Creating a Character
In
Exchange I, we became 4 different pioneer families ---the Sampsons,
the Lees, the Horowitzes and the Carrolls, each on a different
journey to a new land... Click
on the word, DREAMS, to
find a gallery of family portraits, created collaboratively
over 1000 miles.
Once
this large file is downloaded to your desktop, open it in
ACROBAT and then click on each pioneer's face to hear their
dreams.

Leaving & Planning a New Home
Our pioneer
families are on their way -- crossing the ocean, hiking overland
trails, heading North by rail to an uncertain future. Some will
lose everything. Some will prosper. In the meantime, thoughts of
home crowd in -- as with Seamus Carroll, who is on the Oregon Trail
... CLICK ON his name, among
the screens above, to overhear the loveletter he
writes home to his sweetheart. His family joins the Lee daughter
who harbors a secret, the Horowitzes, who are dealt a cruel hand
by fate and Nathaniel Sampson who is visited by someone he thinks
died in the raging flood waters of the MIssissippi Delta ...
