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?

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.
