:

An Author’s Journey from
the Columbia to the History Channel
& More Tales of the Unremembered

Ken began his research on the Columbia Riverboat Disaster here at the TCGHS library a dozen or so years ago.  Since then he’s authored three more books and a local documentary on the Columbia as well as making an appearance on the History Channel.  Ken will share what he has learned as he developed as a historian, storyteller, and writer.
