Anniversary of Ruyter and Rufus King in history
April 29 marks the death anniversaries of Admiral Michael Ruyter and Rufus King. Ruyter, born 1603, led Dutch naval victories to defend Holland and died 1676 off the Italian coast. King, born 1755 in Scarborough, helped shape early U S policy as a Federalist leader and anti slavery advocate, dying on Long Island. The 1862 sewing machine patent for leather shoes by Gordon McKay spurred the U S boot and shoe industry. A biblical lampoon line ends with Lot’s wife turning to salt, noting a cautionary adage.
