Local author Linda Lochard will discuss her novel, Life Along the Applegate Trail: A Tale of Grit and Determination. This work of historical fiction was inspired by her research of the true stories and diaries of pioneers traveling the Applegate Trail in 1846, as well as her own participation in the 51-day long 1996 Applegate Wagon Train re-enactment. Following the presentation, attendees will have the option to purchase a copy of the book. Refreshments will be served.
