Stacey Guill – They Still Draw Pictures

Author and researcher Stacey Guill joined us once before to talk about her book “The Stone House in the Canyon,” about Mary Hallock Foote and her history in the Boise area. This time, Stacey is diving deeper into some of the amazing history of Ernest Hemingway. This journey, she takes us to Spain during the Spanish Civil War. During this time of warfare, children and families were part of the casualties. Thousands of children drew photos of what they saw around them. See some of these through Stacey’s eyes with her podcast.

See some of these drawings for yourself, in The Abraham Lincoln Brigade Archives, and in the Mandeville Special Collections Library.

Check out Ernest Hemingway’s powerful propaganda historical film, The Spanish Earth.

Stacey and I are working on doing a short film about this, coming soon.
