Columbia County Historical Society Lecture & Book Signing w/ Glenn Pearsall

The Columbia County Historical Society presents a lecture & book signing with Adirondack Historian and Author, Glenn Pearsall.

The Columbia County Historical Society presents a lecture & book signing with Adirondack Historian and Author, Glenn Pearsall.

Pearsall will speak about his new fiction book, “Leaves Torn Asunder.” Based on true events, Pearsall’s research included diaries, soldiers’ letters home, visits to Civil War battle sites and historical documents such as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Pearsall researched the lives of several local men who fought in the Civil War, but didn’t want to write another book about “dates and statistics.” The challenge, with writing a novel, he said, was bringing the story to life through speech and mannerisms.

Ghostly Gallop Fall Classic 5K

This Sunday is the 17th Ghostly Gallop 5K run/walk race.  The fundraiser to support the Hudson Area Library was created by former Library Director Frank Rees, current County Court Judge Richard Koweek, and the Honorable William F. Cranna, (both Library Board members), the race was initially called a FUNdraiser – with less emphasis on peak performance and more on enjoyment. With Cranna’s passing in 2011, the annual race was dedicated to his memory and a new tradition was added to the festivities, The William F. Cranna Memorial Cup. Known for his great wit and love of reading, Cranna was dedicated to making the Library a better place.

2017 marks the third year that the race will be held on a USATF Certified and Sanctioned course, that not only allows accurate timing, but avoids busy city streets.

DATE/TIME:
Sunday, October 22, 2017.
Start time is 11:30AM sharp

LOCATION:
The race begins at Hudson High School
208 Harry Howard Ave
Hudson, NY 12534
