"Lore of the Land: Myths, Folktales, and Legends from the Redwood Coast" with Paul Woodland
Channel: Humboldt County Historical Society
Date: 2020-03-19

Presentation by Paul Woodland - Saturday, June 2, 2019 at the Humboldt County Library (Eureka, CA). Hosted by the Humboldt County Historical Society. 

Ours is a region known for its folklore about the mysterious nomad Big Foot, but that is just a small part of the storytelling landscape of the Redwood Coast. Paul Woodland will share tales as tall as the redwoods, with as many twists and turns as the Eel River, and a real life adventure so outrageous it sounds implausible. You will hear about the mystifying disappearance of a prominent Humboldt County lake, the incredible voyage of Captain Courageous, and the last train ride from Luffenholtz, plus many more memorable tales. Woodland, born with a gift for gab, is described in the press as a "clever and captivating storyteller," "verbal artist," and "joyous public personality!"
