Presented by Riordan Mansion State Historic Park at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park

Museum of Northern Arizona docent Jerry Snow will be again be doing “living history” at the Brown Bag Lunch Lecture in the visitors’ center at the Riordan Mansion at 12:15 PM on Monday, February 11th. “The Padre Canyon Incident of 1899: A first hand account by William Johnston” will be Jerry’s topic. Tensions between Anglo ranchers and resident Navajos resulted in a deadly incident east of Flagstaff in November, 1899. A murder trial in 1900 and a visit to the White House in 1901 had influences all the way to WWII. It’s a tragic story that is part of Flagstaff’s history.
