The Blind History Lady Presents; The First Things I Learned

The first book in a historical series of stories that look back at the day-to-day, lives of the average blind man or woman in the United States over the past two centuries. Learn about the blind persons who had come before, all they had to traverse to live a normal life and to accomplish all they did and with so few resources that the blind take for granted today.
The Blind History Lady will explore the lives of blind editors, teachers, barbers, electricians, politicians, piano tuners and so many other professions that the blind of the United States have engaged in, over the many decades that will surprise even the Blind History Lady. A look at their lives will show how techniques used by the blind have evollved or disappeared. How the many adaptions to the sighted world have now become a part of the sighted world.
