papers of Vachel's mother, Catherine Frazee Lindsay, and is drawn
from the collection of the Schlesinger Library of the History of
Women in America at the Radcliffe Institute in Cambridge, Mass. This
first-person interpretive program has been researched and will be
presented by Vachel Lindsay Home volunteer Sharon Miner.Advance
