There's pictures of Harriet T's Bucktown Village Store in Smithsonian Magazine story http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/on-the-trail-of-harriet-tubman-146048/ If you click through the pictures, the store has been restored (painted yellow) and has done some fixup work inside (last picture in Photo Gallery). I think when I saw it about 10-15 yrs ago, it was boarded up, faded, but advertizing the owners' kayak rental business on the side.<br /><br />The duck decoys in the store aren't wouldn't have been sold much in the 19th c. Most folks carved their own and duck hunting as eastern shore business came into play with massive planting of corn fields well after the civil war. <br /><br />P.S. I just finished the Donner Party book -- and will take it over to Marston Middle School once school resumes in Sept. I didn't skip forward to page 113. Have you visited Donner Memorial State park north of Lake Tahoe? Hope they will stock your book in the visitor center/museum there.<br />Deborahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7622998981501193158.post-58079703679255147672014-06-06T20:50:49.346-06:002014-06-06T20:50:49.346-06:00Recently while my kids were looking for books at t...Recently while my kids were looking for books at the library, I happened upon the Donner Dinner Party in the kids' graphic novel section. I picked up immediately and was not ashamed to check it out for myself. We had read your previous books (Rapunzel & Calamity), but I hadn't connected this was your doing. I was delighted with the historical story and humor. I can't wait to see your other books in that series now that I know it exists. Rev.

Recently while they were at the library looking for books, I saw the Donner Dinner Party in the kids' graphic novel section and picked it up for myself. I found it hilarious as well as super-informative. I can't wait to read your other books in that series now that I know it exists. History, ho!Rev.
