Event Description
What do an orphan train rider, a kidnapper, a betrayed wife, a church missionary, a wealthy businessman, a land baron's wife, a maid, a farmer, a college student, an immigrant and a newspaper reporter have in common?
They all had ties to Iowa, and their stories would forever become intertwined with the saga of the opulent Titanic, which struck an iceberg and plunged to the bottom of the North Atlantic in 1912.
Iowa author Darcy Doughter Maulsby is known as Iowa's Storyteller and has been featured in the Iowa History Journal, Our Iowa Magazine, Iowa Public Radio and Iowa PBS. She is also the author of A Culinary History of Iowa, Iowa Agriculture, The Lincoln Highway in Iowa: A History, and other non-fiction, illustrated books which will all be available the day of the program.
