SUMMARY:"Cochise\, Geronimo\, and the Apache Wars" with Gregory McNamee
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nTheir names resound in Arizona history and pepper the of the state map\, but few people know well the tangled history that surrounds the so-called “Apache Wars”\, when fully half of the active U.S. Army descended on the territory to combat a relative handful of Indigenous warriors. Ironically\, the Apache peoples of the Southwest had once welcomed the arrival of the Americans as a buffer against Mexico\, which regularly attached Apache settlements—but then American miners and loggers began to encroach\, and a defensive war turned into a terrible guerrilla campaign that lasted a quarter-century. In this talk\, Gregory McNamee\, who has written about the Apache Wars for Encyclopaedia Britannica and other publications\, unravels the complex story of the conflict and the decades of uneasy peace that followed. \nThis program is cohosted by the Superstition Mountain Historical Society. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nGregory McNamee is a prolific writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of forty-five books and numerous articles and other publications. McNamee is a contributing editor to the Encyclopædia Britannica and a research fellow at the Southwest Center of the University of Arizona.

SUMMARY:Arizona’s Great Escape
DESCRIPTION:During the night of Christmas Eve in 1944\, twenty-five Nazi German prisoners of war escaped from Papago Park POW camp on the outskirts of Phoenix and headed towards Mexico. These men were hardcore Nazis\, ex U-boat commanders\, and submariners\, who had successfully dug a nearly 200-foot underground tunnel that took four months to complete. Many people may have heard of this event\, but few know the details. This presentation tells the story of what happened to these German POWs and the Arizona residents who encountered them. \nSteve Renzi\, a University of Arizona graduate with a degree in history\, believes that every generation must learn about who and what came before them or else the lessons learned are lost. As a writer and photographer with a teacher’s certificate in secondary education\, Renzi is always searching for new ways of exploring our history. He has been published in over 200 magazine and newspaper articles and is currently a writing and photography teacher\, as well as a basketball coach.

SUMMARY:Arizona for Newcomers
DESCRIPTION:What is it that makes Arizona unique\, that gives it a different flavor from neighboring New Mexico\, California\, Utah\, Colorado\, Sonora\, and Chihuahua? In part the answer lies in Arizona’s longstanding habit of absorbing influences from its neighbors in matters such as architecture\, music\, and cuisine\, incorporating them into an already vibrant tradition made up of influences taken from around the globe\, and serving up a blend of visual arts\, literature\, and folk life that is unlike any other. In part it’s because Arizonans\, throughout history\, have insisted on being different—and in surprising and delightful ways. Tailored to newcomers to Arizona\, this humor-laden talk is an introduction to those various traditions and to sources for the further exploration of Arizona’s culture and all the things that make it unlike any other. \nGregory McNamee is a writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of 40 books and more than 6\,000 articles and other publications. He is a contributing editor to the Encyclopædia Britannica\, a research fellow at the Southwest Center of the University of Arizona\, and a lecturer in the Eller School of Management\, at the University of Arizona.
