Shiloh Museum outreach coordinator Susan Young will discuss the life and work of Newton County resident Ted Richmond in a program entitled, "Working for Things Eternal," at noon Wednesday, Sept. 18, in the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History. According to Young, "In the early 1930s, Ted Richmond settled on Mount Sherman in Newton County and founded the Wilderness Library, providing free books to local folks for miles around. The library existed into the 1950s, with Richmond attracting the attention of Eleanor Roosevelt, J. William Fulbright, and the Saturday Evening Post along the way."
