Join us on March 25, 2023 at 11:30 a.m. at the Arizona History Museum in Tucson as we host author and historian Tom Zoellner. In 2019, Tom Zoellner hiked the 790-mile Arizona Trail. Not only did he journey through the physicality of Arizona — its canyons, mountains, cities, deserts, plateaus, reservoirs and small towns — but also through its astonishing history. Tom joins us to talk about his sojourn, which is brilliantly documented in his new book Rim to River: Looking into the Heart of Arizona. Not only is the book a quest for the origin of Arizona’s enigmatic name, but it’s also a probing look into the past: the roots of the state’s colorful politics, literary heritage, music, cuisine, geology, and complex mix of races and traditions—the whole dazzling combination of elements that make the 48th state a prism of the past and unique laboratory of the future.

Event Details
Join us virtually on June 22 at 12:00 p.m. with Journalist Melissa Sevigny as we brave the wild river to uncover the lives of two women who mapped the botany of the Grand Canyon!
In Brave the Wild River (W.W. Norton, 2023), science journalist Melissa L. Sevigny tells the story of two pioneering botanists, Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter, and their historic boat trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in the summer of 1938. At the time, the Colorado was famed as the most dangerous river in the world. But for Clover and Jotter, it held a tantalizing appeal: no one had surveyed the Grand Canyon’s plants, and they were determined to be the first. Through the vibrant letters and diaries of the two women, Sevigny traces their forty-three-day journey and explores how their botanical research remains vital to this day.
