Our next book selection is Life on the Mississippi: An Epic American Adventure by Rinker Buck. This New York Times Best-Seller, which was recommended by our new member Jessica Parks, is a true story about historian Rinker Buck’s modern-day journey down the Mississippi River to New Orleans with his shipmates after building an 1800s era flatboat! Copies will be available at Pomegranate Books for a 15% discount!

Life on the Mississippi is an epic, enchanting blend of history and adventure in which Buck builds a wooden flatboat from the grand “flatboat era” of the 1800s and sails it down the Mississippi River, illuminating the forgotten past of America’s first western frontier.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, our next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, November 26, 2022, at 10:30AM outside at Pomegranate Books (Weather Permitting).

December/January Book Club
2023-01-28 10:30 - 11:30
Our next book selection is a true lock and dam story about Americans who live near the Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri River titled, Holding Back the River: The Struggle Against Nature On America’s Waterways by Tyler J. Kelley.! Copies will be available at Pomegranate Books for a 15% discount!

America’s infrastructure is old and underfunded. While our economy, society, and climate have changed, our levees, locks, and dams have not. Yet to fix what’s wrong will require more than money. It will require an act of imagination. Holding Back the River brings us into the lives of the Americans who grapple with our mighty rivers and, through their stories, suggests solutions to some of the century’s greatest challenges.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Saturday, January 28, 2023 at 10:30AM outside at Pomegranate Books (Weather Permitting).
