The railroads are opening the frontier and there are only eleven American States west of the Mississippi River. Colorado\, Dakota\, Idaho\, New Mexico\, Utah\, Washington and Wyoming are still mere territories. But the whole nation seems to be marching west. \nAnd now imagine that you are a French artist trying to make a name for yourself in New York. And out of the blue\, you get this assignment from the Harper brothers: an extensive sketching tour of the American frontier\, “commencing at New York and intended to include the most interesting and picturesque regions of the Western and Southwestern portions of this country.” You are asked to make long excursions on horseback into regions where railroads have not yet penetrated\, where even the hardy squatter\, the pioneer of civilization\, has not yet erected his rude log-cabin.” \nThe contract states that you will be paid handsomely for one hundred sketches of the frontier\, that you will work in tandem with another talented artist\, and that all your sketches will appear in the pages of Harper’s Weekly\, including several covers and several double pages. \nThat is the golden opportunity Paul Frenzeny and Jules Tavernier were given. And Claudine will tell you what choices they made\, places\, people\, events\, in order to accurately represent “the most astonishing migratory movement of any age or nation.” \nClaudine was offered Adventure when at age sixteen\, she became the first exchange student from her high-school in Cannes\, France\, to Palo-Alto. She never recovered from the joy of living in California. She completed graduate and post-graduate studies in France and settled in Mill Valley where she and her family lived for 30 years. She has since moved to the Gold Country where she continues to chronicle the lives of the numerous and colorful Frenchmen who flocked to California in search of gold\, success\, and freedom. Besides many books and articles\, Claudine appeared on a French television show\, Thalassa\, and a French Canadian production on French pioneers in Los Angeles. Two of her art books became exhibits at the Crocker Museum\, the Monterey Museum of Art\, and at the Grace Hudson Museum in Ukiah. She was knighted for her work by the French Ministry of Culture. She is presently at work on three books: Barbizon-by-the-Pacific\, the riotous beginnings of the Monterey Art Colony; a biography of Jean-Jacques Vioget\, founding father of San Francisco; and the history of San Francisco’s French Hospital\, California’s oldest private hospital\, which created the first HMO in the United States. \nImage Credit: Print by Tavernier and Frenzeny courtesy of Claudine Chalmers \nRegister for this lecture\n\n \n \n \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ \n \n\n  URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/a-great-frontier-odyssey-zoom-lecture-given-by-claudine-chalmers/ CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/6.4-Arkansas-Pilgrims-Hi-Res.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20210224T050000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20210224T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T115724 CREATED:20200904T185840Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200904T185840Z UID:10000320-1614142800-1614189600@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Letters from the Front: With the Ski Troops in Italy from January 1945 – July 1945 Zoom Lecture given by Sydney Williams DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum will host a Zoom Lecture called Letters from the Front: With the Ski Troops in Italy from January 1945 – July 1945 given by Sydney Williams on Wednesday\, February 24th from 5-6 p.m. (MT).  Please contact Diane Knispel to register for the lecture 435-574-9554 or email her at education@parkcityhistory.org. \nSydney Williams wrote a book called Dear Mary which was published by Bauhan Press in 2019 and is about letters his parents\, Sydney M. Williams\, Jr. and Mary Williams\, wrote to each other during World War II.  Sydney M. Williams\, Jr. joined the American Army in 1944 and served in the 10th Mountain Division in Italy until his release in 1945.  All during that time he wrote letters home to his beloved wife\, Mary. The letters are personal\, but important in a few ways. First\, his father’s letters are an eye-witness account of what was happening on the ground\, written by a 34-year-old\, Harvard graduate\, Army PFC and the father of four children. Second\, his mother’s letters provide a sense of what was happening on the home front\, interspersed with comments on the children and the animals (horses and goats) she had brought with her from their home in New Hampshire to her parents’ home in Connecticut. \nSydney Williams was born in January 1941 and remembers his father boarding the troop train in New Haven that would carry him to Texas where the 10th was then training.

To register for the lecture\, please contact Diane Knispel at  435-574-9554 or email  education@parkcityhistory.org. \n  \nThe popular images of coal mining are black faces\, explosions\, canaries\, and dirty air.  However\, the history of coal development in the West is much more complicated.  Coal was an essential commodity in the late nineteenth century and a major driving force in the industrial revolution\, as well as influencing how people lived.  It supplied energy for boilers which drove the pumps and winding engines in the western silver mines.  Coal was the prime source of home heating and a vital fuel in the development of the railways and the growing steel industry. \n  \nThe presentation will compare coal and silver mining including: immigrants who worked in the mines\, the dangers in both types of mining\, the economics of each commodity\, why so many coal mines exploded including the three tragic explosions at Almy in Wyoming\, why the railways were so influential in the development of the early local coal mines\, and Brigham Young’s involvement/influence in coal mine development in Summit County. \n  \nDonovan Symonds is a retired mining engineer who has worked in both coal and hard rock mining.  He is a museum docent and coordinator of the Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History lecture series.  He first moved to Park City in 1978. \nImage credit: Summit County Historical Museum URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/the-complex-role-of-coal-in-the-development-of-the-west-zoom-lecture-given-by-donovan-symonds/ CATEGORIES:Lectures,Mining ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Wasatch-Mine.gif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20210106T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20210106T180000 DTSTAMP:20260404T115724 CREATED:20200921T175049Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200921T175049Z UID:10000330-1609952400-1609956000@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Daly West Lecture given by Brian Buck DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum and the Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History will present a Zoom lecture called John J.

