To register for the in-person lecture please go to https://parkcityhistory.org/event/major-john-wesley-powell-lecture-given-by-dorian-demaio/. \nIn 1869 a company of explorers set off to survey the last uncharted territory in the American West by traveling down the Green and Colorado Rivers and becoming the first white men to brave the entirety of the Grand Canyon. Intended as an expedition of scientific survey and discovery\, the journey became a fight for survival against unpredictable rapids and near starvation. They were led by a 35 year old naturalist/scientist\, Major John Wesley Powell who had lost an arm in the Civil War. Of the ten men who challenged the river\, six completed the 1000 mile trek\, but incredibly none were taken by the rapids. None of the men had white water running experience or knowledge of the many hazards that lay ahead as they proceeded into the “Great Unknown”. Join Park City resident and pilot Dorian De Maio as he over-flies the expedition route describing the adventures and great hardships of the expedition team. \nRegister for this lecture\n\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/major-john-wesley-powell-lecture-given-by-dorian-demaio/ CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Dorian-Picture.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20210901T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20210901T123000 DTSTAMP:20260403T141042 CREATED:20210817T175934Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210817T175934Z UID:10000345-1630486800-1630499400@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:Rescheduled!

La exposición detallará la vida de Huerta a partir de sus influencias tempranas —desde su madre\, Alicia\, hasta su mentor\, Fred Ross\, quien la llevó a transformarse en defensora pionera y voz femenina del movimiento de trabajadores agrícolas\, uno tradicionalmente dominado por hombres— hasta el boicot de la uva de la Unión de Trabajadores Campesinos\, y los acuerdos históricos con los conglomerados productores de uvas. La exposición también presentará a muchas de las personas que trabajaron con Huerta en el movimiento de trabajadores agrícolas\, incluidos los organizadores Larry Itliong y César Chávez y colaboradores artísticos como Xavier Miramontes y El Teatro Campesino. \nDolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields / Revolución en los Campos está organizada por el Servicio de Exposiciones Itinerantes del Smithsonian en colaboración con la Galería Nacional de Retratos del Smithsonian.

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:20260403T141042 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. Sydney grew up in New Hampshire and graduated from the University of New Hampshire. He served in the U.S. Army Reserves and worked on Wall Street for forty-eight years\, retiring in 2015. Sydney also has published two other books of essays\, “One Man’s Family” and “Notes from Old Lyme.” Another book of essays\, “Essays from Essex” is supposed to be published by Bauhan this fall.  He has been married to his wife for fifty-six years and has three children and ten grandchildren. \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/lecture-given-by-sydney-williams/ CATEGORIES:Lectures ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://parkcityhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Wedding-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20210210T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20210210T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T141042 CREATED:20210106T211602Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210106T211602Z UID:10000391-1612976400-1612980000@parkcityhistory.org SUMMARY:The Complex Role of Coal in the Development of the West Zoom lecture given by Donovan Symonds DESCRIPTION:Park City Museum and Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History will host a Zoom lecture called The Complex Role of Coal in the Development of the West which will be presented by Donovan Symonds on Wednesday\, February 10 from 5 to 6 p.m.  The lecture will have a particular emphasis on Coalville and the surrounding areas. 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:20260403T141042 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.
