MONDAY BOOK CLUB
November 3rd | 12 noon
All are invited to join the Monday Book Club, which meets on the first Monday of each month at noon in Galloway's Parlor.
Currently, we’re halfway through John Barry’s ‘Rising Tide’, a great story about the 1927 Mississippi River flood, which follows the flood and its effects on the Mississippi Delta and the Corps of Engineers’ work toward controlling the Mississippi River. We’ve covered the first half of the book and will meet on 11/3 to complete our discussion, picking up at Part 4, Chapter 17. The remainder of the book explores the flood in New Orleans, the federal government’s response, and its ongoing impact on us today. The politics of 1927 strangely echo those of today.
Please join us if you’re interested.
