On July 8, 1863, Maj. Henry A. Cole, of Cole's Rangers,
was named provost marshal in Frederick.

On July 8, 1914, Gen. John Floyd King, who fought in
the Battle of Monocacy for the Confederacy, toured the
battlefield the day before the first Confederate marker
was dedicated on the site.

On July 8, 1922, President and Mrs. Warren Harding
passed through Frederick on their return trip to
Washington after a homecoming reception in Marion,
Ohio. A week earlier they had stopped at "Richfield,"
the birthplace of Adm. Winfield Scott Schley.

If anyone can add information to these History Moments,
or would like to suggest an item for another calendar day,
please contact me privately.
