Robert Silbernagel, author of Troubled Tales, will speak on April 14, 2012.

Robert Silbernagel, author of Troubled Times, will trace the events that led up to what's been called the Meeker Massacre and the subsequent expulsion of the Utes from Colorado at the April 14, 2012 annual spring meeting of the Grand Valley Historical Society.  The presentation will begin following a short business meeting at 2 p.m. at the Battlement Mesa Schoolhouse and is free to GVHS members.  Non-members are asked for a donation and everyone is invited to attend.  Mike Perry, director of the Museum of Western Colorado has described "Troubled Tales' as a powerful and provocative story that draws us into the time and mind of western Colorado during the 1870s and 1880s."
