , Tally became known in Keokuk County for pro - peace speeches , which sometimes drew an armed audience . On Saturday , August 1 , 1863 , Tally spoke at a Democratic rally near the English river to an audience of hundreds . After the rally , Tally and others of his crowd rode in wagons to the nearby town of South English , Iowa , where a meeting of Republicans had taken place . Tally was warned not to enter the town , but did anyway , to accusations of his cowardice . According to an 1880 recounting of the event , the Democrats in wagons displayed their weapons at these cries to the equally well - armed people in the town . It was said that a town ' s person started the firing . Hundreds of shots were fired , but only Tally died . Tally ' s friends sent out the word of his death widely , and the next day people began to arrive in answer to the news , demanding vengeance . A citizen committee reassured the first hundred who assembled that the guilty party would be sought and brought to justice , but the crowd continued to gather , until hundreds of men had formed by the Skunk River into what would later be known as the Skunk River Army . Several citizens of the town made an excursion to Davenport , Iowa , to appeal to Governor Kirkwood , who travelled with several hundred troops and cannons to the area . While the action brought legends of the terrified retreat of the Skunk River Army , the fact is that the army had all but disbanded before the governor arrived . All told , eleven companies were engaged in quelling uprisings in August 1863 in Keokuk County . No one was indicted for the crime of shooting Tally , although the placement of the wound suggested it was intentionally inflicted . Citizens of the area kept the identity of the shooter to themselves .

Eketorp Eketorp is an Iron Age fort in southeastern Öland , Sweden , which was extensively reconstructed and enlarged in the Middle Ages . Throughout the ages the fortification has served a variety of somewhat differing uses : from defensive ringfort , to medieval safe haven and thence a cavalry garrison . In the 20th century it was further reconstructed to become a heavily visited tourist site and a location for re - enactment of medieval battles . Eketorp is the only one of the 19 known prehistoric fortifications on Öland that has been completely excavated , yielding a total of over 24 , 000 individual artifacts . The entirety of southern Öland has been designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO . The Eketorp fortification is often referred to as Eketorp Castle . History . The indigenous peoples of the Iron Age constructed the original fortification about 400 AD , a period known to have engendered contact between Öland natives with Romans and other Europeans . The ringfort in that era is thought to have been a gathering place for religious and also a place of refuge for the local agricultural community when an outside enemy appeared . The circular design was believed to be chosen because the terrain is so level that attack from any side was equally likely . The original diameter of this circular stone fortification was about . In the next century the stone was moved outward to construct a new circular structure of about in diameter . At this juncture there were known to be about fifty individual cells or small structures within the fort as a whole . Some of these cells were in the center of the fortified ring , and some were actually built into the wall itself . In the late 600s AD the ringfort was mysteriously abandoned , and it remained unused until the early 11th century . This 11th century work generally built upon the earlier fort , except that stone interior cells were replaced with timber structures , and a second outer defensive wall was erected . Modern day situation . Presently the fort is used as a tourist site for visitors to Öland to experience a Mediæval fortification for this region . A museum within the castle walls displays a few of the large number of artefacts retrieved by the National Heritage Board during the major decade long excavation ending in 1974 . Inside the fort visitors are greeted by actors in medieval costume s who assume the roles of period artisans and merchants who might have lived there nine centuries earlier . There are also re - enactment scenes of skirmishes and other dramatic events of daily life from the Middle Ages . Eketorp lies a few kilometers west of route 136 . There is an ample unpaved parking area situated approximately two kilometers west of the paved Öland perimeter highway . There is also a gift shop on site . During peak summer visitation , there are guided tour s available . Visitors are assessed an admission charge .

Delaware in the American Revolution The Delaware Line was a formation within the Continental Army . The term " Delaware Line " referred to the quota of one infantry regiment which was assigned to Delaware at various times by the Continental Congress . This , together with similar contingents from the other twelve states , formed the Continental Line . The concept was particularly important in relation to the promotion of commissioned officers . Officers of the Continental Army below the rank of brigadier general were ordinarily ineligible for promotion except in the line of their own state . Not all Continental infantry regiments raised in a state were part of a state quota , however . On December 27 , 1776 , the Continental Congress gave Washington temporary control over certain military decisions that the Congress ordinarily regarded as its own prerogative . These “ dictatorial powers ” included the authority to raise sixteen additional Continental infantry regiments at large . Early in 1777 , Washington offered command of one of these additional regiments to John Patton of Pennsylvania , who accepted . McLane ’ s Company , originally in Patton ’ s Regiment , was drawn from Delaware . Grayson ’ s , Hartley ’ s , and Patton ’ s Regiments were also partially drawn from Delaware . Still other Continental infantry regiments and smaller units , also unrelated to a state quota , were raised as needed for special or temporary service . The Delaware Regiment was a part of the Continental Army .
