A dear friend and a former Executive Director of the Jackson Center, Rolly Kidder is set to celebrate the release of his latest book, Backtracking in Brown Water.
Rolly is a Navy Vietnam War veteran, serving as a Patrol Boat Officer with River Division 535 in the Mekong Delta in 1969-70. He won the Writer's Digest Best Life Stories Award for his first book A Hometown Went to War, an oral history of 37 WWII veterans. Rolly's second historical non-fiction work, Backtracking in Brown Water, journeys back to the rivers and canals of South Vietnam and recounts life on Patrol Boats in the heart of the Mekong Delta. Books will be available for purchase the evening of the event and The Jackson Center will be a local distributor of the book.
This event is proudly sponsored by the Robert H. Jackson Center and the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. For more information please contact the Robert H. Jackson Center at 716-483-6646. Find Directions here.
