[NFB-History] Interesting fiction book

[rjaquiss]

Hello:

 

     I recently read:

Title: Mary Ingalls on Her Own

Author: Elizabeth Kimmel Willard

Copyright 2008 by HarperCollins Publishers Inc.

 

This book seeks to tell of Mary Ingalls and her first few weeks at the
College for the Blind in Vinton, Iowa. The book is fiction, but some of the
characters did exist. The author apparently drew from archival material to
construct her story. She does have Mary learning six dot braille. I have
read that Mary learned New York Point braille. The book is available on
BookShare. Have a great day.

 

Regards,

 

Robert
