Event Details
Join us on the third Tuesday of each month for a lively discussion about this month's title. Copies of the month's title are available at the Ridgefield Community Library for sign-out at the Accounts Desk.
For August we will read a non-fiction book: Astoria by Peter Stark. All are welcome.
In the tradition of The Lost City of Z and Skeletons in the Zahara, Astoria is the thrilling, true-adventure tale of the 1810 Astor Expedition, an epic, now forgotten, three-year journey to forge an American empire on the Pacific Coast. Peter Stark offers a harrowing saga in which a band of explorers battled nature, starvation, and madness to establish the first American settlement in the Pacific Northwest and opened up what would become the Oregon trail, permanently altering the nation's landscape and its global standing.
We will meet in person in the Community Room. Please sign out a copy of the discussion book at the Accounts Desk before the program.
