Notes
Many of my favorite things I read for this piece were contemporary newspaper tributes upon her death in 1911. They’re easy to find.
By far the most useful thing I read was Lenore Skomal’s *The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter: The Remarkable True Story of American Heroine, Ida Lewis. *It’s very well researched and highly readable.

September 11, 2018Episode 131 (Lost Locusts)
The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia.
Music
The music on this one comes from High Aura'd, a project from my old friend, John Kolodij. The main drone piece is All the Spirits that Dance. The beginning and end were composed specifically for this episode.
Notes
I read a lot of articles from a lot of sources on this one, but the linchpin here is Jeffrey Lockwood's book that, to my mind, convincingly solves the mystery of the vanishing locusts.
