Lawrence’s own George Frazier, author of The Last Wild Places of Kansas, has a new book.
The Lawrence Arts Center is hosting a book talk/release party to celebrate Riverine Dreams: Away to the Glorious and Forgotten Grassland Rivers of America, published by the University of Chicago Press.
The event, set for 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5 at 940 New Hampshire St., is free and open to the public. Click here to reserve your seat.
Prepare for tales of strange riverine forests left over from the ice age, leviathan fish migrations, modern grizzlies roaming the plains, endangered plants as rare as mastodon ivory, an audacious plan to return 10,000 bison to a Great Plains biosphere reserve, and of course, river otter mayhem.
If you thought you knew about the wild lands of Kansas and surrounding states, get ready for some surprises. Grassland rivers are the most unheralded gems of the entire American backcountry, and Frazier will tell us about the “Grassland River revival” he discovered while exploring eight of the wildest stretches of rivers that remain.
Lawrence Public Library is partnering with Friends of the Kaw, Great Blue Heron Outdoors, and Raven Book Store to offer this community event.
