            Apple Almanac Volume Two
            by Patrick M. Reynolds Here is another beautiful full-color
            book which begins with the Battle of Kip's Bay where General
            Washington totally lost his cool, and almost the war; followed
            by the inside story of his first inauguration. Find out how Tiffany
            got into the gem business, how Currier and Ives made great pictures...and
            speaking of pictures, see how Thomas Edison invented motion pictures
            and started the movie business, and how vaseline originated at
            an oil derrick, why they drop the ball on New Year's, and Milton
            Hershey's disastrous start in the candy biz. Here are stories
            behind some obscure, but important firsts: gynecologist, woman
            doctor, phone company, taxi cabs, skywriter, fire engine, and
            the first and only woman Medal of Honor recipient. There
            are special sections on the great blizzard of 1888, and the Parade
            of the Pooper-Scoopers. 11¾" x 7" 109 pages, index, fully illustrated,
