This event begins at 7:00pm Arizona/Pacific Time.

In 2019, the year that American Rivers named the Gila “America’s Most Endangered River,” Jon Fuller paddled, hiked and biked the entire Gila River, from its headwaters at the Continental Divide in New Mexico to the river’s mouth at Yuma, Arizona.  Jon’s journey is the longest known solo canoe trip on the Gila, and the longest boat trip of any kind on the Gila since 1891. “Gila River Elegy” weaves the story of Jon’s epic trip around the story of the Gila’s rich history. The book is equal parts exciting adventure tale, fascinating historical narratives, and insightful observations about the historical and on-going land and water management practices that endanger the very life of the Gila.  Join us for a humorous, reflective, and poignant tour of the life, death, and rebirth of one of the great rivers of the American Southwest. 

This event is a fundraiser for Bright Side Bookshop. Proceeds from all Gila River Elegy sold at https://www.vishnutemplepress.com between September 4 and September 12, 2020, will go to Bright Side Bookshop.
