Daisy and the Girl Scouts
- The Story of Juliette Gordon Low
by Fern G. Brown
An excellent biography about Mrs. Low with emphasis on her childhood.
Particularly uplifting is the courage she showed when her hearing
was lost and her marriage faltered, plus her drive and determination
to do good things for young girls. As a child her uncle gave
her the nickname which stuck throughout her life, Daisy. The
book concludes with this paragraph: "Daisy's courage and
spirit despite her ill health, deafness, and advancing years
continue to be an inpiration to the girls of the world. Her goal,
and the goal of the Girl Scout movement, was to help each girl
to think big, to discover and develop the possibilities within
her and in the world around her..."

Juliette Low Girl Scout Founder by
Helen Boyd Higgins
"You can't go wading,
Daisy Gordon," shouted Randy. "You go with the other
girls. It's not ladylike." Daisy paid no attention. The
water was cold. A high wind made tiny waves in it. Suddenly she
saw a tiny animal bobbing along ahead of her. She started after
it...."
Find out what happened next as you
share the childhood adventures of the young girl from Savannah,
Georgia, who grw up to found the Girls Scouts. Back in the 1860s
"Daisy" Gordon would rather climb a tree and ride a
horse than learn to dance and sew. "There's not one thing
I can't do that boys can," said Daisy, and the organization
she created years later proved her words.

A Cartoon of the
District of Columbia Flashbacks
Volume One Patrick M.
Reynolds brings history
to life with a sense of humor. His exciting drawings put you
on the scene with the conflicts, madness, plus the wheeling and
dealing that resulted in the location and construction of the
U.S. capital city. This book covers the early history of DC from
1776 to 1863. You'll be surprised at how many cities served as
the U.S. capital; you'll be amazed that the city was built--despite
all the bickering, petty jealousies, and down-right stupidity.
