Tales From the Park: Author Talk with Russell Cahill @ Vernetta Smith Chehalis Timberland Library | Chehalis | Washington | United States

The National Park Service celebrated their 100th birthday in 2016 but the origin of America’s parks goes all the way back to the Civil War and beyond. Author Russell Cahill thinks it started when a single tree was cut down in California in 1852. Cahill was a National Park Ranger during the 1960s and 70s and has written of the origins of our parks and his adventures in Yosemite, Alaska, Washington D.C. and Hawai’i. Join him and hear of rescues, forest fires, bears breaking into a five-star hotel and other happenings. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

A Deadly Wind: The 1962 Columbus Day Storm @ Vernetta Smith Chehalis Timberland Library
Tickets
Mar 23 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm

On October 12, 1962, a windstorm fueled in part by the remains of Typhoon Freda struck the Pacific Northwest with deadly winds topping one hundred miles per hour.

The storm killed dozens, injured hundreds, damaged more than fifty thousand homes, and leveled enough timber to build one million homes. Join us for an author talk with John Dodge, former investigative reporter for The Olympian, as he reads passages from his new book about Typhoon Freda, “A Deadly Wind: The 1962 Columbus Day Storm.” This talk will include a slideshow and a question and answer session. A signing will follow the presentation, and copies of the book will be available for purchase.
