Description
In June 1930, Monterey marine biologist Ed Ricketts was photographed in the kelp bed at Port Townsend, Washington, by Jack Calvin–his co-author of “Between Pacific Tides” (1939). That photograph only recently opened the door to the realization that this revolutionary naturalist that brought Ecology into mainstream awareness had traveled extensively throughout the shoreline Pacific Northwest in the 1930s researching and developing that essential concept. Recognition for that role and importance of the Pacific Northwest is about to be celebrated as a new horizon in history, literature, ecology, and destination travel emerges through research.
Michael Kenneth Hemp, Monterey, California historian will present a historical photo and archival PowerPoint presentation of the New Horizons for Pacific Northwest History at the Mason County Historical Society Museum in Shelton, Washington, at 2:00 PM on Saturday, September 29th. Admission is free and open to the public.
