Charlotte Lyter Mankin lives in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California's famous Gold Country. She enjoys collecting Native American art, John Wayne pictures, barn pictures and lighthouse scenes.
At one time she and her husband Charlie obedience-trained German Shepherds, winning many trophies. When she was in the hospital, her husband brought her three trophies hidden behind his back for a surprise. Years ago Charlotte won the "Volunteer of the Year" award at the VA Hospital in Reno, Nevada. Her title was "Popcorn lady' as she operated the popcorn machine for the staff,visitors,patients and volunteers. Before retiring she joined AmeriCorp and worked under the auspicious of The Child Abuse Prevention Council.
Today she may be found doing research about her second cousin, four times removed, Benjamin Lundy, a Pre-Civil War abolitionist.
It is her goal to share the information with others through her new ebook, "Benjamin Lundy's Last Walk." Others may be interested in how he fought through his pen, paper, and lectures to free the slaves from bondage.

Abolition. One man's true story of his struggle to help end slavery. Benjamin Lundy's life was an example for other abolitionists to follow. Slaves would come to him in the dark of the night and plead with him for help. Every waking moment the goal was always before him. Many slaves fled to Canada where Lundy thought the winters were too harsh. However, both he and Frederick Douglass said that they were treated far better in Canada than in the United States. I don't know if their paths crossed but I do know Frederick Douglass's anti-slavery societies used the Bible and the Declaration of Independence the same as Lundy did. Lundy was a mentor to many up and coming abolitionists. His light went out early but it must have still led the way for many to follow, both black and white, who believed in freedom for the slaves.
