South Lake Tahoe’s Friends of the Library is putting on two events in September.

The first in Sept. 15 at 6pm. In partnership with the Lake Tahoe Historical Society the Friends are bringing back author Mary Jo Sonntag. Her presentation will answer questions about the early pioneers in the area, what pioneer life was really like, and what diseases pioneers experience.

Her award-winning book, “Write, If You Live to Get There” tells the true story of her ancestors’ migration from Vermont to Tahoe through a series of family letters spanning more than 120 years. Book sale and signing to follow.

On Sept. 19 at 1pm author Jackie Boor will present “LOGAN: The Honorable Life and Scandalous Death of a Western Lawman”. Boor is the great-granddaughter of this historic sheriff and has unearthed the untold story of his 1906 murder. Dealing with rowdy miners, drunken gamblers, and even Wild West legends like Wyatt Earp was a routine part of the job for onetime Sheriff Logan. This is a story steeped in local history (Logan Shoals and Logan Creek are named for this historic sheriff). There will be a question and answer session, book sale and signing to follow.

Both events are free and at the library on Rufus Allen Boulevard.
