Author Talk - Robert Burns
Robert Burns, a Washington native, will discuss his latest book, "Rebels in the Wild: The Equality Colony and the Taming of American Capitalism," at Village Books in Bellingham on August 14 at 6 p.m. in the Readings Gallery.
"Rebels in the Wild" tells the extraordinary story of a socialist commune that was located about 12 miles south of Bellingham at the turn of the 20th century. Burns portrays the colorful cast of characters who were responsible for the rise and fall of the Equality colony and explains the experimental community’s wider importance in local and national history.
