At The Moscow Library

With drum, costume, and song, storyteller Antoinette Botsford spins stories

from her French Canadian and Metis heritage. She will be performing "The

Lost Journals of Emily Pauline Johnson" at the Moscow Public Library on

Wednesday March 14 at 7:00 pm. Ms. Botsford lived in Moscow during the

1950s and attended the University of Idaho. She says, "I am totally

thrilled to be doing Pauline Johnson in the Carol Ryrie Brink room in the

old library where I must have spent many happy hours as a child in Moscow.

I would walk there with my stack of four or five books and greedily take

home more. In the summers I sometimes ran through a book a day by the time

I was 10 or 11." The program is based on the life and writings of Emily

Pauline Johnson, chieftain's daughter, who traveled extensively in North

America and England as ambassador to the Mohawk nation a century ago. It is

free and open to the public, recommended for more mature audiences.

Ms. Botsford is also teaching an extended workshop on developing characters

in oral storytelling for the Palouse Story Circle. The workshop will be

held at the Moscow Public Library on Saturday March 17 from 10 am to 1 pm.

The cost for this workshop is $10. Contact Betsy Bybell at 208-882-3925 for

more information about either program.
