Ken Zurski, Local Author
will present:
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.

Ken released his first book, The Wreck of the Columbia, in 2012. Peoria Stories was his second book, Unremembered was his third, and Unremembered Book 2 is his fourth.
