Returning North with the Spring (Event canceled due to storm damage on July 10)

July 11 7:00 pm John Harris

At winter's end in 1947, driven by the devastating loss of a son killed in World War II, naturalist Edwin Way Teale and his wife Nellie followed the dawning spring season northward in an amazing 17,000 mile odyssey from the Everglades to Maine.

Teale wrote about the adventure in the best-selling book North with the Spring.

Following in the footsteps of one of the sweetest adventures any American ever took, John Harris demonstrates that the beauty of the American East, even on a warming planet, is still hauntingly deep.
