Iowa author Carson Ode, of Des Moines, is to visit the Clarksville Library, 103 West Greene St., on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 6:30 p.m. to share his experience of traveling Iowa to research his three books.
Carson and his wife, Connie, have spent years traveling Iowa to discover the distinct essence that is uniquely Iowa and have published three beautiful books celebrating Iowa.
The books capture the history and culture of various communities (“Iowa Culture—Past and Present”), festivals (“Celebrate Iowa”) and places across the state (“Iowa—Spaces, Places, Faces”). In each book he features locations in every county.
“Iowa Culture — Past and Present,” features, as part of the Butler County section, the Clarksville Library’s Mark Pulis History Room and Francis Edeker’s Trains on the Farm (east of Clarksville). This is his latest book, Library Director Kristen Clark said.
