It's been BUSY in Youth Services, so I haven't had a chance to tell you more about my trip to Nicodemus, Kansas, for the archeological dig earlier this month. Just in case you're looking for something new and different to read for Summer Reading Program, here are a few titles from our library about the Exodusters: Promised Land on the Solomon: Black Settlement at Nicodemus, Kansas by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (978.1 Pro/Kansas Collection/Max Main Room); Wagon Train: A Family Goes West in 1865 by Courtni Wright (J 978.004 Wright); Black Frontiers: A History of African American Heroes in the Old West by Lillian Schlissel (J 978.004 Schlissel); and Exodusters: Black Migration to Kansas after Reconstruction by Nell Irvin Painter (978.1 Painter/Kansas Collection/Max Main Room). And here are a few dealing with archeology: Archeology by Dr. Jane McIntosh (J 930 McIntosh); I Can Be an Archaeologist by Robert Pickering (J 930.1 Pickering); Digging the Past: Archaeology in Your Own Backyard by Bruce Porell (J 930.1 Porell); and Going on a Dig by Velma Ford Morrison.
Enjoy!
