WINTHROP — Author, photographer and historian Jeffrey Ryan will read from and discuss his book, “Appalachian Odyssey,” at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 28, at the Bailey Public Library, 39 Bowdoin St.
The event is the first in a 10-part series that will explore outdoor recreation. The series will run until October.
The book recounts Ryan’s three decade and 2,100 mile journey on the Appalachian Trail using history, visuals and storytelling.
Ryan, who climbed Maine’s highest 50 mountains in one year, was born and raised in Maine. He has written several books about his outdoor exploits, his fascination with hiking trails and the people and places found just off the beaten path.
His books are known for weaving history into walks across contemporary landscapes. When Ryan isn’t trekking, chasing down a great story or spinning yarns from his keyboard, he enjoys sharing his adventures with audiences who love the outdoors.
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call the library at 207-377-8673.
