On October 15th, Minnesota author Ryan Rodgers discusses his newest book, Where the Green Light Shines: A Fifty-Year Odyssey From the Boundary Waters to the Far North. Ryan Rodgers is also the author of Winter’s Children: A Celebration of Nordic Skiing.
Bridging the legendary Arctic expeditions of the 19th century and the making of today’s recreational paddling tradition, this book is a fascinating chronicle of canoe exploration, told through the journeys of a true master of the craft, Bob O’Hara. Where the Green Light Shines illuminates a lost world of Arctic canoeing remade in our time. The book also references several St. Croix Valley expeditioners. It transports anyone interested in outdoor adventure – from wilderness canoeists to armchair travelers – and brings home the eternal allure of the far north.
Copies of Where the Green Light Shines will be available for purchase at the event (cash or check payments only).
Date and Time: Thursday, October 15 at 7:00 p.m.
