Description
The Frederic Remington Art Museum invites the public to the next meeting of the Remington Book Club on Tuesday, May 9 at noon. The Book Club, which meets monthly, explores the writings of Frederic Remington. The Club is free and open to the public, and has a hybrid format, so that participants can join the conversation in person at the Museum or virtually via Zoom. The Club meets on the second Tuesday of each month at noon, so that even working people can participate during lunch.
The next meeting of the Remington Book Club will discuss four stories from Remington’s 1900 collection of stories and articles called Men with the Bark On. The four stories are: “The Story of the Dry Leaves,” “A Failure of Justice,” “Sorrows of Don Tomas Pidal, Reconcentrado,” and “When a Document is Official.” The stories include a tale of bleak isolation in the Manitoba wilderness; a humorous romance set in a colorful military depot; the pathetic history of a homeless war refugee in Cuba; and an unsettling story of the power and status we give to documents.
The meeting will take place on Tuesday, May 9 at noon, in person in the Museum’s Tiffany Room and online via Zoom. To learn more and to register, you can call 315-393-2425 or email desmond@fredericremington.org
The full text of Men with the Bark On, including the four stories to be discussed this month, is available digitally for free here through Open Library.
