  strategies, and their understanding of textual
  features (e.g., sound-letter correspondence,
  sentence structure, context, graphics).

George Rogers Clark
George Rogers Clark was born on November 19, 1752
in Albemarle County, Virginia. He grew up in
several different areas of Virginia. He began a
career as a surveyor, and helped explored the
frontier west of Virginia. When a war broke out
in 1774, he served as a captain in the
militia. In 1777, when the Revolutionary War
spread to Kentucky, Clark was one of the leaders
in its defense. In May 1778, he led an expedition
to areas that are in Indiana and Ohio, but then
were part of the frontier. He and his men, along
with 80 civilians, established a communications
post at the Falls of the Ohio on Corn Island. A
year later, the settlers crossed the river to
establish a permanent settlement called
Louisville, after King Louis XVI of France, who
was aiding the American cause.

Bloody Monday
On August 6, 1855, riots broke out in Louisville
when nativists, many of whom were members of the
political party called the Know Nothings,
attempted to prevent others from voting. The
violence that broke out that day was primarily
directed against German and Irish immigrants,
some Protestant and many Catholic. At least 22
were known to have died, scores were injured, and
the homes and businesses of immigrants were
torched. Several churches were threatened,
including St. Martin of Tours, St. Boniface,
Immaculate Conception, St. John, and the
Cathedral of the Assumption. For more
information, you may check this editorial that
appeared in The Record on July 28, 2005
