One family’s adventure has been preserved in a diary, now considered an American literary treasure.
Award-winning author Janelle Molony will present "Journey Back on the Old Oregon Trail" describing how her great-grandparents Dr. James and Sarah Rousseau of Iowa (and their celebrity traveling companions in Wyatt Earp's family) endured the journey with poison water holes, quicksand, robberies, the searing Mojave, and starvation near the snow-capped San Bernardino Mountains. Ms. Molony is a descendant of the Rousseau family.
Copies of Janelle Molony's books will be available for purchase and she will be happy to autograph them for you. For additional information please visit Ms. Molony's website: www.JanelleMolony.com
Refreshments will be served after the meeting and are generously provided by Homage Coffee House.