As it does so it considers two questions central to Riis and those that came after him: what is the purpose of documenting people’s lives and how does the answer to this question change documentary practice? \nMatt Basso is an Associate Professor of History and Gender Studies at the University of Utah.  His research interests include the theory and history of masculinity\, labor and working-class history\, the history of old age\, the history of race and ethnicity\, the relationship of the military to society\, U.S. Western history\, the history of Pacific settler societies\, and transnational history.  He offers courses that grapple with all of these subjects.  He is the author or editor of four books including Meet Joe Copper: Masculinity and Race on Montana’s World War II Home Front (University of Chicago Press\, May 2013)\, winner of the Philip Taft Labor History Book Award and the American Historical Association’s Pacific Coast Branch Book Award\, and Men at Work: Rediscovering Depression-Era Stories from the Federal Writers’ Project (University of Utah Press\, 2012). Basso is a Distinguished Lecturer for the Organization of American Historians and the recipient of the University of Utah Distinguished Teaching Award\, Graduate and Postdoctoral Mentor Award\, Public Service Professorship\, and Honors-Humanities Professorship. He is working on a new history of the World War II home front for the National Park Service and finishing a book on New Zealand history between 1890 and 1940. \nJacob Riis (1849–1914) was a pioneering newspaper reporter and social reformer in New York at the turn of the twentieth century. His then-novel idea of using photographs of the city’s slums to illustrate the plight of impoverished residents established Riis as forerunner of modern photojournalism. Jacob A. Riis: How the Other Half Lives exhibition features photographs by Riis and his contemporaries\, as well as his handwritten journals and personal correspondence. Jacob A. Riis: How the Other Half Lives opens November 10\, 2020 at The Park City Museum. \nThe exhibition is made possible by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Jacob A. Riis: How the Other Half Lives is adapted from the exhibition Jacob A. Riis: Revealing New York’s Other Half\, organized by the Museum of the City of New York. The exhibition was curated by Bonnie Yochelson and co-presented by the Library of Congress. It was made possible with major grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Terra Foundation for American Arts\, as well as support from D. Euan and Merete Baird\, The Malkin Fund\, Ronay and Richard L. Menschel\, Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrick’s Foundation\, C. Flemming and Judy Heilmann\, Kan and Lotte Leschly\, The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation\, and the John L. Loeb Jr. Foundation. It was adapted and toured for NEH on the Road by Mid-America Arts Alliance. \n  \n\n\n1-I-Scrubs-Little-Katie-from-the-West-52nd-Street-Industrial-School-1891-1892-Collection-MCNY-scaled.jpg\n\n\n\nRegister for this lecture\n\n \n \n \n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/jacob-riis-zoom-lecture-given-by-matthew-basso/ CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/1-I-Scrubs-Little-Katie-from-the-West-52nd-Street-Industrial-School-1891-1892-Collection-MCNY-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20201206T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20201206T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T115724 CREATED:20201116T225335Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201116T225335Z UID:10000406-1607252400-1607274000@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Museum Free Day!

He inspects the structures\, measures them and draws plans for effective construction projects to ensure their long term stability. He is joined by Clark Martinez\, 4th generation Park City Miner who owns Xcavation Company\, widely known for their expertise in closing\, stabilizing and reclaiming mine sites in Utah and throughout the West. Since most of Clark’s reclamation work is done in the fall\, winter and spring\, he is available to help us here in Park City in the short snow-free months of the summer. Clark and JR work hand-in-glove to share their expertise and they collaborate closely to produce miracles of restoration and stabilization of our old mining era structures. Our stabilization successes to date have been the King Con Counterweight\, Jupiter Ore Bin\, Little Bell Ore Bin\, California Comstock Mill and Thaynes Conveyor. Next summer they will be working on the King Con Ore Bin. JR and Clark will discuss their methods and challenges they faced in saving these mining structures. \n  \nIf you have any questions\, please contact the Park City Museum at 435-649-7457.    \n  \nRegister for this lecture\n\n \n Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email*\n \n Phone\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ \n \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://parkcityhistory.org/event/saving-the-mining-structures-lecture-given-by-friends-of-ski-mountain-mining-history/ CATEGORIES:Lectures,Mining ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Page-5B-California-Comstock-as-of-Oct-17-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20201204T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20201204T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T115724 CREATED:20201116T224319Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201116T224319Z UID:10000432-1607079600-1607101200@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Museum Free Day!

We will explore the numerous ways women insured the success of trappers and traders\, helping to open the continent for European settlement. \nKnown as The Sharp Knife Woman\, Kris Swanson is a Living Historian who spends her days interacting with the public at museums\, historic sites and cultural events\, teaching them about Plains Indian history and lifestyle.  She does public presentations and displays\, sets and costumes for films\, and works with Western artists.  Her reputation as an artist has been earned over many years making and using authentic and fully functional objects.  She has spent 24 years living in her tipi in the mountains\, attended hundreds of private and public living history events\, and has developed a wide following. \nAs one of the only women living historians\, her interpretation from a woman’s perspective is insightful and balanced.  Kris holds BAs in History and Communication and an MA in Communication.  She has dedicated her life to learning about Plains Indians during the 19th century.  Kris’ goal is to represent accurately the lifestyle Plains Indians lived during the 1800s through displays\, presentations\, and hands on learning.  Kris has written a book called Portraits of Women in the American Fur Trade and it is the first book to focus on the significant impact Indian women played in the success of trading forts and activities in the Western US well into the 1870s. The book gives readers a clear overview of the role of Indian women in the fur trade\, beginning with the formation of Hudson Bay Company in 1670\, until the decline of the buffalo robe trade on the Plains. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Diane at education@parkcityhistory.org.
