Sunday, July 30, 3:00 - Professor Tim Willig, "Restoring the Chain of Friendship"
Restoring the Chain of Friendship; British Policy and the Indians of the Great Lakes, 1783-1815 is a fascinating book and therefore promises to be an interesting and informative presentation when the author speaks at the museum on Sunday, July 30. As I read the book, I found that it helped me understand the Ameican/Native relationships better by looking at it through the perspective of the British/Native alliances (chains of friendship.)
Books will be available at the museum, and Dr. Willig will be happy to personalize them.
The presentation will be held in the Community Room at 3:00.
