The Olympic Peninsula is generally characterized as a land of forests. But while there are many forests and while forest potential exists nearly everywhere else, what settlers found when they arrived was a richer landscape of forests, open woodlands, savannas and prairies. What was not appreciated was that these openings were the work of native people managing the landscape to better serve their needs. What greeted the settlers eyes suggested great promise. But the Olympic Peninsula challenged the settlers’ toolbox in ways they hadn’t expected and often they were discouraged as their efforts to farm went unrewarded.

In 2009, shortly after its inception, Westport Winery hosted its first lecture on Kurt Cobain. At that time, his grandfather Leland was able to share his memories as well. He has passed, but his co-presenter that day, Jeff Burlingame, will return to Westport Winery on Sunday, March 23 from 3pm to 5pm for a personal appearance.
Jeff, an NAACP Image Award-winning author of more than 30 books, will be signing his most recent book, a biography for teens and adults titled, Kurt Cobain: Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind. This insightful and carefully researched biography hit No.1 on Amazon’s teen sales charts on its release.
Burlingame also will sign two of his other titles: George Varnell: The Life and Times of a Pioneering Sportsman and Moon Olympic Peninsula, which has been the number one Olympic Peninsula book in the U.S. for 10 years. All these incredible reads can be purchased at the event, or you can bring your own copy for signing by this award-winning local author.
No reservations are required for Jeff Burlingam’s book signing. The winery will announce another book signing in May with a New York Times best-selling author.
