The History Center - Book Reading
<p>The book is entitled <em>Kaleidoscope</em>, and consists of over 80 short remembrances from everyday life. The stories are the type of stories that were shared at family reunions in earlier decades.</p><p>The reading will include portions of <strong>Robert Chadima’s </strong><em>“Melting Assets”</em> about the ice industry, <strong>Anita Burke’s </strong><em>“River Bottom Farm” </em>in which she shares childhood memories about her family farm which the U.S. Corps of Engineers took by eminent domain to create the Coralville Reservoir, <strong>Carol Wohlleben’s </strong><em>“The Class Act,” </em>about the formation of the Culinary Arts Program at Kirkwood, and <strong>Racheal Davis’ </strong><em>“The Midnight Ride”</em> about her ancestor William Dawes who in 1775 reached Concord, Massachusetts to warn the patriots that<em> “The British Are Coming”. </em> Henry Wordsworth Longfellow’s poem credits Paul Revere. However, that is not historically true. Revere never made it to Concord. He was captured shortly after leaving Lexington.</p><p>This event is free and open to the public.</p>
