The Quad City Heritage League presents

Greta Nettleton

author & historian of

The Quack's Daughter:

A True Story about the Private Life of a Victorian College Girl

Greetings!

Ms. Nettleton will give a program about her on-going research into her family's history. Earlier this year she published The Quack's Daughter: A True Story about the Private Life of a Victorian College Girl, the story of her great-grandmother, Cora Keck.

After discovering a trunk of family correspondence and papers, Ms. Nettleton's wanted to learn more about her family's history. Her research led her to write and publish The Quack's Daughter about Cora and her mother Dr. Rebecca J. Keck.

In 1884, Cora was sent east from Davenport to attend Vassar to elevate her family's social status. Her improbable educational opportunity turned into an enthralling journey of self-discovery as she struggled to meet the high standards in Vassar's School of Music.

Ms. Nettleton will be in the Quad Cities to continue researching her family's history and is currently focused on her great-great-grandmother, Dr. Rebecca J. Keck. Dr. Keck was a successful patent medicine entrepreneur and self-made millionaire.
