Humanities Montana co-sponsors with Sunburst Michael Delaney as Mark Twain. In the early 1860s, en route from Missouri to Nevada, Mark Twain met and had breakfast with the notorious Virginia City desperado Bad Jack Slade. Fortunately, Slade was sober at the time, and Twain survived the interview. Some three decades later on the third leg of his worldwide lecture tour, Twain stopped and lectured in five Montana cities. Delaney presents a most amusing view of these historical events from Mark Twain's unique perspective. The one-man show will be at the LCHS Auditorium beginning at 7:00pm. FREE TO THE PUBLIC. Wednesday, April 25: MARK MILLER, independent scholar, will give a presetation entitled, "Sidesaddles and Geysers: Women's Adventures in Early Yellowstone" at 7pm in the LCHS Auditorium. In the nineteenth century, hundreds of women risked being mauled by a bear, scalded in a geyser, or captured by an Indian to see the wonders of Yellowstone Park—and lived to tell their stories. Miller presents the very best of these travelers' tales selected from his collection of more than 200 first-person accounts of Yellowstone travel. He covers the period between 1872 when the park was established through the Model T era in the 1920s. Yellowstone Park changed dramatically in this period. The presentation describes how developments such as roads, railroads, and hotels altered "the Yellowstone experience." Miller places travelers' experiences in context with biographical information, bringing the women's stories to life in their own words and illustrating them with historic photos.
