The Hudson Valley in the Ice Age by Robert and Johanna Titus
Yesterdays’ News at the Roxbury Corner Store will host a lecture and book signing on Saturday, August 3, 2013, from 3-5 pm with Dr. Robert Titus & Johanna Titus, experts on the ice age glaciers that were instrumental in the formation of the mountains and valleys of the region. They will speak about the geological history of the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley and especially how the most recent ice age (12,000 years ago) was extremely critical in the development of the topography of our area. The lecture will be followed by a reception and book signing featuring their new book, The Hudson Valley in the Ice Age, published by Black Dome Press.
