I gave a virtual author talk via Zoom with the South Hadley Public Library in South Hadley, MA on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
Description: Above the Oxbow explores the rich history and stories surrounding Mount Holyoke, one of Western Massachusetts’ most beloved landmarks. Author Danielle Raad reveals how people have experienced, shaped, and fought to preserve the mountain over the past two centuries. Discover stories of the historic Summit House, a long-gone tramway, an airplane crash, and the community efforts that protected this treasured landscape. Raad is a public historian, anthropologist, archaeologist, curator, and professor of history and museum studies at the University of Georgia.
