Frontier Freedom Fighter
by Diane Eickhoff
$14.95; Quindaro Press; single cd; Young Adult; Biography / Women’s Studies;
74 minutes run time
Clarina Nichols (1810-1885) moved West to the wild frontier of
“Bleeding Kansas,” where her sons fought alongside John Brown. She helped shaped the state’s new Constitution to free
slaves and give women rights. For the first time, the story of Clarina Nichols comes alive,
thanks to Diane Eickhoff, whose meticulous, six-year quest to
Nichols’s scattered writings has
yielded a richer understanding of this remarkable pioneer. Eickhoff traveled around Kansas in character as Clarina Nichols in
chautauquas, and brings her performance skills to this cd.

The Jane’s Smart Art Guide™ to

more than 500 years later, convey the profound piety and humility
that characterized members of the Observant Dominican order.
