Gilbert King and Craig Pittman In Conversation On the Florida Panther

Gilbert King and Craig Pittman In Conversation On the Florida Panther

Author:
Craig Pittman, Gilbert King
Add to my watchlist

Live program + Q&A! Starts @ 6:30 p.m. EST.

In Cat Tale: The Wild, Weird Battle to Save the Florida Panther, Craig Pittman recounts the extraordinary story of the people who brought the Sunshine State’s panther back from the brink of extinction, the ones who nearly pushed the species over the edge, and the cats that were caught in the middle. And – this being Florida – there’s more than a little weirdness, too. He’s joined by Gilbert King, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Beneath a Ruthless Sun: A True Story of Violence, Race, and Justice Lost and Found.

Join Craig Pittman as he moderates a LIVE Q&A with Kent Russell, author of In the Land of Good Living: A Journey to the Heart of Florida, on Sunday, November 15, at 5:30 p.m.
