Description
UWRF geologist Bill Cordua talks about the fascinating history of southwest Wisconsin's Driftless Area, where half-million-year-old mountain tops mix with a topography untouched by the most recent glacier to scour Wisconsin 100,000 years ago. This is the area of Wisconsin where our River Falls Reads author, Ben Logan grew up on a small family farm. In his book, Ben painted a vibrant picture of the land and its people. Bill will give us background on how this unique region came to be. This beautiful part of our state would make a great vacation destination and now you can know more about its geological history. Bill is a popular speaker at the library and his lectures are always fascinating
