Event Details

Join author and community member Boyd Pratt to celebrate and discuss his new book, The Disputed Islands: Ordinary Life in Extraordinary Times, The San Juans, 1850-1874.

 

“An American farmer shoots an English pig, sparking a war over an international boundary. Explore the disputed islands through the ordinary lives of the multi-ethnic, polyglot communities that lived in the San Juans during this conflict: how these islanders make their homes, work and socialize, and resolve their differences.”
