Three books. Three women. Three writings that shaped U.S. History. Three new (free!) lesson plans.

Bookmark this! Join Sarah Kay Bierle and Palmer Hittesdorf for a free professional development program about Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" and Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" series. 

These books have connections to before, during and after the American Civil War, and this program will delve into the history highlighted within the stories. You'll also receive access to the new, free lesson plans that American Battlefield Trust has developed to pair with these books; an attendance certificate is available by request during the session.
