SUMMARY:Readers Choice Book Club
DESCRIPTION:There are two books this month\, both by local authors. \nHighway 61 traces approximately 440 miles through Minnesota\, from Pigeon Falls at the Canadian border south to La Crescent. Along the way\, the road hugs the North Shore\, zips through St. Paul\, and navigates bluffs along the Mississippi River. Cathy Wurzer unearths stories about these places and more as she travels down the road and into the past\, spotlighting famous and fascinating locations\, many of them little remembered today. Learn about bootleggers crossing the St. Croix by ferry or importing hooch from Canada onboard vessels designed in White Bear Lake. \nTales of the Road: Highway 61 by Cathy Wurzer (DBC24757) \nAND \nIn 1930 two novice paddlers—Eric Sevareid and Walter C. Port—launched a secondhand 18-foot canvas canoe into the Minnesota River at Fort Snelling for an ambitious summer-long journey from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay. Without benefit of radio\, motor\, or good maps\, the teenagers made their way over 2\,250 miles of rivers\, lakes\, and difficult portages. Nearly four months later\, after shooting hundreds of sets of rapids and surviving exceedingly bad conditions and even worse advice\, the ragged\, hungry adventurers arrived in York Factory on Hudson Bay—with winter freeze-up on their heels. First published in 1935\, Canoeing with the Cree is Sevareid’s classic account of this youthful odyssey. \nCanoeing with the Cree by Eric Sevareid (DBC10009) \nEnjoy reading and come prepared to discuss in October! \nHeld virtually by calling number 612-843-2594 and by entering ID 79521565#. Use the Minnesota Braille and Talking Book Library Catalog to order or download the book with your BARD account.
