Guest Speaker Series: Thomas Reigstad, “The Illustrated Mark Twain and the Buffalo Express”

Wednesday, October 9, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

The Holland Land Office Museum is proud to announce the next edition of its Guest Speaker Series on Wednesday, October 9th at 7 pm. Thomas Reigstad will be presenting his new book, “The Illustrated Mark Twain and the Buffalo Express,” which was just published in February.
The book collects ten entertaining feature stories published by Mark Twain in the Buffalo Express of 1869 and 1870, accompanied by illustrations drawn by six artists over nearly 115 years alongside my commentary. There are drawings by Twain himself, by his contemporaries John Harrison Mills and True Williams, by Calvin and Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson, and by Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonists Tom Toles and Adam Zyglis.
Admission is $5 or $3 for museum members. Please contact the museum at 585-343-4727 or hollandlandoffice@gmail.com if you would like to attend.
“This project is made possible with funds from the statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by GO ART!”
