January 30, 2013
Lindsay Morgan talks to Sarah Balint about the 1889 diary of her great-grandmother, Mary Andrews Lockie.
The diary chronicled the family's three-month journey by covered wagon from Tallahassee in Florida to Wolfe Island.
Illustrated more recently by Lindsay's daughter Sarah Balint, the diary describes how the family ran aground three times in the Wolfe Island Canal. She also shows a portrait of her great-grandfather, James Smart Lockie, born 1841.
Listen to Lindsay talk about her great-grandmother's diary and about her great-grandfather's portrait.
