DAYLIGHT IN THE SWAMPS
Tall Tales, True Stories, & Foot-Tapping Songs from Bill Jamerson
Children ages 6-12 and parents
Mon., Mar. 12, 4-4:45 PM
Library's Greenfield Banking Co. Community Rm.
Register online. (Parents should also register.)
Author and PBS filmmaker Bill Jamerson visited over two dozen lumberjack museums and camps over the past decade where he collected tales and true stories about the young men who worked for the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps.) during the Great Depression.
 They learned the importance of hard work, thrift, and sacrifice in this organization that required the boys to send most of their money home.
Journey back to the days of choppers and skidders, when lumberjacks ate huge breakfasts before entering the woods for a long day of chopping and hauling logs. The only thing bigger than their appetites were the tall tales they told in the bunkhouse. Jamerson shares many of these tales along with true stories about the lives of walking bosses, river hogs, top loaders and teamsters.
This program is part of the Hancock County Public Library's Big Read events through March that celebrate John Steinbeck's novel, The Grapes of Wrath. The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. |
