Historical exploration opportunity- Appalachia, Kentucky Blue Fugate people and methemoglobinemia. Pack Horse Library Project.
There are 3 books available about the subject of the Pack Horse LIbrary Project: We will give away 10 books. 5 on 12/6 and 5 on 12/13. Winners can pick which book they’d like. I will order books on Amazon Smile (to give buying credit to the church) and will have them mailed to the winners. Interested participants will put their name into the chat on the church service or email their name to Robin and we will draw 5 names on those two dates.
We will have a discussion board up on Google Classroom.

THE BOOKS TO CHOOSE FROM
The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek– by Kim Michele Richardsom- High School and older- or read by parent to younger teen and editing a few challenging (but respectfully written) excerpts that deal with violence against women and detailed descriptions of medical procedures, and death.
Down Cut Shin Creek- by Kathy Appelt- All ages- Good non-fiction reading for all- great to offer to middle school or younger readers
That Book Woman-, by Heather Henson- All Ages, but written for children.
