Mark and Paula spent more time in
Galesburg, Illinois. A statue outside the county courthouse shows Mother Bickerdyke (1817-1901), a U. S. Army Nurse during the American Civil War. A plaque with a quote by General Sherman reads, "She Outranks Me." |
 |
| Paula continued her search for family
history by researching microfilm records from the town newspaper.
She wasn't the only one that day. This kind of research is getting popular. |
 |
| There is a statue in town honoring local
Pulitzer Prize winner
Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967). He is known for poetry and a biography of President Abraham Lincoln. |
 |
| On their route back to Brainerd, the
Dynamic Duo came across this
famous
truck stop. "Mark," she said, "Pull over so we can see what it is all about!" |
 |
| A huge place with everything you could
want from souvenirs to clothing. |
 |
| This must be a favorite stopping spot for
truckers. |
 |
| Hmmmm...a Dodge Power Wagon from the
1950s. |
Quote of the day:
So many interesting spots along the way. Mark
