The Museum is delighted to share the Verdenal Journal, one of the gems of its collection, with all lovers of American history, through the story of our publication of "Journal Across the Plains". In April 1852, twelve-year-old John Verdenal, his younger brother Dominique and their parents left St. Louis, Missouri in a wagon train heading for California. The brothers’ travel journal details the people they encountered and their challenges traversing rivers, prairies, deserts and mountains.
The project to develop "Journal Across the Plains" took over a year to complete and required the work of a team of volunteers and staff members. Brian Crawford was part of that team. He will share the journey of the book's creation from hand-written journal to the final book that has made this incredible story available to all. Brian will answer some of the questions that often come to mind. Who gave the original Journal to the Museum? How were the maps produced? Where did the photos come from? Are any of the brothers' ancestors still alive? What happened to the family after they arrived in California?
Brian Crawford is a retired computer programmer who spends his time doing historical and genealogical research and has published a variety of books on historical subjects
