9/30: Hear, Here! The Love Story of Elias Boudinot and Harriett Gold
Learn the tragic story of Harriet Ruggles Gold Boudinot and Elian Boudinot. In March of 1826, Harriett, the daughter of a prominent family in Cornwall, Connecticut, married Elias, a leader in the Cherokee Nation and editor of The Cherokee Phoenix. The interracial marriage caused scandal and protest in Cornwall. Though Harriett and Elias lived happily in the Cherokee capital of New Echota, their marriage had a profound impact on their communities. Presented by Wanda Patterson, local historian and charter member of the Georgia Trail of Tears Association.
