One Woman's Journey

"Left my family and started on my long trip across the plains." With
these quiet words, Mary Ringo began the tale of her family's journey
from Missouri to Utah.  Join us as we follow her wagons across the
plains through storms and desert, disease, Indian attacks, and death. 
Focusing on a single document, Sheridan Harvey, Library of Congress
Reference Specialist for Women's Studies, uses other first-person
accounts, maps, and photographs to augment Mary's story and to explore
the rich history of America's overland journeys.

When:  Wednesday, March 21, 2:00 p.m. (E.D.T.), 1:00 p.m. CST
