Shortfall: Family Secrets, Financial Collapse, and a Hidden History of American Banking by Alice Echols

10/2/2017

 
Join Pikes Peak Library District's Special Collections and award winning author and historian Alice Echols at an event celebrating her new nonfiction book, Shortfall: Family Secrets, Financial Collapse, and a Hidden History of American Banking—the true story of how her grandfather made off with more than $20 million (in today's dollars) of Colorado Springs depositors' money during the 1930s. Echols will describe the local scandal and the secret family history she uncovered after more than a decade of research.
Penrose Library
20 N. Cascade Ave.
Colorado Springs, CO 80903
Thu., Oct. 19, 2017, 3 p.m.

"Echols’s absorbing portrait makes Main Street the rival of Wall Street for callous corruption." Publishers Weekly

"
A lively and informative treatment in which one man’s rise and fall opens a window onto a long-overlooked historical landscape in all its finely drawn detail." Kirkus Review

Books will be available for purchase and signing after the presentation.
