Abstract

When I found out I was awarded ALSC’s Bechtel Fellowship to conduct research in the Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s Literature at the University of Florida Libraries in Gainesville, I was honored, thrilled, and excited. I was also curious to learn more about the person for whom my fellowship was named.
