SUMMARY:The History and Mystery of the Gila River with Christine Reid
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nMany people know about Arizona’s most famous river\, the Colorado\, but the often-forgotten Gila River has a rich and interesting history too. Reid will take the audience on a journey which begins in central New Mexico and joins the Gila River as it makes an historical journey through eastern and most of southern Arizona before joining the Colorado River. This program explores the geology that formed the Gila and the dinosaurs that splashed in it. You’ll learn about the history of prehistoric people who mastered and relied on the river. The human side of the Gila is brought to life through personal memoirs\, field journals and anecdotes of the missionaries\, explorers\, and adventurers who followed it\, to the pioneers who settled alongside it. The Gila River provided life giving water for agriculture\, transportation\, recreation\, and inspiration for generations of people. \nThis program is cohosted by the Arizona Archaeological Society – Desert Foothills Chapter. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nChristine Reid’s interest in Arizona’s diverse and rich western heritage developed and grew as a writer and researcher with the Pinal County Historical Museum and later as Community Scholar for the Anthem at Merrill Ranch continuing education program. Reid is committed to sharing the sometimes hidden or forgotten aspects of Arizona’s characters and history. Reid shares Arizona’s history in a relatable and engaging manner.

SUMMARY:Smitten By Stone: How We Came to Love the Grand Canyon - Cave Creek
DESCRIPTION:In spite of being one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World\,” humans have not always seen the Grand Canyon in a positive light. First seen by Europeans in the year 1540\, the canyon was not comprehended easily. Throughout the entire exploratory era\, lasting nearly 320 years\, conquistadores\, explorers\, trappers and miners viewed the canyon as an obstacle to travel or even useless. None of these early visitors ever returned a second time. However\, when the first geologist laid eyes on it in 1857\, he issued a siren call to humanity that it was something quite special on our planet. Every geologist who followed returned again\, announcing to the world that the Grand Canyon was to be revered. \nWayne Ranney is a dynamic speaker who engages audiences by including the humanities in the topics of landscape development and Arizona history. A resident of Arizona since 1975\, Wayne lived at the bottom of the Grand Canyon for three years before attaining degrees in geology from Northern Arizona University. He has traveled to nearly 90 countries worldwide and has lectured on all seven continents. His programs are insightful\, participatory\, and thought provoking. He has extensive experience in the geological sciences but brings the human element into his topics\, showing how new ideas are conceived\, developed\, challenged or accepted. He is also an award-winning author of numerous books.

SUMMARY:The Explorations and Discoveries of George Bird Grinnell\, The Father of Glacier National Park
DESCRIPTION:The great West that George Bird Grinnell first encountered in 1870 as a 21-year old man was shortly to disappear before his eyes. Nobody was quicker to sense the desecration or was more eloquent in crusading against the poachers\, the hidehunters\, and the disengaged U.S. Congress than George Bird Grinnell\, the “Father of American Conservation.” Grinnell founded the first Audubon Society\, cofounded the Boone and Crockett Club with Teddy Roosevelt\, and led the effort to establish Glacier National Park. Audiences will travel back in time to the 19th century\, listening to Grinnell’s own words as taken from his field journals\, memoirs\, personal correspondence\, and newspaper editorials. \nHugh Grinnell received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The University of Arizona.  Since his retirement in 2004\, Grinnell has studied the history of the great American West.   After discovering an old Great Northern Railway (GNR) passenger car named “Grinnell Glacier\,” he researched the car’s name\, only to learn that the glacier was named in honor of the efforts of George Bird Grinnell\, a distant cousin of Grinnell’s who was a naturalist and explorer.  Grinnell continues to carry on his research of George Bird Grinnell and the Grinnell family\, writing articles and producing DVDs.  In 2010\, he presented “Saving the Great American West” at the annual convention of the GNR Historical Society and 100th anniversary of the establishment of Glacier National Park\, held in Glacier National Park.
