Martha Ballard & The Frozen River
Small acts, done in love matter every bit as much as the ones that make the newspapers and history books - Ariel Lawhon
Martha Ballard Tour
Information about The Frozen River, its subject Martha Ballard, and the previous book written about her, A Midwife’s Tale by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. I am starting with a quick tour of locations from Martha Ballard’s life and the novel The Frozen River. I will be producing more detailed videos over the coming weeks.
