Event details: "Mud and Fire: Mormon Diarists Cross Iowa, 1846"
Description
The Atherton Lecture Committee and the Department of History is pleased to present Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, 300th Anniversary Professor at Harvard University. When 14,000 Mormons crossed Iowa in 1846, they faced blizzards, mud and snakes. The greatest difficulties, however, came from their own demanding ideals of their faith. Ulrich will discuss their candid diaries and will provide insights into the religious and political culture in nineteenth-century America.
Ulrich is best known for her books, Well-behaved Women Seldom Make History and A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard based on Her Diary, 1785-1812.
