SUMMARY:Specters of the Past: Arizona’s Ghost Towns - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:The promise of unimagined riches is what brought many of the earliest colonizers to the Arizona Territory. Following the trail to the discovery of the mother lode\, they built\, then dismantled and finally abandoned communities when mines played out – leaving behind tantalizing clues of difficult hardships. Some towns survived like Bisbee\, Jerome\, Tombstone and Oatman. Most disappeared\, gradually becoming absorbed back into the desert from which they arose. This presentation explores more than a decade of historian Jay Mark’s journeys to these fascinating ghost places\, along with their stories – long-forgotten places like Charleston\, Contention City\, Mowry\, Fairbank\, Gleeson and Congress. \nHistorian Jay Mark’s career includes antiques and bookstore owner\, commercial photography\, professional theater\, radio and television. He brings a lifetime of knowledge and experience to his lively and engaging presentations. A regular contributor of history-related articles to the Antique Register\, Arizona Contractor and Community\, and The Arizona Republic\, Jay is also a published writer of seven antiques-related books. He is co-author of a history of the Buckhorn Baths in Mesa. A recipient of numerous awards honoring his service to the community\, Jay remains actively engaged in issues relating to historic preservation\, history museums\, public transportation\, urban planning and public policy.

SUMMARY:Toys and Games of the Colorado Plateau - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Toys and games are as old as civilization itself and reflect the need all people have for fun and recreation. Ancient Native Americans were no exception. This presentation engages the audience with hands-on exploration of modern and ancient toys. We explore the history of familiar toys and discover some ancient toys and games that give clues to old Arizona cultures. Participants can make their own split-twig figures like those found at the Grand Canyon. \nChris and Sandy have been speaking about the land and people of the Colorado Plateau since 2012\, after completing docent training at the Museum of Northern Arizona. In-depth research and related interviews have resulted in lectures to their fellow docents\, local social and educational groups\, and at public venues such as Riordan Mansion in Flagstaff.  Some topics are presented in costumes of the time period\, and in every case with a thorough exploration of the events and personalities of the time from multiple points of view.

SUMMARY:Arizona Goes to the Moon - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Arizona played a key role in preparing to send humans to the moon in the late 1960s/early 1970s. The Apollo astronauts themselves traveled to the Grand Canyon and volcanic fields around the state to learn geology and practice their lunar excursions. Meanwhile\, U.S. Geological Survey engineers worked with NASA staff members to develop and test instruments while artists joined forces with scientists to create detailed maps of the moon that were critical to navigating around lunar surface. \n \nKevin Schindler is an award-winning educator and writer who has worked for more than 20 years at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. He was sheriff of the Flagstaff Corral of Westerners for 14 years and a board member of the Flagstaff Festival of Science for 16 years. Combining a dual passion for history and science\, he has presented hundreds of educational programs\, authored four books\, written more than 400 magazine and newspaper articles\, and contributes a bi-weekly astronomy column for the Arizona Daily Sun.

SUMMARY:Honky Tonks\, Brothels and Mining Camps: Entertainment in Old Arizona - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:In pioneer Arizona\, among the best places to experience the performing arts were in the mining towns. Striking it rich meant having disposable income and miners\, like the well-heeled of the Gilded Age\, wanted to demonstrate their sophistication with culture. From the early popular music of ragtime and minstrelsy during the forming of these communities evolved orchestras\, opera and glee clubs—all in hamlets like Tombstone. Here\, a miner off shift at the Bird Cage could enjoy the proceedings while gambling at a table\, or listen behind drawn curtains with a companion of his choice. Perhaps the most popular form of musical entertainment was the concert band\, in shells and stages. \nJay Craváth\, Ph.D. is a composer\, writer\, and scholar in the field of music and Indigenous studies. Dr. Craváth crafts programs from these interests into interactive discussions that include stories\, musical performance\, and illustrations/photography. His most recent publication is: The Mohave Book for Little Ones. Dr. Craváth is the Cultural Director for the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe.

