Hibbing Public Library ‘Overburden’ lecture tonight! Also, a special review!

Reminder: Tonight at 6:30 p.m. I’ll be giving a lecture based on my new book “Overburden: Modern Life on the Iron Range” at the Hibbing Public Library. I’ll be offering selections from the book, a perspective on how Northern Minnesota’s Iron Range remains defined by its people, traditions and potential. I’ll also be answering questions, leading a public discussion and signing books afterward.

Come on down! I don’t have many Range events left before I’m on the road again down yonder.

6:30 tonight at the Hibbing Public Library, downstairs in the auditorium.

Also: My friend AnnMarie wrote a very kind review of the book at the Rudstrom Family Blog. She is a friend from the old days and reminded me that she and I were on opposite sides when the infamous Forbes/Cherry elementary school merger took place in 1988. (Forbes 4 Eva!) Anyway, she made some interesting observations about the book if you’re on the fence about buying it.

You should read the Rudstrom Family Blog because it’s MUCH MORE than just some random family blog. AnnMarie and C.O. live in Brevig Mission, Alaska, an Inuit village near the Bering Strait WAY up in the northwest corner of the state. AnnMarie is a teacher and C.O. is an all purpose engineer/handyman. And they are Iron Rangers. In addition to updates on their cute kid (a family blog staple) they sometimes share tips on how to turn muskox into an entire wardrobe and build machines out of things you find out on the tundra. It is wild! Literally! Check it out.
