<p>Clement Delor de Treget, a Frenchman, founded Carondelet in 1767 and named the village in honor of Baron Francis Louis de Carondelet, the Spanish governor of the Louisiana Territory. Due to its prime location at the confluence of the River Des Peres and the Mississippi River, Carondelet attracted a wide array of industries and a diverse population where racial lines were often blurred and ethnic groups peacefully coexisted. The community has<br>contributed greatly to American history from the site of construction of the Civil War ironclad boats to the location of the American kindergarten movement. Today the community is striving to preserve its proud heritage and build on the strength of its diverse population. The historic images in this book illustrate the city’s founding and development from the first French settlers to the coming of Germans, Irish, Italians, African Americans, and Spanish, its annexation to the city of St. Louis in 1870, its economic hardships, and its present revitalization.</p>

How I Survived the First Five Years of Teaching: One Teacher's Journey

How I Survived the First Five Years of Teaching is about the struggles an educator faced and how she overcame those struggles in her early days of teaching. The journey begins with the challenges she faced after graduating from college and the difficulties she encountered trying to acquire her first teaching job. It then takes the reader through the different obstacles she confronted each school year. It's a detailed account about how she endured and overcame student misbehavior and disrespect, a lack of support and cooperation from her principal and assistant principal, disrespect from parents, lack of parental support, lack of student motivation, and her battle with depression.
