On Monday, November 3rd, Dr. Jim Schroeder will be giving a presentation/discussion starting at 5:30 PM at the Shawneetown Library.  He will be selling his books and doing a signing after the book talk.  The talk will focus on his newest book entitled On the Trail With My Kids:  From the Ohio River to the Mighty Mississippi.  The book details the 4-year journey of segment hiking the River to River trail with his four oldest kids, and other friends and family that joined along the way.  Part comedic travelogue, part historical commentary, part personal reflection on life’s uncertainties, and part backpacking guide with kids, On the Trail With My Kids is a book for those who would like to experience the richness and rewards that a long walk and a night in the woods can have for mind, body, and soul.
