University of Mississippi professor Robert Colby will welcome Amanda Bellows to talk about her new novel The Explorers: A New History of America in Ten Expeditions at Square Books on July 30 at 5 pm.
The Explorers tells the story of a diverse group of Americans, including Sacajawea and Sally Ride, “who went to the western frontier and beyond, traversing the farthest reaches of the globe and even penetrating outer space in their endeavor to find the unknown”, according to the book’s description.
This biographical undertaking looks at people whose lives were “circumscribed by racism, sexism, poverty, and discrimination as they took on great risk in unfamiliar territory.”
Readers can reserve a signed copy of The Explorers here and those who wish to attend virtually can do so on Square Books’ Facebook page.
