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.

Rainy Day Reading Reviews is a program developed by the Aberdeen Timberland Library to engage local booklovers. Here’s how it works: a library patron or friend is asked to read a book of her or his choosing, prepare a review of the book, then offer the review – in person and out-loud – at a public gathering. It’s all about reading, reflecting and sharing.
