Dr. Elliott West, will explore the ways the expansion of the 1840s created a nation we would know in the 20th and 21st Centuries.
About this Event

The American West and Modern America are historical twins, and like many twins, neither can be understood without the other. Dr. West’s talk will explore the ways the expansion of the 1840s and the tumultuous changes that followed it, as much as the other great event of those years, the Civil War, created a nation we would know in the 20th and 21st Centuries.

Dinner Lecture Menu - Jack Daniels Buffalo BB ribs dinner served with buttery mashed potatoes, and gravy, chef's seasonal vegetables and "Spotted Dog" bread pudding with caramel sauce for dessert.
