River area subject of lecture
Historian John Bradbury will present on the frontier history of the Clearwater River areas this Thursday as part of the Historical Museum at St. Gertrude’s lecture series. His interest was sparked in the Clearwater history after writing an article about Idaho’s first courthouse at Pierce City for the state bar magazine. He wrote several articles for the Clearwater Tribune to celebrate the county’s centennial in 2011. With the readers encouragement he decided to write a book to document all his information. John has been learning about Clearwater history from an early age. He was born in Orofino and reared in a logging town now known as Pierce. After practicing maritime law for twenty-five years at Seattle and Anchorage, he retired back to Idaho, where he taught at Lewis-Clark State College as an adjunct professor. He currently serves on the boards of the Clearwater Historical Society and its museum at Orofino and the Northwest Children’s Home at Lewiston. This is the third lecture in the 15th Annual Fall Lecture Series presented by the Historical Museum at St. Gertrude. These events, held on Thursdays during the month of October, provide insights into the history of our region. Lectures begin at 7:00 p.m. and end at 8:30 p.m. and each event includes a Q&A session with the presenter. Light refreshments are provided. All lectures are FREE. These lectures are made possible by the Idaho Humanities Council. The events are held in the Johanna Room at Spirit Center at the Monastery of St. Gertrude located at 465 Keuterville Road, Cottonwood, Idaho. For further information on the Lecture Series, contact the Museum at 208-962-2054.
