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
To attend, go to http://67.19.231.218/v4/login.asp?r=67955673&p=0
Type your name and click "Enter" to go into the online room. A small software applet will download to your computer as you enter the room. All that is needed is an Internet connection, sound card, and speakers. A headset with microphone will enable you to speak to the group.

to your computer.
