3 STEP BACK IN TIME: Learn about the historic town of St. Thomas, which was evacuated and eventually covered by the waters of Lake Mead, when author Jackson Ellis reads from his book “Lords of St. Thomas” at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Alan Bible Visitor Center, 10 Lakeshore Road, at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The novel is based on the 1938 flooding of the town and tells the story of a family who refused to evacuate. He also will provide a brief overview of the town’s history and current status.
