“Reading Wyoming” book discussion at Fort Caspar Museum Feb. - May

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 3:36 PM MST

Fort Caspar Museum and Fort Caspar Museum Association are hosting a reading and discussion series, “Community and the Western Landscape.” The discussion group meets at the museum on Feb. 18, March 18, April 15 and May 13 at 6:30 p.m. and is free and open to people of all ages. To register and borrow books, contact Erin Rose at 235-8462.

Participants will read and discuss “This House of Sky” by Ivan Doig; “Death Comes for the Archbishop” by Willa Cather; “Refuge, An Unnatural History of Family and Place” by Terry Tempest Williams; and “River Song” by Craig Lesley. All of these books explore the West’s diverse areas and history, and they examine how individuals have interacted with its landscape. Nicole Bryant, an English instructor at Casper College, will lead the discussions.

The program is offered by the Wyoming Humanities Council. Reading Wyoming provides reading and discussion series to nonprofit organizations around the state and is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
