Third Tuesday Author: Jerry Sutherland

In the fall of 2014, Jerry Sutherland discovered that Bayocean—the four-mile-long sandspit that protects Tillamook Bay from the Pacific Ocean—had once hosted a thriving resort. His surprise at having seen no evidence of that while hiking there compelled Sutherland to look deeper and wider than anyone had before to figure out how a town could have so completely disappeared and what it meant to those who had lived there. As he started posting articles at www.bayocean.net in 2015, Grant McOmie took notice and asked Sutherland for help with a Grant’s Getaway. Three years later, Jule Gilfillan consulted him about an Oregon Field Guide special. Their interest, and that of publishers, prompted him to write Bayocean: Atlantis of Oregon.

Please join us on Tuesday, October 17 at 5:30 pm for Sutherland’s hour-long slide show which will include some of his most interesting discoveries. He will allow time for questions and have books available for sale and signing.

This event will take place in-person at the Library.
