Gleanings by the Way is an exciting Artist’s Journey into a nearly forgotten Journal that was penned in 1849 by a travelor from Newton NJ to Wisconsin and back. Through the eyes (& pen) of a average American, discover a unique slice of our history. The journal will be lavishly illustrated by ShawnaLee to help you to feel even more immersed into the route, people and places visited!