SUMMARY:Arizona’s Historic Trading Posts - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Early traders traveled through Arizona Territory\, selling goods from their wagons\, but they soon built stores that evolved into trading and social centers where wool\, sheep\, and Native Arts were exchanged for food and necessities. Navajo trading posts are best known\, but trading posts existed on every reservation in Arizona. Traders became the intermediaries between Native peoples and the outside world\, providing not only hard goods\, but other services including translating\, correspondence\, and transportation. Trading posts also became destinations for artists\, authors\, and tourists. Trading posts have mostly disappeared today\, but they remain a romantic and historic part of the Southwest. \nCarolyn O’Bagy Davis\, a fourth-generation descendant of Utah pioneers\, is the author of 14 books on archaeology\, quilting and the history of the Southwest. Her book Hopi Summer was selected as OneBookArizona for 2011 and Desert Trader was named one of the Best Books of the Southwest 2012. She was founding president of the Tucson Quilters Guild and Old Pueblo Archaeology Center and is an inducted member of the Society of Women Geographers and the Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame. Davis has appeared on HGTV\, PBS\, and Lifetime television programs and has curated many traveling museum exhibits.

SUMMARY:The Ballad of Arizona: Our Five Hundred Years - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Similar to NPR’s “A Prairie Home Companion” but with and Arizona twist\, this program uses music\, storytelling and live radio-style newscasts to present important but often neglected events in Arizona history. The “Hoosiers”-like story of a Miami\, AZ High School basketball team comprised of the sons of Mexican-American mine workers who won the state championship in 1951\, and Buffalo soldiers stationed near Nogales who engaged with Mexican regiments in a border clash\, are among the compelling stories told. \nJay Craváth\, Ph.D. is a composer\, writer\, and scholar in the field of music and Indigenous studies.

SUMMARY:Ghost Towns of the Second World War: Arizona’s Historic Military Sites - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:When America entered the Second World War\, Arizona’s sparse population and mild weather made it an ideal location for training facilities and prisoner of war camps. By war’s end\, Arizona had trained more pilots than any other state\, hosted the country’s largest POW camp\, and was part of the largest military training grounds in history. This presentation tells Arizona’s war-time role by focusing on the stories of those WW2 sites in Arizona that still have significant remaining features from the war period. Includes many photographs and first-hand accounts. \nRaised in Flagstaff\, Erik Berg is an award-winning historian and writer with a special interest in the early twentieth century southwest and the impact of science and technology. In addition to contributing to several books\, his work has appeared in the Journal of Arizona History\, Arizona Highways\, and Sedona Magazine. A past-president of the Grand Canyon Historical Society\, Berg currently lives in Phoenix.

SUMMARY:Instruments and Music of Arizona Pioneers - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:Instruments and Music of Arizona’s Pioneers\nThe story of our state is not complete without music. This program will focus on the various genres of music that reflected the milieu and personalities of our various immigrants.  Using musical instruments and stories\, audience members will be presented an artistic tableau of our past: heroes\, villains\, and the immigrants who passed through and settled in Arizona. For example\, Coronado’s priests unrolled musical missal leaves during Mass to facilitate finding the seven cities of gold. The Indigenous tribes he encountered also had rich sacred and secular musical traditions. It is possible to learn much about a people from what they sang and the instruments that accompanied. \nJay Craváth\, Ph.D. is a composer\, writer\, and scholar in the field of music and Indigenous studies. Dr. Craváth crafts programs from these interests into interactive discussions that include stories\, musical performance\, and illustrations/photography. His most recent publication is: The Mohave Book for Little Ones. Dr. Craváth is the Cultural Director for the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe.

SUMMARY:The Long Walk of the Navajo People   1864-1868 - Cottonwood
DESCRIPTION:The Long Walk of the Navajo People\, 1864-1868\nIn 1864\, Navajo people were forced to walk over 450 miles to Fort Sumner in eastern New Mexico.  Imprisoned on a 40-square mile reservation for four long years the people suffered from hunger\, loneliness\, illnesses\, and severe environmental conditions. On June 1\, 1868\, U. S. officials and Navajo leaders reached an agreement\, allowing the Navajos to return to a portion of their original lands located in northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. The Long Walk has been collected in historical literature by non-Navajo authors.  Absent from the literature is the Navajo perspective.  The audience will hear the Navajo elders’ version of the Long Walk in this presentation. \nDr. Evangeline Parsons Yazzie is a Professor Emerita at Northern Arizona University.  She obtained a Masters degree in Bilingual Multicultural Education and a Doctorate in Education.  Retiring after teaching 24 years\, Evangeline became a writer of novels and short stories. She wrote a novel based upon the Navajo Long Walk and is the first of four that tell the story of a Navajo family and their struggles.  She also wrote an award winning children’s book about the Navajo Long Walk titled\, Little Woman Warrior Who Came Home. Evangeline is a Navajo woman\, originally from Hardrock on the Navajo Reservation.

DESCRIPTION:Little Sur Shot – Annie Oakley and the Closing of the American West\nAnnie Oakley is perhaps the best recognized\, but little know personalities that came out of the American West.
