Thanks for your interest in this hands on, interactive, and cross-cultural school presentation!

Dressed in clothing from the 1880’s time period, author will focus on the background and history of this unique group of Jewish Pioneers who attempted to start an agricultural colony on the rocky slopes below the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in south-central Colorado. Pioneer photographs and Jewish artifacts will be shared as a way to help explain how the real story of the colonists was turned into a work of historical fiction. Program fits nicely with either Colorado History or Immigration themes, and depending on time available and group size, can be tailored to include writing exercises and time for questions and answers.
