Botanical History On This Day

1648 On this day, Elias Ashmole, the English antiquary, politician, astrologer, and alchemist, wrote in his diary,

1816 During June, in New England, six inches of snow fell.

1864 On this day, the famous American writer and political reporter, John Beauchamp Jones ("Bo-shamp"), wrote in his journal:

Clear and hot, but with a fine breeze-southwest.

Yesterday, I learn, both sides buried the dead...

What a war, and for what?
