Description
Marie Rodaway: Prairie Pioneer presentation by Karen Wyatt Drevo
Maria (portrayed by her great-great-granddaughter in period attire) looks back at her life as a prairie pioneer in Otoe Country, Nebraska where she homesteaded in 1867. Maria endured many trials including the loss of her husband and six of her thirteen children as she worked to become a citizen and a land owner in a new country. Resilient and resourceful, she lived a life of usefulness to her family and friends. This one-hour program is sponsored by the Nebraska Humanities Council and is suitable for older children and adults.
