THE DAKOTA SIOUX WAR OF 1862
Tuesday, Jan. 21, 1–3 p.m.
Historian Van Young shares a presentation on The Dakota War of 1862, an armed conflict between the United States and several bands of Dakota/Sioux Native Americans. It began what would eventually become a 30-year war between the United States and plains natives, eventually leading up to the Battle of Wounded Knee and the end of their way of life. The talk will tell the story of how this war started, as well as the conditions and events leading up to it and the results of three decades of western warfare. A sad, but true story of an American war.
TRAVEL HISTORY: THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY CONTINUED 1920–1928 NEW
Thursday, Jan. 23, 1–2 p.m.
Member John Jackson continues the story that he introduced last fall. In Part 2, he deals with the period 1920 to 1928, where the Lincoln Highway was up and running as a coast-to-coast highway route while the Federal government was lagging behind in route identification, motoring safeguards, construction design and other essentials. He will briefly go back over the conditions that existed prior to 1920 for the benefit of new attendees and those who could use some reminders of what transpired during that period. But the bulk of his presentation will cover the steady progress the country made towards a connected interstate highway system that became the precursor of the roads that we enjoy today. John Jackson is an author, transportation consultant, and held senior positions in logistics management for private enterprises. He joined the Lincoln Highway Association in 2009 and has led efforts to better publicize the story of this crucial but little-known part of our national transportation picture.
