The program will also feature three award-winning papers from the 2008 Arizona History Convention: "Arizona Politician Nellie Trent Bush" by Arizona State University professor Heidi Osselaer; "The Woolsey Women of Yavapai County" by Katrina Jagodinsky of the University of Arizona; and "Civil War Veteran, Indian Fighter and Arizona Pioneer Charles Veil," presented by his great-grandnephew Fred Veil.
Presentations rounding out the program are "Mountain Meadows Massacre" by Westerner Roland Michaelis; "Arizona's Overland Trail" by local historian Bruce Fee; "The Real Story of Jack Swilling" by local historian and author Al Bates; and a discussion of the opening and closing of the Western frontier by Gregory McNamee of Tucson.
