The Revelstoke Museum & Archives held a great book launch on Thursday, June 25, for Curator Cathy English’s first book, Brown Bag History: Revelstoke Origins. The 12-chapter book features 12 of the 200 Brown Bag stories about our community’s fascinating history that Cathy has written since 2003 so we’ll almost certainly see additional volumes in the future. Congratulations, Cathy! Here are a few photos from the event: Revelstoke Museum & Archives Curator Cathy English talks to the crowd that attended the launch of her first book, Brown Bag History: Revelstoke Origins, on Thursday, June 25. The museum has published other books but this the first one that Cathy has researched and written herself. The 12 chapters in the soft-soaper book are based on her popular Brown Bag History talks. Cathy has written 200 Brown Bag History lectures so we can confidently predict that we’ll addition volumes produced over the coming years. David F.
