John Brown's Cave Reading and Community Storytelling September 26

I will be reading and hosting a community storytelling event at the Mayhew Cabin in Nebraska City, NE, at 3 PM on Saturday, September 26, 2026.

In BRAVE IN SEASON I imagine what it might have been like for itinerant Black railroad workers to come upon the touristy version of the place that we knew as John Brown's Cave in the 1950s. I will read that section, and then invite community members to share memories of John Brown's Cave from the 1960s and 1970s. Locals are invited to bring items from the extensive souvenir shop of that era.

At the conclusion I will be happy to sign copies of Brave in Season, with all book sale profits donated to the Mayhew Foundation for the continued preservation of Nebraska's only historical site dedicated to the Underground Railroad.
