             In the first half of nineteenth century,the U.S.government decided that it needed to set up a system for protecting its coastline.It then began building a series of forts along the coast of the eastern part of the country to facilitate its defenses.
            The largest of these forts was Fort Jefferson,which was begun in 1846.This fort was built on Garden Key,one of a cluster of small coral islands 70 miles west of Key West.At the time of its construction,Fort Jefferson was believed to be of primary strategic importance to the United States because of its location at the entryway to the Gulf of Mexico.Because of its location at the entrance to a great body of water,it became known as the Gibraltar of the Gulf,in reference to the island located at the mounth of the Mediterranean.The fort itself was a massive structure.It was hexagonal in shape,with 8-foot-thick walls,and was surrounded by a medieval-style moat for added security.Covering most of the Garden Key,it was approximately half a mile in circumference.
            In the latter half of the nine teenth century,during the Civil War and its aftermath,the fort was used as a prison rather than a military installation.The most notorious of its prisoners was Dr.Samuel Mudd,a physician who was most probably innocently involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.The actual assassin,John Wilkes Booth,broke his leg as he lept from the stage of the Ford Theather during the assassination.Dr.Mudd set Booth's broken leg,unaware of Booth's involvement in the assassination.As a result of this action Dr.Mudd was sentenced to life in prison and remanded to Fort JeffersonHe was pardoned after only four years because of his courageous efforts in combatting an epidemic of yellow fever that ravaged the fort.
            Continuous use of Fort Jefferson ended in the 1870s,although the U.S.Navy continued with sporadic use of it into the twentieth century.Today,the massive ruins still remain on the tiny island that stands guard over the entrace to the gulf,undisturbed except for the occasional sightseer who ventures out from the coast to visit.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic ...

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for...

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived...
