December 6: Peter J. Hayes

On December 6, we welcome author Peter J. Hayes for the release of his new book An American River Journal. A collection of short essays on the flora and fauna of the American River, An American River Journal is a great tribute to one of Sacramento’s best features! The book has terrific illustrations by Jo Glasson Smith.

Peter Hayes is author of An American River Almanac and edited The Outdoor World of the Sacramento Region (with Jo Smith) and The Lower American River, the best history of this historic waterway. He started his writing career as a reporter for UPI, before moving to Sacramento and becoming an editor for the Sacramento Union. In 2008 he was recognized as the Outstanding Volunteer of the Year by the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors for his service to the county’s regional parks.
