Linda S. Johnston

Welcome to my website!

If you are interested in history, nature, writing, and/​or art and any combination thereof, this is the site for you.

My first book, Hope Amid Hardship: Pioneer Voices from Kansas Territory, looks at history in a new way, combining art, nature, and words.

These are all things I am interested in and will include them on this website.

I am committed to showing the importance of the personal journal and that everyone's story is part of history. In the coming months, I will be working with students in sixth and seventh grades on this topic. I am so excited about this project. You may follow my progress on the EVENTS page and also JOURNALING page. On the JOURNALING page you can also find out about types of journals and diaries and ideas on how to start your own.
