General Meeting: John Maclean Presents Maclean Country

Maclean Country 

Join us in welcoming renowned author and son of Norman Maclean (A River Runs Through It) who will streaming to us live at the Kettle Creek Environmental Education Center for a PowerPoint program and commentary about the Maclean family legacy in Montana and elsewhere. Illustrated with contemporary and family photographs, the presentation explores the background of Home Waters and A River Runs through It.

John N. Maclean is an award-winning author, journalist, and life member of Trout Unlimited. He spent thirty years at the Chicago Tribune, most of that time as a Washington correspondent. After leaving the Tribune, Maclean wrote a series of non-fiction books about wildland fire, beginning with Fire on the Mountain, that are considered a staple of fire literature. His memoir, Home Waters: A Chronicle of Family and a River, has been hailed as lyrical tribute to his home state of Montana and a worthy follow to his father’s novella, A River Runs through It. Upcoming: Maclean wrote the foreword to the centennial edition of Ernest Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River,” scheduled for publication by Mariner Classics on May 9. Maclean, an avid fly fisherman, divides his time between Washington, D.C., and a family cabin at Seeley Lake, Montana.
