SUMMARY:History on the Lawn
DESCRIPTION:History on the Lawn at the Historic Adams House\n\nWhy are we so fascinated with the Wild West?  Does the reality live up to the tall tales?\n\n\nDeadwood History\, Inc. and the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission will host a presentation by South Dakota writer Tom Griffith at 12:00 p.m. on Friday\, July 20\, 2018\, at the Historic Adams House.  The event is wheelchair accessible.  Please feel free to bring your lunch.\n\n \n\nWhy are we so fascinated with the Wild West? From captivating stories of gold rush success and failure\, to gunslingers and untimely death\, the legends and lore of the Western frontier present an endless stream of struggles against unforgiving natural surroundings and those willing to risk life and limb in their pursuit of a personal Eldorado. Those accounts\, some real and many embellished\, parallel modern-day efforts of entrepreneurs and contemporary bandits who seek fame and fortune through legal and illicit means\, ensuring that our hunger for larger-than-life figures   heroes\, heroines\, and villains   will be satiated right up to the time we take that long\, dirt nap.\n\n \n\nGriffith's travel writing and photography have appeared in more than 250 newspapers and magazines from New York to New Zealand\, including Rolling Stone India\, True West\, Hadassah\, Historic Traveler\, Where to Retire\, Volaris\, Chicago Tribune\, Houston Chronicle\, Denver Post\, The Times of India\, and the New Zealand Herald.\n\n \n\nGriffith is currently working on three new books: a biography on Rapid Citian Dave Ploof\, the winningest coach in the history of American Legion baseball\; National Parks of the West for Random House\; and Black Hills Myths and Legends for The Globe Pequot Press.\n\n \n\nThe lecture is co-sponsored by the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission\, Deadwood History\, Adams-Mastrovich Family Foundation\, Deadwood Chamber & Visitors Bureau\, Jerry Greer's Engineering\, and Celebrity Hotel & Casino.
