Some people believe that only the powerful and evil (not to say that they are one of the same) will be remembered years after they have died. There are exceptions to the rule, Samuel Keefer (1811-1890) for instance.
Keefer was born on this day 199 years ago today to a world where the bloody Casas Revolt began in San Antonio, Texas and the Battle of Lissa which took the lives of many.
