Eagle of Delight: Portrait of the Plains Indian Girl in the White House by Jean A. Lukesh
In 1821, a teenage Otoe girl with “the Mark of Honor” journeyed east with her husband and other Indian chiefs. There, she became “the Darling of Washington D.C. Society.” Then tragedy struck, and she and her story were nearly forgotten for 140 years.
Discussion led by Jean Lukesh
Local historians lead monthly discussions of books featuring Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska, or regional history. Membership in the book club is monthly, participants can choose which month/book is of interest to them and do not need to commit to the entire program series.
The Bygone Book Club is a partnership between the Grand Island Public Library and the Hall County Historical Society.
