You are cordially invited to join us for a “Grand Excursion” to St. Louis in honor of Catharine Maria Sedgwick’s 225th birthday and the 160th anniversary of her own trip to the Midwest in June 1854.

The 8th CMSS Symposium will be held Thursday, June 5 through Sunday, June 8, 2014; please hold these dates!

Registration details and a call for papers will be distributed soon; in the meantime, you can prepare for the Symposium by reading Sedgwick’s “The Great Excursion to the Falls of St. Anthony.”
