The Osborn WellSpring Series Presents David Grann, Author of The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder

Launching the spring season of its WellSpring Series, The Osborn will present David Grann, author of The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder, on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Free and open to the public, the talk will be held in The Osborn’s Auditorium at 101 Theall Road, Rye, NY.

David Grann’s latest book is a page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. With the twists and turns of a thriller, Grann unearths the deeper meaning of the events on the HMS Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire. The Wager debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and has remained on the list nearly ever since, often in the top spot.
