Old Friends & A History Lesson...
For 35 years, Annie and I have been friends. A birthday isn't quite a birthday without her here to celebrate.
Pyramid Lake and the Imagined West was presented by author, Dr. Bernard Mergen who shared the incredible history of Pyramid Lake from the 1840s to the present in an educational and entertaining way at our library.
Dr. Mergen lived at Pyramid Lake in the mid-20th century. In his book, At Pyramid Lake, he writes on the cultural history of the location. The book conveys colorful stories of the residents and squatters, and visits from celebrities such as Herbert Hoover and Zane Grey. I left knowing so much more about this neighboring body of water and we've made plans to see it next week. Awesome way to end our day!
