JACK LASSETER The Archeology of Arizona Tuesday, May 7th 7:00 PM Have you ever wondered why there seems to be so many more archeological sites here in the Southwest than in other parts of the country? It s the dry climate. Wherever you travel in Arizona you see archeological sites. This talk tells us about the early Paleo-Indians as well as the later six major pre-historic peoples who lived in Arizona, where and how they lived, and modern day sites to visit. It is a great addition to our Arizona knowledge, and makes us well aware that we are not the only people to have lived here.

JACK LASSETER The Oregon Trail Tuesday, June 4th 7:00 PM From Missouri to Oregon, by wagon and on foot some 2000 miles they went. Out across the Great American Prairie that stretched endlessly to the horizon; over, around and through the Rocky Mountains; and then the treacherous Columbia River Gorge lying there in wait for them. Away from family and friends, away from doctors and civilization. Why did they go? Why then? What was it like on the Trail? And who went? Would you have gone? You decide, for this is the story, not the myth, but the true story of the Oregon Trail.

JACK LASSETER The Chiricahua Apaches, Warrior People of the Southwest Tuesday, August 20th 7:00 PM All that most of us know about the Apaches comes from the western movies, and our knowledge of them seems to end there, with the movies, so for us they remain mysterious, an enigma. Here is their real story, not the movie version. In this new talk on the Apaches, Jack assumes the audience has already heard the basic facts about them from his prior talks. This is the next level, where he brings the Apaches alive and makes them seem real, telling about them as a people, and sharing fascinating stories of their leaders, that makes him feel their presence whenever he walks in their land. You also will feel their presence! It is quintessential Jack, and will make you want to go to the Chiricahuas where Cochise was born, to Apache Pass where he fought, and to his Stronghold in the Dragoons where he died.
