Laurapalooza Video Diary – Day 2

I think this video is even better than yesterday’s. If you don’t recognize somebody, feel free to ask in a comment.

Laurapalooza Trip Day 2

It includes a report on Maude Hart Lovelace at the Mankato public library. It follows up with footage of campus and the ice cream social, including welcomes from Amy Lauters, the Betsy-Tacy Society, John E. Miller, and Dean Butler.

I found out during the Native American panel at Laurapalooza that one of the largest group hangings in American history (in retribution for the Dakota Uprising aka by Mrs. Scott in Little House on the Prairie the Minnesota Massacre) was held in the future site of Reconciliation Park.
