Gunflint Falling: Blowdown in the Boundary Waters Author Talk
Event Navigation

Minnesota author, Cary J. Griffith, will present on his latest book, Gunflint Falling: Blowdown in the Boundary Waters. On July 4, 1999, in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), a bizarre confluence of meteorological events resulted in the most damaging blowdown in the region’s history. Gunflint Falling tells the story of this devastating storm from the perspectives of those who were on the ground before, during and after the catastrophic event—from first-time visitors to the north woods to returning paddlers to Forest Service Rangers.
Griffith is a recipient of the Minnesota Book Award and the Midwest Book Award. This program is geared towards ages 10+. Meet in the Green Room.
