Join the librarians from the J.M. Longyear Research Library for an evening of learning during the Upper Peninsula History Book Club. Club members will have a chance to discuss the meeting’s pre-selected book and view related photographs, maps, and other treasures from the Marquette Regional History Center’s archival collections.
The club’s next two meetings will read:
August 20, “Laughing Whitefish” by Robert Traver, is based on the true story of a Marquette area Ojibwa woman’s legal battle against one of Marquette’s booming iron mining companies.
October 15, “The Alcatraz Camp” by Jane Kopecky OR “Wolf’s Mouth” by John Smolen, to prepare for a discussion on the Prisoner of War and Conscientious Objector camps in the Upper Peninsula during WWII.
Meetings are free and will be held upstairs at the Marquette Regional History Center, 145 W. Spring St. Marquette, MI. Readers near or far may also join by Zoom from our website, www.marquettehistory.org/UPHBC. For more info call 906.226.3571.
