Join Janelle Molony, a descendant of Dr. James and Sarah Rousseau (pioneer settlers of Liberty Township), as she dives into the immigration experiences of the refined lady musician from New Castle Upon Tyne to Michigan, Kentucky, Iowa, and the Wild West! Learn about the challenges and rewards of traveling in the Pella Company, led by Nicholas Earp in 1864, and their incredible, true story of survival at any cost.
