THURSDAY June 22nd at 7pm: THE SOUTHERN THING

"a rugged, brutal landscape of exquisite beauty"
THE SOUTHERN THING

Stories that demonstrate the tensions between the traditional and the modern, the old and new south, tenderness and violence, man and nature; evoking the heart and soul of this land and its people — men and women inexorably tethered to the geography that defines and shapes them. The focus is regional, but the themes are universal, striking an emotional chord that resonates deep within each of our lives - suspense and myth, hope and heartbreak.

Book: Something Rich and Strange
Author: Ron Rash
plus poetry by Patterson Hood of 'Drive By Truckers'

THURSDAY June 8th at 7pm: THE STORY OF THE PONY EXPRESS

"Missouri to California in 10 days"
THE STORY OF THE PONY EXPRESS

Running only 19 months, "The Pony" helped shape this mighty nation
through some of here most crucial months.

Dozens of applicants vied for jobs, eager to accept the death defying rigors they would soon experience. Mark Twain, who saw the Pony Express in action first hand, described the riders as: "... usually a little bit of a man". Though small in stature, their untarnished record proved them to possess the hearts of lions. History would record that they were among the most durable horsemen to ever straddle a saddle.

THURSDAY June 1st at 7pm: GOLD FEVER - Miner's Tales of the Wild West


"Gold Fever"
Miner's Tales of the Wild West

The typical miner was a bearded young man, dressed in a slouch hat, red long johns, trousers tucked into hlgh-topped boots - he packed a shovel, pick and gold pan. When his dream of easy riches eventually died he often stayed in the West and became a farmer, stockman, tradesman or professional. If married, he sent for his family - if single, he married a daughter of pioneers and started a new family.

The lasting effect of the gold rush was not so much in the individual accumulation of wealth, but in the simple fact that thousands of miners stayed rather than returning home and they helped win the West.
