The History of Hi Jolly and the Great Camel Experiment in the Southwest

CE-HiJolly-FA23 Friday October 6, 2023 6;00 p.m.- 7:30 p.m. $5 RM. 101 Spend an evening on a fast-paced romp through 19th century American history, the Ottoman Empire, Crimean War, Critical Race Theory, Manifest Destiny, slavery, the Civil War, and, of course, camels, and their legendary camel driver, Hi Jolly. Journalist/historian Steve Brown takes us back to the 1850s and spins the true story of legendary camel driver Hi Jolly and the “camel corps” of the U.S. Army during the years leading up to the Civil War and beyond, in a fast-paced tale of the Middle East and the American West.

A Night on the Old Spanish Trail

CE-OSTrail-FA23 6:00 p.m.- 7:30 p.m. Friday November 3, 2023 $5 RM. 101 Join journalist/historian Steve Brown for a journey down the Old Spanish Trail, from Santa Fe to Los Angeles, where we’ll learn about the Mexican city of LA in the early and mid-1800s, the trade on the trail (including the slave trade), and the historical American figures who played a part in its use – and abuse. We’ll meet up with the Native chief and legendary horse thief, Walkara, John Fremont, Kit Carson, and others, with a special focus on the Old Spanish Trail from Mountain Springs, Nevada, through the Mojave Desert. The documentary that Brown has written and produced for public broadcasting and the FNX (First Nations Experience) network, History and Change on the Old Spanish Trail: Mountain Springs to Salt Creek, will be screened as part of the presentation.

SOUTHWEST STORIES, SEASON 3

The Southwest is one of the most dramatically beautiful and culturally diverse regions on our planet.  Southwest Stories takes our audience deeper into the rich layers of history, culture, experiences, and nature, to forge strong connections with the land, natural world, and people of the region, while supporting a more mindful and responsible culture for travelers who set off to experience the Southwest for themselves.
