In this episode, we meet a photographic artist during the Civil War period named Lucretia Gillett. Please enjoy the telling of her story as Lucretia is remembered through historian William Christen’s research. You will hear how she was a photographer in Saline Michigan during a time that was not common for women to have professional careers. Mr. Christen also talks a little about the ability to date Civil War era carte de visites or CDVs. Thank you to the Waterloo Area Historical Society for their hospitality for this episode.
