Michigan Notable Author to visit Boyne District Library May 25

A Michigan Polar Bear book cover

Gordon Olson will discuss "A Michigan Polar Bear Confronts the Bolsheviks" at 7 p.m. in the Library's Community Room.

Many Michigan soldiers, including those from our area, were sent to Russia near the end of World War I to fight the Red Army. They faced horrendous conditions and excruciatingly cold temperatures. Godfrey Anderson, whose memoir Olson edited, is featured in the film "Voices of a Never Ending Dawn," which was screened at the Boyne City Performing Arts Center in October of 2009.

Local Flavor will be on hand for a book signing immediately following the talk.

"Libraries level the playing field. Libraries unite people and make their resources available to everone in the community, regardless of social status. There are more public libraries than McDonald's restaurants."
