Join BSU history professor John Bieter to learn more about America and the West during the time of the Orphan Train program. This discussion of westward expansion and mid-to-late 19th Century America should give a deeper understanding of Christina Baker Kline's Orphan Train, this year's selection for the 2016 Read Me Treasure Valley one-book program. Bieter will be at the Main Library on Thursday, February 24, 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the third floor Marion Bingham Room.

The program is presented in partnership with the Idaho State Historical Archives as part of the 2016 Read Me Treasure Valley one-book program.
