On This Day In History 07/12/1862

President Abraham Lincoln signed a piece of legislation establishing the Medal of Honor for the U.S. Army, marking the birth of the nation's highest military decoration for valor. At first, only soldiers involved in the Andrews' Raid during the Civil War received this prestigious award.

This act of valor recognition underlined the bravery and sacrifice of countless men. Today, the Medal of Honor is awarded sparingly, a rare emblem of extraordinary heroism.

Imagine your boss sliding a fifty-dollar bill across the table. He bets you can't write a bestselling book using only 50 different words. This very challenge was presented to Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, in 1960. Bennett Cerf, the founder of Random House, made this $50 wager. Dr. Seuss accepted. He worked diligently to create a story using exactly 50 distinct words. The book born from this bet was "Green Eggs and Ham," released on August 12, 1960. It went on to become an iconic and top-selling children's classic. This achievement highlighted Dr. Seuss's extraordinary ability to create compelling narratives within significant limitations.

Did you know that every member of Lyndon B. Johnson's immediate family—including his dog—shared his initials, LBJ?

Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th U.S. President, is noted for this rather unique family characteristic.

His wife, Claudia Alta Taylor, was widely known as Lady Bird Johnson. Their two daughters were named Lynda Bird Johnson and Luci Baines Johnson, maintaining the L.B.J. pattern.

Even the family's beagle was brought into the fold, named Little Beagle Johnson.

This consistent use of the initials, while the full extent of its deliberateness for branding is not entirely clear from historical records, certainly added a memorable dimension to President Johnson's public image. It has been suggested that this may have been partly inspired by his admiration for Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was also famously known by his initials, FDR.

At 49 years old, one man embarked on a challenge that many would deem impossible, a testament to remarkable endurance and commitment.

In 2011, Belgian athlete Stefaan Engels became the first person officially recognized by Guinness World Records for running 365 marathons in 365 consecutive days. His journey covered an astonishing 9,569 miles and spanned seven different countries.

Engels maintained that his goal was to inspire, stating, "I am not an exceptional sportsman. My message is that if I can do it, everyone can do it – maybe not 365 marathons, but something that pushes their own limits."

His feat highlighted what can be achieved with consistent effort and a determined mindset. While other runners have since surpassed this number, such as Ricardo Abad Martínez of Brazil who completed 366 marathons in 2022-2023, Engels paved the way.

It's important to note that Guinness World Records has strict criteria for such attempts. Races must be public, organized events, officially timed, and independently witnessed to qualify for verification. This ensures the legitimacy of these incredible displays of human endurance.

A plant lost for 2,000 years—once worth its weight in silver and rumored to have unique properties—has allegedly been found in Turkey. But did the Romans truly wipe it out? 🤔

Silphium, a plant highly valued in ancient Greece and Rome for medicinal, culinary, and contraceptive purposes, was declared extinct by the 1st century AD.

Ancient accounts, including Pliny the Elder’s *Natural History*, suggest its extinction was due to overharvesting and possible climate shifts.

In 2022, Turkish researcher Mahmut Miski identified *Ferula drudeana*—a plant with yellow flowers, thick stalks, and notable medicinal properties—as a potential survivor of the legendary silphium. 🌿

Chemical analysis revealed *Ferula drudeana* contains compounds with anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and contraceptive potential, aligning with some historical descriptions of silphium's uses.

However, the original silphium was known to grow in Cyrenaica (modern Libya), while *Ferula drudeana* was discovered in Turkey. This geographic difference has raised questions among scholars.

Some researchers suggest *Ferula drudeana* might be a related species rather than the exact plant described in antiquity. The academic debate about its precise identity continues.

Two royal astronomers Hsi and Ho charted the heavens for the Chinese emperor. In ancient China the sky was seen as a divine map and a solar eclipse a dire omen of divine displeasure that could undermine the emperor's rule. According to the Shu Ching, on October 22 2137 BC an eclipse occurred when the sun and moon were not in harmony. Lacking proper rites as darkness fell, panic spread through the court and the emperor ordered their ex*****on. The tale stands as a powerful reminder of the link between astronomy, political authority and divine favor.

As ISIS bulldozed ancient cities, a monk smuggled a hard drive through checkpoints—stuffed with digital copies of 1,200-year-old manuscripts.

This recent effort echoes an older mission started decades earlier during a different kind of global tension.

Back in 1965 AD, Benedictine monks from Minnesota initiated a vast preservation project amidst Cold War fears.

They carefully microfilmed 85,000 significant Western manuscripts stored in European libraries, safeguarding them from the potential threat of nuclear destruction. 📚

Decades later, Father Columba Stewart, also a Benedictine monk, adapted this mission to confront modern dangers.

Working with local partners, his team risked entering active conflict zones like Iraq and Syria.

They raced against time to digitize irreplaceable ancient texts, rescuing them from the destruction threatened by ISIS forces. 💾

Separated by decades and using different technologies, these dedicated monks shared a profound commitment to preserving invaluable cultural and historical heritage for the future. 🙏

Rescued from a cupboard after 500 years, one medieval woman's raw testimony reveals a profound faith.

Margery Kempe lived in England around 1373 AD to after 1438 AD.

Though illiterate, she dictated her life story, creating what is considered the earliest surviving autobiography in the English language, titled *The Book of Margery Kempe*, between 1436 and 1438 AD.

