Poetry Against Slavery: Elizabeth Chandler

Elizabeth Chandler was born in Delaware in 1807 and moved to Tecumseh,
Michigan Territory, in 1830. Elizabeth's poems, such as "The Slave Ship,"
told of slavery's evils-a fierce advocate for abolition, Chandler worked
tirelessly through her poetry to spread awareness of the negativity
surrounding slavery. 

In 1832, she and Laura Smith Haviland founded the Logan Female Anti-Slavery
Society. It created an important link in the Underground Railroad to help
freedom-seekers reach Canada. Following a life-long career of abolitionist
ideals, Elizabeth Chandler died in 1834 and is buried near Tecumseh.

Michiganders on the Road Hails Tour a Success!

on-the-roadFrom October 13-16, 2017, a wonderful group of HSM members and
history enthusiasts embarked on a tour of Lincoln's hometown and surrounding
history on the "Life of Lincoln" motorcoach tour. 

Taking in the sights, sounds, and food of Lincoln's stomping grounds, the
tour explored the beautiful Lincoln museum, New Salem, Lincoln's home in
Springfield, and the old capitol building. Our fearless tour guide,
Historical Society of Michigan staff member Bob Myers, led the successful
charge across statelines and had only positive things to say following the
trip's conclusion: "The Lincoln home and the Abraham Lincoln Presidential
Museum were a huge hit! The group had a great time, and there was great food
and times to be had."

For those of you who missed out on the "Life of Lincoln" tour-never fear! We
have an exciting year of bus tours planned for 2018.
<http://hsmichigan.org/programs/michiganders-on-the-road/> Stay tuned for
more updates regarding Michiganders on the Road tours on our program page.
