Author Spotlight: David LaBella Returns with Into A Wilderness of the Soul: A New World of Earth and Mind...New Identities in the Americas Before, During, and After European Colonization
Join us for a profound evening with local author David LaBella as he presents his latest work, Into A Wilderness of the Soul. This compelling event delves into the colonial experience and its lasting impact on our own Connecticut towns.
Drawing from historical analysis and poignant first-hand accounts, David will explore how early European perceptions of the New World transformed over time. He will uncover lesser-known truths from the past five hundred years of Western exploration, revealing how Medieval Europe was propelled into the modern era.
The highlight of the evening is an extensive photographic essay showcasing the diverse and striking images found on the native stone markers in Connecticut’s oldest cemeteries. This visual journey offers a fascinating glimpse into the fears, hopes, and memories of early New Englanders, bringing their history to life in a way you've never seen before.
This is an unparalleled opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of our region's complex history. Space is limited, so we highly recommend securing your spot early!
