President Jimmy Carter's Quote About the Book:
“The Columbia River Gorge is an iconic American landscape, blessed with unspeakable beauty, rich in tribal culture, and made historic by the travels of Lewis and Clark. Peter Marbach's exquisite imagery and Janet Cook's eloquent essays remind us of the simple joys of connecting with the land and the importance of preserving precious sites for the generations to come.”
The event begins with a reception and book signing at 6:30 pm with Peter Marbach and Janet Cook.
At 7:00 pm Peter and Janet will be presenting a slideshow and lecture presentation surrounding their new book: Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area: 25th Anniversary Commemorative Edition.
