It is the early nineteenth century, and the land recently purchased by President Thomas Jefferson stretches west for thousands of miles. Soon white settlers arrive, leading to violent confrontations with Native Americans. Add in grizzled mountain men, seeking profit from the booming beaver trade, and it’s a volatile mix. This is the setting of Throne of Grace, and the guide is arguably America’s greatest unsung pathfinder, Jedediah Smith. His explorations into the forested frontiers and the West Coast are the stuff of legend. Explore this time period with author Tom Clavin. Books will be available for inscription and purchase.
This event will take place in the lower level program room.
