Extractions: U.S. Naval Academy In 1845, the United States Naval Academy Library consisted of 361 books, some of which had been purchased new, but many of which were sent from ships or naval yards around the country in response to a navy-wide request to help build the Library. It is interesting to note that in 1848, Midshipman (and future Commodore) William Penn McCann wrote in a letter to his father: "There is a good library here, especially for Naval scholars." ( Letters from Annapolis: Midshipmen Write Home by Anne Marie Drew, 1998. McCann's original letters are located in the Nimitz Library Special Collections and Archives Division.) The following is a list of some of the books that McCann would have found in the original library collection. These books are now a part of the "Annapolis Collection," located in the Special Collections of the Naval Academy Library. To assist in browsing, we have organized the list into the following broad subject areas: General topics History Travel and Exploration Law ... Engineering , and Naval and Military Science

History B The first European to reach the Great Slave Lake area was English explorer Samuel Hearne. Hearne was an employee of the Hudsonâs Bay Company , an English corporation, and was stationed at Prince of Wales Fort at the mouth of the Churchill River in what is now Churchill, Manitoba. In 1770 the company instructed Hearne to search for the source of rich copper deposits reported near the Arctic Ocean. Chipewyans trading at the fort knew the way to the copper deposit, and in December 1770 their chief, Matonabee, took Hearne on a journey to the copper deposit on the Arctic coast. On their return, Hearne and the Chipewyans spent several months during the winter of 1771 and 1772 at Great Slave Lake, where they hunted caribou and built canoes for the journey back to Prince of Waleâs Fort.

The script is meant to introduce readers to Jason, Medea, Pelias, and the basic plot elements which make up Jason's quest for the legendary golden fleece. Young Jason kindly carries an old woman across a river and looses one of his sandals. King Pelias has been warned to beware a man wearing one sandal, so he wants Jason out of his sight. He agrees to give up his crown if Jason can recapture the golden fleece. Jason sails off in the Argo and with Medea's magical help, finally outsmarts Pelias, the king of Colchis, and a field of fire-breathing dragons to retrieve the fleece. (Grades 6 and Up) (7 Readers).
