Every Friday we're pleased to offer Legacy Family Tree Webinar subscribers a new bonus webinar just for them! This Friday enjoy "How Advertising Brought Our Ancestors to the Midwest" by Annette Burke Lyttle. If you're not a member, remember the webinar previews are always free.
How Advertising Brought Our Ancestors to the Midwest
What motivated our ancestors to move to the Midwest? We’ll examine how newspaper advertising, broadsides, pamphlets, and books were aimed at prospective migrants from other parts of the U.S. and from Europe to get them to come, work, buy land, and settle in sparsely-populated frontier areas. We'll look at what kinds of messages these ads used to make hard work and pioneer living seem attractive. Attendees will come away with an appreciation of how this particular spur to migration shaped the growth of the Midwestern region.
