Into the Wallowa Lecture: Ancient Places Reading
Author Jack Nisbet will give a presentation entitled "The Longest Journey" based on his new book, Ancient Places. In the fall of 1902, a Welch farmer happened upon one odd rock perched on a slope above the Willamette River. It turned out to be a meteorite, and the slow unfolding of its story revealed links to Northwest mining, land ownership issues, museum politics, Ice Age floods, human nature, and the deep history of the universe. This slide presentation will follow the trail of the Willamette meteorite. Nisbet's current book, Ancient Places, is a collection of stories about the interplay between people and large-scale events on a landscape. He is a Spokane-based teacher and naturalist, and author of several books. Join Jack Nisbet and the Wallowa Land Trust for a trip into the past on Thursday August 20th at 7 pm at Stage One (119 E. Main Street) in Enterprise. This event is part of Wallowa Land Trust's Into The Wallowa Summer Outings & Lectures Series.
