Barb Netherland On The Overland Trail and the Paul and Helen Henderson Collection
Barb Netherland joins David Wolf and Vicki Schmitt to talk about the Overland Trails, the Paul and Helen Henderson Collection, and the importance of diaries in depicting everyday life on the trail. The Henderson Collection features thousands of documents, maps, diaries, and other pieces of information on the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails. Several volunteers have spent thousands of hours indexing the collections, and it is available for researchers to look at.
