Bill Lindstrom Discusses Infamous Grays Harbor Man @ Aberdeen Timberland Librar
Jan 25 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Lindstrom presents a lecture, “Villain or Victim: Revisiting the legend of John Tornow.”

Lindstrom’s meticulously researched history reads like a blend of mystery and tragedy. It reinterprets the life of an enigmatic man accused of heinous crimes.
The author poured over century-old court documents, transcripts, news
articles and interviews to produce an authoritative and compassionate account. He brings to life the circumstances – family, friends, daily routines, personal sorrows – that led to multiple murders, a 19-month manhunt and an enduring Northwest legend.
 
Books will be available for purchase and signing at this event.

Author Talk about Sasquatch with Author David George Gordon @ Amanda Park Timberland Library
Mar 18 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

People in the Northwest have reported encounters with Sasquatch for hundreds of years. There are footprint casts and eyewitness accounts, some from the earliest Northwestern inhabitants. With all this “evidence,” however, researchers have failed to scientifically prove the creature’s existence.

Author David George Gordon will discuss the data, the scientific method, and the possibilities that Sasquatch exists at the Amanda Park Timberland Library, Saturday, March 18 from 2-3 p.m.
