Book Synopsis Copiah County by : LaTricia M. Nelson-Easley
Download or read book Copiah County written by LaTricia M. Nelson-Easley. This book was released on 2007. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named after a Native American word meaning "calling panther," Copiah County was organized after an agreement was reached with the Choctaw Indians in the Treaty of Doak's Stand in 1820. Located 20 miles from the state capital of Jackson, the county was organized in January 1823 and quickly became an agricultural and manufacturing namesake. Once known as the "Tomato Capital of the World," the county was the location of the largest Chautauqua assemblies in the South and the site of the founding of the Mississippi Parent Teacher Association. The extinct town of Brown's Wells once produced spring water that "healed" the rich and famous. Notable citizens from Copiah County include bluesman Robert Johnson; Maj. R. W. Millsaps, for whom Millsaps College was named; Burnita Shelton Matthews, the first female federal district court judge; Pat Harrison, a former representative and senator; Albert Gallatin Brown, a former governor; and Fannye Cook, an author and the first director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

Book Synopsis Fannye Cook by : Dorothy Shawhan

Book excerpt: Mississippi Chapter of The Wildlife Society Outstanding Book Conservationist Fannye Cook (1889-1964) was the most widely known scientist in Mississippi and was nationally known as the go-to person for biological information or wildlife specimens from the state. This biography celebrates the environmentalist instrumental in the creation of the Mississippi Game and Fish Commission (now called the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks) and the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. To accomplish this feat, Cook led an extensive grassroots effort to implement game laws and protect the state's environment. In 1926 she began traveling the state at her own expense, speaking at county fairs, schools, and clubs, and to county boards of supervisors on the status of wildlife populations and the need for management. Eventually she collected a diverse group of supporters from across the state. Due to these efforts, the legislature created the Mississippi Game and Fish Commission in 1932. Thanks to the formation of the Works Progress Administration in 1935, Cook received a WPA grant to conduct a comprehensive plant and animal survey of Mississippi. Under this program, eighteen museums were established within the state, and another one in Jackson, which served as the hub for public education and scientific research. Fannye Cook served as director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science until her retirement in 1958. During her tenure, she published many bulletins, pamphlets, scientific papers, and the extensive book Freshwater Fishes of Mississippi.
