Hi everyone! Mark your calendars for our Friends of the Bloomsburg University Library Association's 13th Annual Author's Dinner! This year, it will be on April 17th and will be held at Monty's on the University's Upper Campus. Reception and music will begin at 6:00 pm with the dinner following at 6:30 pm.
This year's honoree and speaker is David Minderhout, professor emeritus of Anthropology at Bloomsburg University, author of Native Americans in the Susquehanna River Valley, Past and Present.
The first volume in the new Stories of the Susquehanna Valley series by Bucknell University Press, the book describes the Native American presence in the Susquehanna River Valley, a key crossroads of the old Eastern Woodlands between the Great Lakes and the Chesapeake Bay in northern Appalachia. Combining archaeology, history, cultural anthropology, and the study of contemporary Native American issues, contributors describe what is known about the Native Americans from their earliest known presence in the valley to the contact era with Europeans. They also explore the subsequent consequences of that contact for Native peoples, including the removal, forced or voluntary, of many from the valley, in what became a chilling prototype for attempted genocide across the continent.
The cost of the dinner is $30 per person and please contact Steven Cohen at drscohen@ptd.net for further information on menu options and reservations. Payment information can be found on the flyer below.
