Program Description

Event Details

Wine and cheese reception at 3:30pm.  Please Join the Friends for this Special Event! NY Times #1 Bestselling Author David Grann will talk about his new book, The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder. 

Drawing on logbooks, diaries, court-martial testimony, and government records, David Grann mounts a chilling, vibrant narrative about a maritime scandal—the true saga of a company of British naval officers and crew who in 1742 were stranded on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia and descended into murderous anarchy. 

Award-winning writer at The New Yorker, Grann is also the author of The Lost City of Z and Killers of the Flower Moon, which has been adapted into an upcoming major motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Jesse Plemons.
