penguin chick picture HI EVERYBODY!!

There is a natural order to things down in Antarctica. Penguins mostly keep to ourselves
and try to stay ahead of the ever-present walruses. It's a simple way of life.

See you later!

Below are some of the facts about that fateful battle,
waged by then General Andrew Jackson on the Chalmette Plantation.
The succesful defeat of the British brought an end to the war of 1812 ,
and secured the Lousiana Purchase.

This allowed for eventual settlement along the Mississippi River.
