PICTURING HEMINGWAY'S MICHIGAN
Thursday, August 19th at 7:00PM - Melrose Township Hall
The Friends of the Crooked Tree District Library will host a reception and program featuring Michael R. Federspiel, author of Picturing Hemingway's Michigan. Mike is a professor of history at Central Michigan University and is also president of the Michigan Hemingway Society. He has been a collector of Hemingway memorabilia for many years and has done research in Cuba, Key West, the Ernest Hemingway Exhibit at the Kennedy Library in Boston, Oak Park, Illinois, as well as here in Northern Michigan. His book contains over 200 pictures with stories of Ernest and his family in the Walloon Lake area and other locations throughout Northern Michigan. He was able to incorporate other images of the Petoskey area including hotels, train stations, and railroads all from the early 1900s when the Hemingway family spent their summers on Walloon. Mike will have books available for sale and signing after his talk.
