SUMMARY:"Brighty of the Grand Canyon: Wild Donkeys of the West" with Kevin Schindler
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nMillions of people visit the Grand Canyon every year. Some people may be familiar with the burros that inhabit the land. But have you heard of the burro\, Brighty? Marguerite Henry’s 1953 book\, Brighty of the Grand Canyon\, as well as the 1966 movie that it inspired\, are fictionalized accounts of a real-life\, free-spirited burro that roamed Grand Canyon from the 1890s – 1920s. This program will look at the story of Brighty\, connecting real vs fictional Arizona heritage\, and how his story helped lead to a change in the National Park Service’s policy of removing feral burros from Grand Canyon National Park. \nThis program is cohosted by the Avondale Public Library – Sam Garcia Library Branch. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nKevin Schindler is the historian at Lowell Observatory\, where he has worked for 28 years as an active member of the Flagstaff history and science communities. Schindler has given more than 1\,000 presentations and written more than 600 magazine and newspaper articles on subjects ranging from local history and astronomy to baseball and the Lincoln Memorial\, and contributes a bi-weekly astronomy column\, “View from Mars Hill”\, for the Arizona Daily Sun newspaper. Schindler has written nine books\, including Historic Tales of Flagstaff (written with Mike Kitt). Fun fact: Kevin has both a fossil crab and asteroid named after him.
