Featured Program Author Talk With Nate Schweber This America Of Ours

This is a recording of a Zoom program presented at the Traverse Area District Library Oct. 16 2024 at 6:30 pm.

Author Nate Schweber will talk with us about his book This America of Ours: Bernard and Avis DeVoto and the Forgotten Fight to Save the Wild. This nonfiction book was published by HarperCollins in 2022 and is about a dynamic mid-20th century literary couple who fought for America's national parks, alongside future celebrity chef Julia Child and her husband Paul to Ansel Adams, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Alfred Knopf, Adlai Stevenson, and Wallace Stegner--while the very pillars of American democracy, embodied in free and public access to Western lands, hung in the balance. Their dramatic crusade would earn them censorship and blacklisting by Joe McCarthy, J. Edgar Hoover, and Roy Cohn. Find out why we should remember Bernard and Avis DeVoto's fight to save public lands.

This program will be live via Zoom. Please register through the blue box that says, "Register Here".
