The Arrowhead Library System hosts author Cary J. Griffith, speaking about his most recent nonfiction book Gunflint Falling: Blowdown in the Boundary Waters.
He will also discuss his latest Sam Rivers mystery, Dead Catch (set on Lake Vermilion). This free program is being offered at the Babbitt Public Library on Monday, Feb. 10, 3:30 p.m.
On July 4, 1999, in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, a bizarre confluence of meteorological events resulted in the most damaging blowdown in the region’s history.
Gunflint Falling tells the story of this devastating storm from the perspectives of those who were on the ground before, during, and after the catastrophic event—from first-time visitors to the north woods to returning paddlers to Forest Service Rangers.
Griffith is a recipient of the Minnesota Book Award and the Midwest Book Award.
This free program is one hour long and is geared toward junior high students (ages 10+) and adults.
