The American Inspiration author series by American Ancestors New England Historic Genealogical (NEHGS) present author John N. Maclean and his new work about his family and the beauty and tradition of fishing in Montana
A book that will resonate with everyone who feels deeply rooted to a landscape, "Home Waters" is chronicle of a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, of how this family came of age in the 20th century and later as they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, yet were always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. Here are the true stories behind the beloved characters fictionalized in "A River Runs Through It." A universal story about nature, family, and the art of fly fishing, Maclean’s memoir beautifully portrays the inextricable ways our personal histories are linked to the places we come from—our home waters. Don’t miss hearing about this book and visiting with the remarkable Western family made famous in literature and by Hollywood.
This program is brought to you by the Brue Family Learning Center at American Ancestors NEHGS.
Join us Wednesday June 9th at 6 p.m. in welcoming John N. Maclean for his book Home Waters. Which will release on June 1st. In Home Waters, Maclean returns to the Blackfoot River, made famous by his father in the novel A River Runs Through It. Beginning with his earliest memories of fly-fishing with his father on the river, Maclean passionately explores the history of his family's life in the region as they became well-respected members of the community and developed an abiding love for the land. Chronicling his family's love and connection with the Blackfoot River throughout history, Maclean meditates on four generations of Macleans and their connection with the river and fly-fishng. Maclean will be in conversation with Andy Weiner an avid fly-fisher and the author of the award-winning children’s fly fishing book Down By the River.
