Mary Katharine Goddard, Independence Hall, and The Declaration of Independence

From the podcast The Past and The Curious: A History Podcast for Kids and Families

·33:39
Episode 119 looks at some key moment inside Indepedence Hall (and the time they almost tore it down). Likewise, we'll meet Mary Katharine Goddard, who published the first version of the Declaration to contain the names of all the signers. If you look closely, you can find her name on the important document too! And to start it off we learn about when Ben Franklin told Thomas Jefferson a story to help him understand the value of editing.
