Battle on Bunker and Breeds hills 250 years ago today
Gage surveys the positions with a spyglass as a Bostonian tells him he recognizes the front-line commander as his former brother-in-law, William Prescott. “Will he fight?” Gage asks. “Yes, sir,” he’s told. “He’s an old soldier, and will fight as long as a drop of blood remains in his veins.” 5/5

🌟 Honoring Purvis Short 🌟
Hattiesburg’s own Purvis Short made his mark at Blair High School, leading them to a state title in 1974 before becoming a Jackson State legend & NBA star. A scoring machine with a signature high-arching jumper, he later helped athletes beyond the game.

Bix and His Rhythm Jugglers record two songs. “Toddlin' Blues” is a Dixieland jazz number; Beiderbecke's own composition, "Davenport Blues," named for his hometown of Davenport, Iowa, will go on to become a jazz standard. 2/2
