  • Walt Disney's Pilgrimage Will Fascinate Readers!
    NEWS RELEASE September 26, 2017 WALT DISNEY’S PILGRIMAGE WILL FASCINATE READERS! DETROIT AREA, MICHIGAN—A unique book that geographically chronicles the life of Walt Disney has just been published. Entitled Walt’s Pilgrimage, the nearly 400‐page book was written by Disney researcher and metro Detroiter, Christopher W. Tremblay, Ed.D. The book was inspired from the college course that Tremblay developed and teaches for Western Michigan University’s (WMU) Lee Honors College. In addition, eight WMU students and the WMU Director of Archives contributed to the content. About the Book The book is a combination travel guide, biography, and history book. While there are more than 50 biographies written about Walt Disney, this book takes a unique approach. It enables Disney fans to travel in Walt’s shoes from his birthplace to his gravesite, and everywhere in between throughout North America. It features more than 70 chapters and highlights more than 275 sites connected to Walt Disney throughout the United States (from Alaska to Hawaii), Canada, and Mexico. It offers insights about significant places like Disneyland, various Walt Disney museums – as well as places that never came to fruition – like Mineral King and St. Louis’ proposed Riverfront Square. Foreword Written by a Disney Family Member The Foreword was written by Walt Disney’s son‐in‐law, Ron Miller, who also serves as President of the Board of the Walt Disney Family Museum, which was started by Walt’s daughter, Diane Disney Miller. “I am grateful to Christopher for helping impart the true story of Walt Disney …. I hope that you are inspired by Christopher’s book and by Walt’s story,” stated Ron Miller, who Tremblay first met in 2015.
