It was fought between Government forces of the Clan Ross against rebel the forces of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan MacRae . Background . During the Jacobite rising of 1715 - 1719 the chiefs of the Highland Clan Ross had supported the British Hanovarian government . The rising of 1715 was ultimately defeated at the Battle of Sheriffmuir and another minor rising defeated at the Battle of Glenshiel in 1719 , where troops from the Clan Ross had fought in support of the government and defeated the likes of the Jacobite Clan Mackenzie . In 1720 two members of the Clan Ross ; William Ross , 6th of Easter Fearn ( ex - Provost of Tain ) and his brother Robert Ross ( ballie of Tain ) had been appointed factors on the estates of Mackenzie of Seaforth , Chisholm and Glenmoriston . The following year in 1721 they went on an expedition to collect rents on these estates . The Rosses set off from Inverness with thirty armed men , picking up a further fifty armed men from Bernera Barracks . The battle . While on their journey to Mackenzie of Seaforth ' s lands in Kintail , the Rosses who were attended by just a small company of soldiers met three hundred men of the Clan Mackenzie and their allies the Clan MacRae in Glen Affric . Historian Alan Mackenzie says that the Rosses were " ambushed " at near Loch Affric . The Mackenzies and MacRaes were commanded by Colonel Donald Murchison of Auchtyre and Lochalsh . The Murchison family being a sept of the Clan Mackenzie , Colonel Donald Murchison was Mackenzie of Seaforth ' s factor who had been collecting rents and sending them to his master in France . A skirmish took place between the two sides in which the Clan Ross was outnumbered . William Ross of Easter Fearn was the first to be wounded by shots fired at him from his right . However he continued to give orders to his troops to advance and clear the ground of lurking clansmen . They had some success in this respect and were able to proceed to a narrow gorge in Kintail which led into Loch Affric , where they were ambushed by Murchison ' s men . William Ross ' s son Walter Ross and also his nephew William Ross ( son of his brother Robert Ross ) were also wounded . Realizing that further resistance was useless William Ross met Colonel Murchison between the lines and discussion took place . The Rosses agreed to return home , promising never again to officiate as factors and as a token of sincerity handed their commissions to Donald Murchison . Aftermarth . Walter Ross died of his wounds . Colonel Murchison insisted on escorting his foes past a thicket where he alleged a " blood thirsty " party from the Clan Cameron lurked . On reaching Beauly , Walter Ross was buried in Beauly Priory . A second unsuccessful attempt was made by government troops to seize Mackenzie of Seaforth ' s lands by force , in which the Battle of Coille Bhan was indecisive .

Soviet submarine S - 13 S - 13 was a " Stalinets " - class submarine of the Soviet Navy . Her keel was laid down by Krasnoye Sormovo in Gorky on 19 October 1938 . She was launched on 25 April 1939 and commissioned on 31 July 1941 in the Baltic Fleet , under the command of Captain Pavel Malantyenko . Service history . In the first half of September 1942 , under Malantjenko ' s command , " S - 13 " sank two Finnish ships , " Hera " and , and a German ship " Anna W " , totaling 4 , 042 tons . On 15 October 1942 , caught on the surface while charging her batteries , " S - 13 " was attacked by the Finnish submarine chasers " VMV - 13 " and " VMV - 15 " . During her crash dive , the submarine hit bottom , severely damaging her rudder and destroying her steering gear . The following depth charge attack worsened the damage , but " S - 13 " escaped and made it back to Kronstadt . During the next three years , Malantyenko was relieved by Alexander Marinesko and " S - 13 " was repaired and returned to sea . Under the command of Marinesko , then 32 , on 30 January 1945 , at Stolpe Bank off the Pomeranian coast , " S - 13 " sank the 25 , 484 - ton German liner " Wilhelm Gustloff " , overfilled with civilians and military personnel , with three torpedo es . Recent estimates calculate that over 9 , 000 people were killed , the worst loss of life in maritime history . Soon after that , " S - 13 " fired at the " T - 36 " , a torpedo boat that had come to the aid of the " Wilhelm Gustloff " . Despite being overloaded with 564 survivors from the " Gustloff " , the captain of " T - 36 " was able to dodge the torpedo . On 10 February 1945 , " S - 13 " sank another German transport ship " Steuben " . 3 , 300 civilians and military personnel from the ship died , and 300 survived .

