Kate Kelly is a writer and publisher of America Comes Alive!, a site devoted to telling important stories from American history.

She recently captured the William Shemin story, drawing from materials in The Ivy Hero and elsewhere. You can find her re-telling of the William Shemin story here.

In the past, she has also told the story of Medal of Honor hero Henry Johnson, whose story is also recounted in The Ivy Hero. This is a link to Kate’s story about Henry Johnson.

Here’s Kate Kelly’s home page for America Comes Alive—a good point of reference for this year of America’s 250th anniversary:
