Author Talk – Ryan Rodgers

Minnesota author Ryan Rodgers (Winter’s Children: A Celebration of Nordic Skiing) discusses his newest book, Where the Green Light Shines: A Fifty-Year Odyssey From the Boundary Waters to the Far North.

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 (payment by cash or check only).
