PAWZ is very thankful for our friends at Daughters of the American Revolution! The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote Historic Preservation, Education, and Patriotism across the United States. Today, they donated a copy of the book Henry and the Cannons to our media center. We look forward to sharing this book with our readers!
