Bound for the Backcountry author Richard Holm Jr. has spent eight years working on his new book. It features an epic Idaho backcountry story with local faces, places, and connections. Join us for a discussion, book signing and celebration of his brand-new book: In Selway Shadows: Last Flight of 148Z.

About the Book: On June 11, 1979, the US Forest Service endured its deadliest aviation disaster when a DC-3 with 12 people aboard crashed deep in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness of Idaho. Photographs taken by a backpacker caught one if the plane’s engines falling off midair before it plummeted into the whitewater of the Selway River. His photo made national news of the crash. The riveting narrative is not a single story: it consists of stories within stories, detailing events before and after, through the eyes of the survivors. Holm chronicles the heroism of rescue pilots, smokejumpers, boatmen, divers, government employees, investigators and vicitims’ families.
