Benefits Harford County Public Library

This year’s speaker is Fulbright fellow, PEN finalist and five-time Pulitzer Prize nominee Earl Swift, whose books have earned him a reputation for powerful narrative and scrupulous reporting. A New York Times editors’ choice, The Big Roads: The Untold Story of the Engineers, Visionaries, and Trailblazers Who Created the American Superhighways examines one of the ultimate creations devoted to journeying. These sprawling man-made wonders call to one’s wild side, evoking a feeling of possibility, literally reminding us of the road not taken.