" S - 13 " was decommissioned on 7 September 1954 and stricken on 17 December 1956 .
Bodkin point A bodkin point is a type of arrowhead . In its simplest form it is an uncomplicated squared metal spike , and was used extensively during the Middle Ages . The typical bodkin was a square - section arrowhead , generally up to 4½ " ( 11 . 5cm ) long and ⅜ " ( 1 cm ) thick at its widest point , tapered down behind this initial " punch " shape . Bodkin arrows complemented traditional broadhead arrows , which continued to be used , as the sharp , wide cutting surface of the broadhead caused more serious wound s and tissue damage than the bodkin arrowhead . History . The name comes from the Old English word " bodkin " or " bodekin " , a type of sharp , pointed dagger . Arrows of the long bodkin type were used by the Vikings and were continued to be used through the Middle Ages . The bodkin point eventually fell out of use during the 16th and 17th centuries . Firearms were beginning to dominate the battlefield and would make infantry armour largely obsolete in the coming centuries , though it was still used to a limited extent as late as the First World War . Armour penetration . It has been suggested that the bodkin came into its own as a means of penetrating armour , but research by the Royal Armouries has found no hardened bodkin points , though only two bodkin points were actually tested , not a statistically relevant number . Bodkins did , however , have greater ability to pierce mail armour than broadheads , and historical accounts do speak of bodkin arrows shot from close range piercing plate armour . Broadheads were made from steel , sometimes with hardened edges , but were more often used against lightly armoured men or horses than against an armoured adversary . In a modern test , a direct hit from a steel bodkin point penetrated Damascus chain armour , although at point blank range . However , the test was conducted without a padded jack or gambeson , which was layered cloth armour worn over heavier armour for protection against projectiles , as it was known to stop even heavy arrows . Armour of the Medieval eras was not completely proof against arrows until the specialised armour of the Italian city - state mercenary companies . Archery was thought not to be effective against plate armour in the Battle of Neville ' s Cross ( 1346 ) , the siege of Bergerac ( 1345 ) , and the Battle of Poitiers ( 1356 ) ; such armour became available to European knights of fairly modest means by the late 14th century , though never to all soldiers in any army . Some recent tests have demonstrated that needle bodkins could penetrate all but heavy steel plate armour ; one test used padded " jack " armour , coat of plates , iron and steel mail and steel plate . A needle bodkin penetrated every type , but may not have been able to inflict a lethal injury behind plate .

Thomas O ' Reilly , a prominent Irish - born Cape politician , commanded the CTIVR . The CTIVR was never a large unit ( its greatest strength , in 1888 , was only 214 all ranks ) , and in 1891 it was taken over by the Duke of Edinburgh ' s Own Volunteer Rifles .
Bibliography of the Lewis and Clark Expedition This is a bibliography of literature dealing with the Lewis and Clark Expedition .

Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson and led by two Virginia - born veterans of Indian wars in the Ohio Valley , Meriwether Lewis and William Clark , the expedition had several goals . Their objects were both scientific and commercial – to study the area ' s plants , animal life , and geography , and to discover how the region could be exploited economically . According to Jefferson himself , one goal was to find a " direct & practicable water communication across this continent , for the purposes of commerce with Asia " ( the Northwest Passage ) . Jefferson also placed special importance on declaring U . S . sovereignty over the Native Americans along the Missouri River , and getting an accurate sense of the resources in the recently completed Louisiana Purchase .

Conquest of Adrianople by the Turks The date and circumstances of the conquest of Adrianople by the Turks are obscure and debated among scholars . The dates proposed range from 1361 to 1371 . Some authors make the hypothesis that the city was reconquered and that there were two different sieges . There is no evidence about the identity of the Turk leader and his allegiance . According to Halil İnalcık , the conquest was made in 1361 by Murad I ( then a prince ) . Other historians favour 1369 , the siege being directed by Turkish beys only nominally vassals to the Ottomans ( since from 1366 to 1377 the communications were broken between Thrace and Anatolia ) . The Ottomans could then perhaps have taken direct control of the city only in the late 1370s .
Fort Griffin Fort Griffin State Historic Site was a Cavalry fort established in the late 1860s in the northern part of West Texas , specifically northwestern Shackelford County , to give settlers protection from early Comanche and Kiowa raids . It was named for Charles Griffin , a former Civil War Union general who had commanded the Department of Texas during the early years of Reconstruction . The fort was officially opened in 1867 , and served as a step - off point for many expeditions headed westward , and for a time it had a substantial settled community that built up around it , catering to passing wagon trains and military personnel that sought saloon s for recreation on their down time . It is northeast of Abilene , the seat of Taylor County . By 1870 , a very rough town called " The Flat " sprang up just north of Fort Griffin , which eventually became a stop off point for cattle drives headed north to Dodge City , Kansas . During that time , several notable characters and gunfighter s of the Old West drifted through , including Wyatt Earp , Doc Holliday , Dave Rudabaugh , and the brothers Bat and Jim Masterson . John Selman , who eventually became known for killing outlaw John Wesley Hardin , worked there and in the surrounding county as a deputy sheriff . Following the Red River War of 1874 , the Comanche and Kiowa threat on the prairie s waned , and Fort Griffin was eventually closed . There are still remnants of the fort . The fort was also the beginning of the Mackenzie Trail , which stretched across West Texas to Fort Sumner , New Mexico . On January 1 , 2008 , Fort Griffin was transferred from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to the Texas Historical Commission . During the last two weekends of June , the " Fort Griffin Fandangle " , a western musical production , is presented by residents of Albany in the Prairie Theater . The program , the content of which is changed each year , began in 1938 and is billed as " Texas ' Oldest Outdoor Musical " . In addition , a portion of the official state herd of Texas longhorns is maintained at Fort Griffin .
