As both victims of illness and national leaders, the founders occupied a unique position regarding the development of public health in America. This work refocuses the study of the lives of George and Martha Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John and Abigail Adams, and James and Dolley Madison away from the usual l...

Clinton, Mississippi, is the home of Mississippi College, the states oldest existing institution of higher learning. Clinton produced statesmen such as Walter Leake, writers and artists such as Barry Hannah and Wyatt Waters, and modern celebrities such as Lance Bass and Mandy Ashford. Today Clinton serves as a bedroom community for Jackson. Clinton began as the Mount Dexter trading post on the Old Natchez Trace. The town was founded as Mount Salus in 1823 by Walter Leake, one of Mississippis first U.S. senators and the third governor. Six years later, Clinton fell one vote short of becoming the state capital. Through antebellum prosperity, occupation by Union troops, rebirth as a college community, and growth into a postwar suburban center, Clinton and its people have been marked by independence. This pictorial history is a chronicle of Clintons most indelible individuals, families, and institutions.
Miss Polly and the Crocodile is a quirky and whimsical book. Based in a magical town, the characters face real world problems, with a happy outcome. Challenging expectations and casual judgments, Miss Polly explores themes of peer pressure and forgiveness... and the power of kindness. The story tells of a princess who is no better than she should be and the trouble her behaviour causes for her kingdom in general and for a gifted inventor in particular. Faced with bullying and brattishness there seems little hope, but the very special Miss Polly Dolly and her close friend Mrs Adams - who is not quite what we expect - set about changing things for the better. Enjoy your visit to the magical kingdom of Loopaloo!
Will this really be Polly's worst birthday ever?
