Join Margi in celebrating her new book — and the amazing life of Dr. Kate Pelham Newcomb!
Dr. Kate would do anything to help her patients in the snowy Northwoods of Wisconsin. In the mid-1900s that could mean canoeing on an icy river, hitching a ride on a snowplow, or strapping on snowshoes!
Dr. Kate Pelham Newcomb traveled long distances and delivered more than 3,000 babies over the course of her career, and she knew a nearby hospital was desperately needed. But where would the money come from?
When some of her “babies” reached school age, they hatched an idea to help Dr. Kate. As students sent letters asking for donations to build a hospital and saved their allowances, their grassroots efforts caught the world’s attention, and the pennies started pouring in.
