Join us as Valerie Battle Kienzle presents her new book, Columbia, an illustrated history of Columbia, Missouri. Her interest in history is closely tied to her family: she, her brother, and her mother share ownership of a restored home and farmland that have been in the family since 1796. A 1980 graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia, she has worked for more than 30 years in various writing-related positions, including newspaper reporter, corporate public affairs manager, advertising account representative, school district communications writer, and freelance writer. She is the author of St. Charles, published in 2012 as part of Arcadia Publishing Company's Postcard History Series.
