Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche , October 15th 1844, was a German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy.

He became the youngest ever to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in 1869 at the age of 24. Nietzsche resigned in 1879 due to health problems that plagued him most of his life; he completed much of his core writing in the following decade. In 1889 at age 44, he suffered a collapse and afterward, a complete loss of his mental faculties. He lived his remaining years in the care of his mother until her death in 1897 and then with his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. Nietzsche died in 1900.

General Pulaski Memorial Day on October 11th, honors a Polish hero of the American Revolution.

The day is set aside in the United States to recognize Casimir Pulaski, a Polish immigrant. Over two centuries ago, he joined the Continental Army and soon rose in the ranks to Brigadier General.

Alongside General George Washington, he built a legacy that included raising an arm of the colonial military as yet undeveloped – the cavalry. As such, he became known as the father of the American cavalry.

While only 15 years-old, Pulaski earned battle experience when his homeland of Poland and Russia went to war. He later immigrated to the British Colonies after meeting Benjamin Franklin in Paris. It was Pulaski’s experience on the battlefield and his perseverance that gained General Washington’s trust. However, Pulaski would not see the end of the war. Injured in battle, he died wounds suffered at the Siege of Savannah on October 9, 1779. General Pulaski died a few days later on October 11th.

The day also honors Polish immigrants and their descendants across the country. Generations have contributed to the founding of the United States, and its continued growth. Whether through service in the Armed Forces or skilled labor, innovation, or the arts, their enduring heritages lives on.

The Southern Theater during the American Revolution was known for its intense guerilla fighting between Loyalist and Patriot colonists living in the Carolinas and Georgia.

October 7th, 1780, the Battle of King’s Mountain occurred between Patriot militias under William Campbell, Issac Shelby, and James Williams and British Loyalist troops under Patrick Ferguson. The battle is known as the first all-American battle in US military history because all the fighters were from the American colonies. The Patriot troops, who became known as “Overmountain Men” launched an assault on all four sides of British troops on a series of hills called King’s Mountain. Ferguson was killed in an attempt to rally his troops, thus changing the tide of the war in the Southern Theater.

October 4th, 1957 - The USSR launches the first man-made object into orbit, and the first of several Sputnik satellites.
About 20 inches in diameter with four 9.5 foot long antennae, the satellite payload would be launched aboard a carrier rocket derivative of the R-7 Semyorka ICBM.

Sputnik would send out beeps through a radio transmitter which could be heard as the satellite passed overhead. The batteries for the transmitter lasted a total of 22 days. Sputnik would continue to live in orbit until January 1958, before reentering the atmosphere.

Sputnik continues to be remembered as the trigger of the space race between the USSR and United States during the Cold War, but also as a significant piece of technology that paved the way for continued advances in understanding space, and spaceflight.

On October 3, 1900, Thomas Wolfe, the famed writer from Asheville, was born. Wolfe attended public schools in Asheville for seven years while living in his mother’s boardinghouse with the rest of his family.

Growing up in Asheville formed the basis for his thinly-veiled autobiographical novel Look Homeward, Angel, which was published in 1929. Asheville residents easily recognized themselves in the text, and Wolfe received letters from irate readers who felt wrongly portrayed in the book. It was 1937 before he would return to his childhood home, having published many short stories and a second novel, Of Time and the River, in the meantime. Although he planned to spend the summer writing in a rented cabin, Wolfe worked little, being constantly disturbed by visitors and undergoing family strife. He began to ponder the many implications of the phrase “You can’t go home again,” the title of a novel that would be published in 1940, two years after his death.

His mother’s former boardinghouse known as the “Old Kentucky Home,” made famous as “Dixieland” in his first novel, is now a State Historic Site.
