While conducting research for her book, Saundra Middleton found that the American perception of the man credited for starting the town of Kirkland greatly differed from how he is remembered in England. One is based on failure, the other, success. At the heart of both versions of Peter Kirk is his steel mill, Moss Bay Hematite Iron & Steel Company. Join a fascinating discussion with Saundra about “The Two Peter Kirks.”

Kirkland historian and author Matthew McCauley will help to moderate.

Special thanks to The King County Library System (https://kcls.org) for organizing this discussion.
