Cheney-Spokane Ice Age Institute brings local author to Auntie's

Many local charities can provide some great opportunities to save on taxes

In January 2003 Whitman College professor of geology and environmental studies Bob Carson began writing a book about Wallula Gap, just down the Columbia River from the delta of the Walla Walla River. 

Wanting to add biology, archeology, and history, he enlisted the support of local experts Mike Denny, Catherine Dickson, Tom Edwards, and Larry Dodd. Carson and Denny wrote a road log through Wallula Gap from Sand Station to the town of Wallula and invited other photographers John and Paul Clement, Dianne Kornberg, Bob Baker, and Kathy Farrell Guizar to add more photographs.

Carson will discuss the Wallula area as a microcosm of the Inland Pacific Northwest and how the book came to be at Auntie's Bookstore auditorium, 402 W. Main, in Spokane on Nov. 13 at 6:30 p.m. Carson's talk is sponsored by the Ice Age Floods Institute, Cheney-Spokane Chapter and Auntie's Bookstore. A book signing will be held at the close of the lecture.
