SUMMARY:Second Sunday: Omaha/Council Bluffs - The Steel Ties that Bind
DESCRIPTION:Note: The October presentation will be presented on the FIRST Sunday of the month.  \nOne single incident can change everything. 160 years ago the most significant thing to ever impact Omaha occurred: Abraham Lincoln issued an executive order designating Council Bluffs as eastern terminus of the transcontinental railroad. Council Bluffs? But why then were the first tracks\, headquarters\, and shops in Omaha? It’s a great story with sufficient skullduggery to make the activities of Bernie Madoff and Enron look pious by comparison\, and the two cities have been bound together by steel rails ever since. This program explains how the East ended… and where the West didn’t began. \nRICHARD WARNER serves as president of Preserve Council Bluffs\, an officer of the Historical Society of Pottawattamie County and vice-president of the Pottawattamie County Genealogical Society.  He has edited the Historical Society’s member publication for over thirty-five years\, co-authored four books about local history\, and written over a hundred articles on the subject.  Dr. Warner hosts the podcast “Accidentally Historic\,” produces the local history YouTube channel “Council Bluffs Revealed\,” and is an Iowa Governor’s Volunteer award recipient.  He is a graduate of Abraham Lincoln High School in Council Bluffs\, Creighton University (BS\, DDS) and UNO (MA). \nOctober 2 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nFree to DCHS members; $5 for non-members \nCall 402-455-9990 x102 for reservations or email admin@douglascohistory.org

SUMMARY:Second Sunday: How to Study and Learn about the Battle of the Little Big Horn
DESCRIPTION:Turn out to learn about the Battle of the Little Big Horn from 7th Cavalry and Sioux\, Cheyenne\, and Arapahoe perspectives\, but more importantly how to study and learn about the Battle while also learning how to avoid falling into the traps of Battle myths. During Terry’s talk\, you’ll also gain an appreciation of many different perspectives of the times and theatre by learning about the tribes and people\, business and government interests\, and the sweeping\, rapid changes that took place while also learning about tactics\, conditions\, and harsh realities of those times and events that happened along the way to the road to the Battle of the Little Big Horn. \nOur presenter for today’s talk is Terry Oswald\, Omaha Westerner’s Corral and Little Big Horn Associates Member. Terry has been a student of the Battle of the Little Big Horn since happening upon the Battlefield by chance in 1991. Terry’s studies include visits to nearly every Battlefield and historic fort and site in the north central plains region\, study completed through the reading of more than 100 texts on the Battle and publication of nearly 75 summaries and views on the most respected and famous Battle texts. \nIn addition to being a decidedly hooked\, if not obsessed\, student of the Battle\, Terry also distinguished himself by being the organizer of the historic archive of the construction of the Nebraska State Capitol Building by creating the first plan and systems to organize that collection consisting of fabulous architectural models\, renderings\, and correspondence generated through the efforts of Architect Bertram Goodhue and many others.   Terry also boasts of having toured the famous Jules Sandoz Ranch with none other than Old Jules’ then 80-plus year-old daughter in 1995 named Flora who drove Terry across the ranch in her old pickup truck\, rifle bouncing on the floorboard\, sharing family stories and more as they crossed the rolling hills and sandhills prairie…as he visited Mari’s grave after traveling there on one of his iron ponies – a motorcycle which Terry uses oftentimes to visit sites as diverse as the grave of Chief Red Cloud to Devil’s Tower all while imagining what it must have been like to be in the unsettled west alone on a horse. \nJuly 10 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nFree to DCHS members; $5 for non-members \nCall 402-455-9990 for reservations or email members@douglascohistory.org

SUMMARY:Second Sunday: "I AM A MAN" Ponca Tribe of Nebraska
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca White Sullivan\, Vice Chairwoman for the Ponca Tribe\, will give a presentation on Chief Standing Bear the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska. No man should be forced to leave his home\, forced on foot to walk hundreds of miles to the unknown\, watch disease and famine take the lives of hundreds\, and left with nothing but broken promises. Chief Standing Bear had endured enough when his son’s dying wish was to be buried back home; and the great Chief knew what had to be done. As a result of being arrested\, Chief Standing Bear proved through law that Native Americans were men with his famous statement in court\, “I AM A MAN.” But\, what became of Chief Standing Bear’s own Tribe after the trial and would he be Proud of his Ponca People today? \nMay 15 at 2:00 p.m. \nGross Auditorium at College of Saint Mary \nFree to DCHS members; $5 for non-members \nCall 402-455-9990 ext. 102 for reservations or email members@douglascohistory.org
