Please join us for a presentation by two local authors whose books are set in the California gold rush country of the mid-19th century, when tensions and fortunes were as volatile as the ground prospectors mined.
The speakers will be Mary Volmer, author of Crown Of Dust which makes a vital contribution to the literature of women living in the Mother Lode, and Elaine Zorbas author of Banished and Embraced: the Chinese in Fiddletown and the Mother Lode. The program will be moderated by AAUW Programs Vice President Helen Bonner, also a local author. The program is being hosted by the Amador Branch of American Association of University women, AAUW.
The program is open to the public. All those interested in learning more about Amador’s history and authors are invited to attend with no fee, and light refreshments served. Date is Thursday, January 21st from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM and will be held in the Amador First 5 facility, located in the Margaret Dalton Center, 975 Broadway in Jackson.
