作者简介
Lyndee Jobe Henderson has been digging up history ever since she was a little girl accompanying her father on archaeological expeditions. The courage of ordinary people living in extraordinary times impressed this Johnstown, Pennsylvania native, who grew up hearing stories about the survivors of the Great Johnstown Flood of 1889. Since relocating to Illinois, Lyndee has researched the Lincolns, the Civil War, the Victorian era, and Illinois prairie life. Lyndee shares her now empty nest in Naperville with husband Larry and Pomeranian dog Kodiak.
