Join participating area libraries and the Fargo/Moorhead community for an author visit by Natalie Warren, author of "Hudson Bay Bound." The program will be held October 19 at the Concordia Centrum.

All are welcome to this free presentation by "Hudson Bay Bound" author Natalie Warren, as she shares her experiences of making a groundbreaking, 2,000-mile canoe journey, as well as her work to record that journey in this book.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. 
Admission is free; books will be available for purchase from Zandbroz Variety. This program is offered free-of-charge thanks to funding from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund. 

The book tells the remarkable 85-day journey of the first women to canoe the 2,000-mile route from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay. Following the route made famous by Eric Sevareid in his 1935 classic “Canoeing with the Cree,” Natalie Warren and Ann Raiho faced unexpected trials, some harrowing and some simply odd. Along the way, the two friends encounter occasional pitfalls that test character and friendship. Warren’s account retraces the women’s journey from inspiration to Arctic waters, giving readers an insider view from the practicalities of planning a three-month canoe expedition to the successful accomplishment of the adventure of a lifetime. The book follows these modern women (and their dog) as they recreate this historic trip, including the pleasures and perils, the sexism, the social and environmental implications and the enduring wonder of the wilderness.
