On September 23, 1875, Billy the Kid was arrested for the first time
after stealing a basket of laundry. He later broke out of jail and
roamed the American West, eventually earning a reputation as
an outlaw and murderer and a rap sheet that allegedly included
21 murders.

Amid much public excitement, American explorers Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark returned to St. Louis, Missouri, from
the first recorded overland journey from the Mississippi River
to the Pacific coast and back. The Lewis and Clark Expedition
had set off more than two years before to explore the territory
of the Louisiana Purchase.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is a 246-square-mile
United States military training facility in Jacksonville,
North Carolina.

Its 14 miles of beaches make the base a major area for
amphibious assault training, and its location between
two deep-water ports (Wilmington and Morehead City)
allows for fast deployments.

The main base is supplemented by six satellite facilities:
Marine Corps Air Station New River, Camp Geiger, Stone
Bay, Courthouse Bay, Camp Johnson, and the Greater
Sandy Run Training Area.  

The Marine Corps port facility is in Beaufort, at the southern
tip of Radio Island (between the NC State Port in Morehead
City, and the marine science laboratories on Pivers Island
in Beaufort). It is occupied only during military port operations.

In November 2022,  it will be hosting a basketball event called
the Armed Forces Classic. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued a

the Civil War as a fight against slavery.
