Juliette Gordon Low enjoyed standing on her head. She stood on her head every year for her birthday! She enjoyed the arts and would write and act in plays. She also played tennis and was a swimmer. Juliette had two nick names. One was "Little Ship" because she was so much like her great-grandmother who had been nick named "Little Ship Under Full Sail" by the Seneca Indians who had captured her and later let her return home. Juliette's other nick name was "Daisy". When she was born, her uncle exclaimed "That's a Daisy!" There is a story about pulling taffy. One of Daisy's cousins thought the taffy was the same color as her hair so they braided the taffy into Daisy's hair. Since taffy is so sticky, the only way to remove the taffy was to cut her hair very short, which was not very fashionable for females in those days!
