Museum Speaker Series – Author Robert Kuck II

April 10, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Presentation: Blood and Honor; The Life and Times of Fur Trader, Pierre Louis de Lorimier (1748 -1812)
Presentation is free of charge and will be held at the Fort Recovery Nazarene Center, 403 E Boundary St., Fort Recovery, Ohio.
It is so exciting that this author of “Blood and Honor” is coming to Fort Recovery. But in order to make that possible, the museum will be presenting him BEFORE our museum officially opens for the 2022 season.
Bob lives in Sarasota, FL but is scheduled to appear at Wright State University on April 9, so it made financial sense to incorporate his appearance at Fort Recovery on his scheduled trip North. Please mark your calendars for this “promised to be great” appearance. I just finished this book in January, so I enthusiastically put my personal endorsement on the interest aroused and information contained in Blood and Honor!
Blood and Honor explores the life of French fur trader Pierre-Louis de Lorimier from his birth in Quebec in 1748 until his death in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in 1812. Since this is the exact time period leading up to, during and following “our” Wabash Indian/Army battle history, Kuck’s book really helps to “paint the complete picture.” Unlike most of our previous speakers and the books we sell, the events in Blood and Honor are described from the perspective and experiences of the French and Native Americans.
Pierre-Louis de Lorimier led a fascinating life, and Kuck certainly did it justice in the telling of his story. It will give you new and captivating ideas to contemplate. (thanks patron Ken Soward for the recommendation.)