Her book details her spiritual experiences, intense weeping for Christ, extensive pilgrimages across Europe and to the Holy Land, and the visions she claimed to receive.

She detailed her struggles and the skepticism she faced, but remained steadfast in her devotion. 🙏

The single manuscript copy of her book was lost for centuries, only rediscovered by chance in 1934 inside a cupboard in a country house.

This remarkable text offers a rare, personal glimpse into the fervent religious life of the medieval period through the eyes of a unique woman. 📖✝️

Amidst Pearl Harbor's hellfire, an unlikely hero emerged – a Navy cook who grabbed a machine gun and fought with the heart of a lion.

On December 7, 1941, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Dorie Miller was serving as a Mess Attendant Third Class aboard the USS West Virginia.

Due to the segregation policies of the time, Black sailors like Miller were generally restricted to non-combat roles and received no combat training.

Despite this, during the attack, Miller first aided his mortally wounded captain, Mervyn Bennion, carrying him to a safer position.

He then manned an unattended .50-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun, a weapon he hadn't been trained to use, firing at attacking Japanese planes until his ammunition was exhausted.

While accounts vary, official records credit Miller with potentially downing one or two enemy aircraft, though he humbly stated he thought he 'got one'.

For his bravery under fire, Miller became the first African American recipient of the Navy Cross, one of the Navy's highest honors. ⚓🇺🇸🎖️

Tragically, Miller's service ended when he was killed in action in November 1943, aboard the es**rt carrier USS Liscome Bay when it was sunk by a Japanese submarine.

The Shipwrecked Spaniard Who Became a Mayan War Hero ⚔️

In 1511, a Spanish sailor named Gonzalo Guerrero was shipwrecked off the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. What began as a disaster would turn into one of the most extraordinary transformations in history.

After surviving nearly two weeks adrift, Guerrero and his fellow castaways washed ashore—only to be captured by the Maya. Most of his companions were sacrificed to the gods. But Guerrero’s fate was different.

Kept as a slave, he endured—but he also learned, adapted, and earned the respect of his captors. Over time, he rose to become a free man, a respected warrior, and a trusted war captain (nakom) under a local Mayan lord named Nachan Can.

He didn’t just join the Maya. He became one of them—tattooed, pierced, and battle-hardened. Guerrero married a noble Mayan woman and fathered some of the first mestizo children in the New World.

When the Spanish returned, led by Hernán Cortés, they tried to reclaim their lost soldier. But Guerrero refused. He had a new people, a new family, and a new identity—and he would die defending them.

In 1532, Gonzalo Guerrero fell in battle fighting against the very empire he was born into. His legacy lives on as a symbol of resilience, cultural transformation, and chosen loyalty.

He wasn’t just a survivor.
He was a warrior who changed sides—and history.

The Black Detective Who Infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan — And Got a Membership Card Signed by David Duke

In 1978, Ron Stallworth made history as the first Black detective in the Colorado Springs Police Department. But what he did next was beyond anything anyone could have imagined.

One day, he came across a K*K recruitment ad in the local newspaper. Instead of ignoring it, Stallworth picked up the phone and called—using his real name.

Over a series of calls, he built a convincing undercover persona as a white supremacist, impressing Klan leaders so thoroughly that he was soon speaking directly with Grand Wizard David Duke.

There was only one problem: Stallworth obviously couldn’t meet them face to face. So, he brought in a white narcotics officer to play his physical stand-in. Together, they became one man—on paper and in person.

The ruse worked so well that David Duke personally approved Stallworth’s Klan membership and mailed him an official, signed K*K card, which Stallworth kept as a chilling but powerful trophy—for years.

But this wasn’t just a stunt. The undercover operation exposed multiple hate-fueled plots, including a plan to bomb a local gay bar. Stallworth and his team saved lives, brought the truth to light, and disrupted dangerous extremists hiding in plain sight.

His bravery went unknown for decades—until he told his story, which later inspired the Oscar-winning film BlacKkKlansman.

Ron Stallworth didn’t just outsmart the Klan.
He used truth, courage, and strategy to fight hate from within.

The $18 Million Maple Syrup Heist That Shocked Canada 🍁💰

Between 2011 and 2012, in a quiet warehouse with no cameras or guards, a ring of thieves pulled off one of the most unusual heists in modern history — stealing nearly 10,000 barrels of maple syrup, worth over $18 million.

The target? Canada’s Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve, a real facility in Quebec that stores the country’s most precious export — often dubbed liquid gold.

Over several months, the thieves—led by mastermind Richard Vallières—used rented trucks and simple tools to siphon off massive quantities of syrup under the radar. They even refilled some barrels with water or left them empty to cover their tracks.

The scheme went undetected until an inspector noticed something strange: one barrel felt too light. That small discovery unraveled an operation that had already shipped stolen syrup across borders into the black market.

But how did such a heist become possible?

The answer lies in the structure of the maple syrup industry itself. The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers operates much like a cartel—controlling production quotas and setting high prices. This strict regulation unintentionally gave rise to a thriving black market, where illegal syrup could be sold for major profits.

In the end, multiple arrests were made, and over a dozen people were convicted. Still, a large portion of the syrup was never recovered, vanishing into the underground market.

What started as a quiet, unguarded warehouse turned into a cautionary tale — not just about theft, but about the unintended consequences of tightly controlled markets.
