Join us as George Frazier, author of "The Last Wild Places of Kansas," discusses his journeys through the Great Plains and Midwest while researching his new book, "Riverine Dreams: Away to the Glorious and Forgotten Grassland Rivers of America." Prepare for tales of strange riverine forests left over from the ice age, leviathan fish migrations, modern grizzlies roaming the plains, endangered plants as rare as mastodon ivory, an audacious plan to return 10,000 bison to a Great Plains biosphere reserve, and of course, river otter mayhem. If you thought you knew about the wild lands of Kansas and the surrounding states, get ready for some surprises. Grassland rivers are the most unheralded gems of the entire American backcountry, and Frazier will tell us about the “Grassland River Revival” he discovered while exploring eight of the wildest stretches of rivers that remain.
