We had such a great time chatting with author Shannon McKenna Schmidt earlier this year to discuss Lady Bird Johnson, we just had to have her back! This time she will be discussing her book, "<a href="https://danvers.noblenet.org/Record/5023139?searchId=10962716&amp;recordIndex=1&amp;page=1&amp;referred=resultIndex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The First Lady of World War II: Eleanor Roosevelt's Daring Journey to the Frontlines and Back</a> - the first book to tell the full story of Eleanor Roosevelt's unprecedented and courageous trip to the Pacific Theater during World War II. We'll discuss how the trip impacted the war effort, Eleanor, and the world. It's guaranteed to be a fascinating conversation and we hope you can join us for it!

About The First Lady of World War II:
On August 27, 1943, news broke in the United States that First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was on the other side of the world. A closely guarded secret, she had left San Francisco aboard a military transport plane headed for the South Pacific to support and report the troops on WW2's front lines.
Americans had believed she was secluded at home.
As Allied forces battled the Japanese for control of the region, Eleanor was there on the frontlines, spending five weeks traveling, on a mission as First Lady of the United States to experience what our servicemen were experiencing... and report back home.
"No other U.S. mother had seen so much of the panorama of the war, had been closer to the sweat and boredom, the suffering."
―Time, October 4, 1943

Spurred by the French and Indian War, Pontiac’s Rebellion and the Proclamation Line, the American Revolution changed the world and ultimately the land that would become the United States. Indigenous nations were placed in a position to decide how best to protect their lands and people. Working on promises made to them by the Patriot cause, many nations ultimately fought for the Colonists. Learn who these nations were, what their contributions were to the struggle for Independence and the the ultimate betrayal they faced afterwards.&nbsp;
