Drawing from The da Vinci Diaries by Jim La Malfa
HERITAGE DAY BOOK SIGNINGS Big Brown’s attempt to win horse racing’s Triple Crown won’t be the only excitement this Saturday. Local historian Darwin Adams, artist-writer Jan Ross Deetjen, and UW-Marinette art professor Jim LaMalfa will all be signing books at Heritage Day under the auspices of Aurora Books on Saturday, June 7, during business hours. This is a sure trifecta (although, technically, it is horses for courses as far as which book is “better”). Ok: I had better lay off the Winstrol or whatever.
Adams’ book, Escaping Quantrill’s Trap, How an Oneida Soldier Survived The Baxter Springs Massacre, a well-documented, lively history, examines the travails of the Third Wisconsin Cavalry in the Civil War, a unit that included his great-grandfather, John Adams, of the Oneida tribe. Deetjen’s Imagine, includes beautiful full-colored plates of her paintings interspersed with evocative poems. LaMalfa’s The da Vinci Diaries is a novel that “explore[s] the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci as if they were really built and worked in his lifetime” (Preface). The book includes illustrations by the author and by local artist Glenn Trybom.
Book prices: Escaping Quantrill’s Trap: $25.00 (hardcover); $16.00 (softcover); Imagine: $24.95; The da Vinci Diaries: $15.00
