Highlighted Speakers include: Dr. Greg Jackson from Utah Valley University and host of the highly regarded podcast "History That Doesn't Suck," will kick off the symposium on Wednesday morning with his talk on "Western Expansion and History."
Dr. Jay Buckley from Brigham Young University will kick off the Friday session with his talk, "Jim Bridger, Brigham Young, and Washakie: Contestation Over the Upper Green River Country during the 1840s and 1850s."
The symposium speaker topics range from: women on the trail, medicine on the trail, the trail through the Wasatch, Shoshone history and culture, the Salt Flats, Chinese railroad workers, and Mormon "out and back" companies.

Guided bus and walking tour trips along the Hastings to the east, the Hastings to the west, and the trail around the Great Salt Lake (which will also include a stop at an incredible wagon museum).

We look forward to seeing you in Salt Lake City!
