I'll be one of three featured storytellers at the St. Peter Arts Center. I've never done anything like this before, so I hope that my 5-minute limit goes well!
Join me at venues across Elysian for Small Business Saturday! More details as available. Hours are 9am to 1pm. I will be located at: Main Street Venue (that is the building's name) 117 E Main St, Elysian That is on the east end of Main Street, across from the Post Office.
Using photography, historic documents, and maybe a drone video, this 40-45 minute talk covers why I undertook this work, provides background on Irish and his family, then shares a few vignettes from the book that took place in and near Murray County. It ends with a particular research odyssey. The talk will be held in-person...
I'll be giving the "Highlights of Irish’s Story and Research Adventures" from We Suffered Much via Zoom, at 7pm Eastern/6pm Central. Will provide a registration link when available.
This talk will feature vignettes from Irish's survey experiences mostly east of the Missouri River in Dakota Territory.
