Austin Peay State University History Department helps remember War of 1812 at local conference
Clarksville, TN – In terms of notoriety, the War of 1812 isn’t nearly as popular with the general public as, say, the American Revolution or the Civil War.
But the conflict did have a pivotal impact on the United States, giving us the national anthem, Gen. Andrew Jackson and even Tennessee’s nickname as the “Volunteer State.”
Dr. Kristofer Ray, APSU assistant professor of history, Deanna Carter, APSU graduate student, and Dr. Donald Hickey, Wayne State College professor of history, meet at the Tennessee, the Atlantic World and the War of 1812 symposium in Nashville.

Donation Challenge for Norman “Noodles”
Clarksville, TN – The Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery County pulled me from Montgomery County Animal Control yesterday morning. I just wasn’t feeling as chipper as a pup my age should, and my foster mom noticed right away.
I tested positive for PARVO, but fortunately they caught it early and I have been given a really good prognosis. This is a scary virus though and a lot of my puppy friends die from it every year, so I have to stay at the hospital over the weekend for IV fluids, antibiotics and monitoring to make SURE I receive around-the-clock care.
Yesterday… waiting for test results at the clinic.
