Dred Scott's dramatic story is a part of American history known to students. However not everyone has heard his family story. Do you know about his second wife, Harriet, who sued for freedom at the same time a as Dred, about their daughters, Eliza and Lizzie, or about their grandchildren? Do you know that Harriet and Dred's youngest daughter, Lizzie, lived through the Civil War, World War I, and World War II? Ruth Ann Hager, author of the book "Dred and Harriet Scott: Their Family Story," and Reference Specialist in St. Louis County Library's Special Collections Department is our guest speaker.
