Book signing at Stan Hywet of John Seiberling Biography Provided by Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens  |
| |
Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens hosts author Daniel Nelson at book signings on Sunday, November 22 from 1-4p.m. and
Friday, December 4 from 6:30-8:30p.m. during DECK THE HALL. Mr.
Nelson will be signing A PASSION FOR THE LAND, his new biography about the late John F. Seiberling.
Based largely on unpublished correspondence and other previously unused materials, this is the first and only biography of John F.
Seiberling (1918-2008), the grandson of F.A. and Gertrude Seiberling, founders of Stan Hywet Hall. John F. Seiberling was born and grew up on the Estate which overlooks the Cuyahoga valley. As a congressman from Akron, Seiberling became a leader in the conservation movement and was instrumental in creation of Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
The author provides a detailed examination of the congressman's role as a dedicated environmentalist and Seiberling's successful bipartisan campaign to protect the Cuyahoga Valley -which became a stepping-stone to other important conservation efforts around the country.
Daniel Nelson is emeritus professor of history at the University of Akron and former director of the University of Akron Press. He has authored many books, including Northern Landscapes: The Struggle for Wilderness Alaska and American Rubber Workers & Organized Labor, 1900-1941.
A PASSION FOR THE LAND is available for purchase in the Museum Store. For daytime shoppers, museum admission is not required for access to the conveniently located shop and adjacent cafe that are open from 10 am to 5 pm Tuesday - Sunday.
