This Day in History: June 4

June 4, 1778: “Today I was ordered to No. 10, but was taken along on this expedition. At the ruined inn called the Risin Sun, to which the command marched, I was detached with 15 men to a hill on the right side of the road where I place 5 sentinels.”
—Journal of Lieutenant John Charles Philip von Krafft, pp. 38-39. [More]
