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

Virginia state trooper killed in crash in King George County

Virginia state trooper killed in crash in King George County
 June 25, 2011

KING GEORGE, VA
A Virginia state trooper died in a car accident that injured two other people Friday night.

Investigators say the crash happened about 6:45 p.m. in the James Madison section of King George County, about 60 miles northeast of Richmond.

Police say the trooper was responding to a call for assistance, when his patrol car collided with another car at the intersection of Route 3 and Madison Drive. Investigators say the impact forced the trooper's car off the road and into a light pole, splitting the cruiser in half.

Investigators say the front end of the squad car then continued into a nearby parking lot, where it struck three parked cars before coming to a stop.

The trooper died on the scene. Police have not yet released his name. The driver and passenger in the other car were taken to Mary Washington Hospital with minor injuries.

The Virginia State Police Accident Reconstruction Team is assisting with the investigation of the crash.~~~

History Unfolding: The disappearance of public life

History Unfolding: The disappearance of public life

SATURDAY, JUNE 25, 2011

The disappearance of public life by David Kaiser

By the time this post appears I plan to be on vacation, but I can predict fairly confidently that Anthony Weiner will no longer be a member of Congress. The scandal surrounding his texts and photos marks a new low in American politics--a new stage in a long process that began, as I recall, in 1987, when Gary Hart was running for President--and which can only get worse as time goes on. And, not for the first time, I have not been able to find a single other commentator who seems willing to introduce some sanity into this particular discussion... http://historyunfolding.blogspot.com/2011/06/disappearance-of-public-life_25.html
