Pamelia Fergus Women’s History Month Celebration |

| Event Description: |
|
Pamelia Dillin Fergus of Illinois met and married Scottish immigrant-turned-American-citizen James Fergus, a self-made, self-taught and ambitious husband. He was often gone trying to find ways to get rich, leaving behind his growing family. He and Pamelia wrote to each other. Many of their letters survived and paint a picture of a man who demanded Pamelia take on more and more responsibilities, which she resisted. Park Ranger Kathy Bommarito explores their complex relationship. |
