    Amy McCormack

    August 31, 2015 /

     

     

    2003.033.021.001

     

    We found this lovely portrait of  Amy McCormack in the collection.  Perhaps that is the typewriter she used to write “South to Panama”– what do you think?

    Did you know Amy or have any specific memories of her to share?  Have you read “South to Panama”?

    Please share anything you think this record should reflect about Amy McCormack  in the comments section below!

    Liberty Party

    There is no other information associated with this image.  Can you add anything?

    Does the term “Liberty Party” have meaning for you?  Where do you think they may have been headed on the train?
