What was it like to travel the Trail of Tears? Tim Tingle will join us for this event to explore this difficult history through the eyes of his fictional ghost protagonist, Issac. After discussion and Q & A, the group will visit to the Klingenstein Library to view and discuss a curated selection of rarely-seen original documents related to the Choctaw Nation and the greater history of forced relocation of American Indians.

Come meet award-winning author Tonya Bolden and discuss history from the burning of Washington, D.C. during the War of 1812 to the outbreak of Civil War, as told through one man’s journal. At the meeting, we’ll discuss how Michael Shiner, born a slave who later purchased his freedom, chronicled the development of our capital city through his diary. After discussion, we’ll explore some rare and precious journals and first-hand accounts from African Americans of the 18th and 19th centuries in the N-YHS library.

About Capital Days

You probably know about Lincoln’s assassination, but you may not know about an earlier attempt on Lincoln’s life that was foiled by the Pinkerton Detective Agency with the help of its star detective, Kate Warne. Come learn about America’s first female P.I. and the antics of her fictional niece, Nell, who solves her own mysteries. After discussion with author Kate Hannigan, families will explore artifacts related to the Pinkerton Detective Agency in our Patricia Klingenstein Library.
