Lecture Series: A Visit with an 1879 American Fur Co. Trader

  • Red Lodge Carnegie Library 3 8th Street Red Lodge, MT, 59068 United States (map)

With Greg Smith

Smith brings to life the adventures and stories of James W. Schultz through the fictitious character of Jim Deakins. The year is 1879 and through Jim Deakins audiences take part in the hunting of the last of the great bison herds, share in the adventures of the Blackfeet and their enemy the Crow, and hear stories of that “foolishness” called Yellowstone National Park. Finally, Jim Deakins shares a powerful gift given by the Blackfoot medicine warrior Red Eagle. So come on along and join Jim Deakins in the year 1879!

Red Lodge Carnegie Library is hosting us for this lecture event. Museum will still be open for Mix & Mingle at 6pm so come check out the Bison Exhibit before you settle in for this living history conversation.
