September

Second volume in the History in a Year series. September includes daily posts from the Blog of The Conservative Voice, Sydney Conservative, David Daniel Ball. It also includes Wikipedia lists for events, births, deaths and daily holidays and observances. Organised by day, with a forward discussing an aspect of David's Evangelical Christian philosophy. The events are world wide across recorded history. September is about autumn in the North Hemisphere and the season colours the entries. Tragic anniversaries of atrocities like 9/11, or Beslan. But then there is hope too, like the election of Mr Abbott's conservative government following after the worst government in Australia's history. In 1882, Edison invented a hydroelectric power plant. In 1888, Jack the Ripper took his third and fourth victims. We know who Jack was, now. Francis Scott Key completed the Star Spangled Banner. William the Conqueror set sail from the river Somme to found a new line of English Royalty rooted in Norse Myth (CF Niebelungenlied or Ragnar Lothbrok's brother Rollo). The Maya long count calendar started in September.
