Musician Dan Berggren will be
playing Civil War Era music at Grant Cottage, on Mt. McGregor. Dan Berggren's
roots are firmly in the Adirondacks where he was raised but his music has
branched out across many borders. The award-winning musician and educator grew
up on the land farmed by his mother's family for generations and has worked in
the woods with forest rangers and survey crews. Hearing stories and songs from
local friends and neighbors, Dan has developed a style that captures the spirit
of the mountains.

Join us to
celebrate the U.N.'s International Day of Peace by learning about the
relationship between people and the gardens of Earth, seed preservation, Native
diets and meals, natural pest control, and the importance of the Circle of
Life.
Our presenter is
storyteller and author Joseph (Joe) Bruchac of Greenfield Center, N.Y. The
program is based on his book, Native American Gardening. The book was
co-authored with Michael J. Caduto and shares stories, projects, and recipes
for families. Joe's poems, articles, and stories have appeared in over 500
publications, and he is the author of more than 170 books for adults and
children. Much of his writing is drawn from his connection to the Adirondack
Mountain foothills town where he grew up and his Abenaki ancestry.
This is the second program in our
2024 Grant Cottage Literary Landmark Author Series. A book
signing will follow the program.

In Greek
mythology, the centaur was a creature with the upper body of a man and the
lower body of a horse. When James Longstreet was a cadet at West Point, he
watched fellow cadet Ulysses S. Grant become the best horseman the Academy had
ever seen. Grant's control of a mount was so flawless and fluid that animal and
human seemed to become one. "Rider and horse held together like the fabled
centaur!" gasped Longstreet.
Grant's love of
horses began when he was a toddler and stayed with him, in war and peace, his
entire life. For our 3rd and final Grant Cottage Literary
Landmark Author Series program in 2024, Grant Cottage tour guide and
author Steve Trimm will share this wonderful equestrian. His books, Saving
Grant Cottage and General Grant's Supporting Players are available
for sale in the Cottage's visitor center bookstore (Steve donates all profits
from the books' sales to the Friends of Grant Cottage).
