Author John Odin Jensen.
We're far from the coasts here in Wisconsin, but the shores of the Great Lakes are not so very far and both Michigan and Superior loom large in local legends. John Odin Jensen has written Stories from the Wreckage, about Great Lakes shipwrecks from the age of wooden ships. Jensen, himself a shipwreck survivor, has a degree in history from Lawrence University, a master's degree in maritime history and underwater archaeology from East Carolina University, and a doctorate from Carnegie Mellon University. His position in the history department at the University of West Florida has not kept him from the Great Lakes! His Book Bites talk will stream live on the WHS Press Facebook page.
media release: Join us for "Book Bites" - a new series of brief Facebook Live book talks from the Wisconsin Historical Society Press exploring all things Wisconsin! The series will stream on the WHS Press Facebook page on the first and third Wednesday of each month.
