Join us a MMPL for an evening of history, poetry, and conversation about the 2025 republication of Clell Goebel Gannon's 1924 Songs of the Bunch Grass Acres. Republished by The Digital Press at the University of North Dakota, this volume also includes Gannon's June 1925 "A Short Account of a Rowboat Journey from Medora to Bismarck," which appeared in the first volume of North Dakota History in 1926.
Northern Plains historian Aaron Barth authored the new introduction and will provide historical context and commentary on Gannon's works.
Aaron Barth is the executive director of the Northern Plains Heritage Alliance, which includes the Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation and the Northern Plains National Heritage Area. His work centers around advocating for and bringing awareness to the rich cultural, historical, and natural heritage of the Northern Plains.
