The Twenty-Ninth Day: Surviving a Grizzly Attack in the Canadian Tundra
Algonquin - main floor Sun 12:30pm-1:15pm
A six-hundred-mile canoe trip in the Canadian wilderness is a seventeen-year-old's dream adventure, but after he is mauled by a grizzly bear, it's all about staying alive.
Please join us for a presentation by Alex Messenger, author of Wall Street Journal Bestseller, The Twenty-Ninth Day. This true-life wilderness survival epic recounts Alex's near-lethal encounter with a grizzly bear during a remote canoe trip through the Canadian far North. Alex will talk about the challenges of such a trip, the trauma of the attack, and how he and his friends used their resilience, ingenuity, and dogged perseverance after the worst had happened, to try to reach help at a remote village a thousand miles north of the US-Canadian border.
Alex's presentation tells a coming-of-age story like no other, filled with inspiring subarctic landscapes, thrilling riverine paddling, and a trial by fire of the human spirit.
