ZEBULON PIKE TO SANTA FE
In 1806 Zebulon Pike, with 75 men, undertook a venture to Santa Fe to explore trade in that area. When he built a fort on Spanish soil the Mexican Army escorted Pike and his men on a 600-mile voyage to Chihuahua, Mexico to meet General Nemesio Salcedo, Commandant General of all Spanish forces in Northern Mexico. On Pike's return to the states he brought back a glowing report of the gold to be made by trading with the Spaniards.

MANUEL LISA: A Scoundrel Among Scoundrels

Meet the Audience: Doing Local History (I of II)
For me, what bridged the space between mid-August and mid-September was about 200 years of the history of North Minneapolis. I was invited to collaborate on a storytelling event that encouraged the local community to envision conditions experienced by those who had set foot on the banks of the Mississippi at various periods in U.S. history. My role was initially defined as doing some basic research and writing up a few scripts for the storytellers (actors) to work from. As I became more invested in the project, however, I found myself doing exploratory field trips, interviews, and even playing a role myself in the production.

Meet the Audience: Doing Local History (II of II)
The day of performance finally came and we arrived early to firm everything up, get a feel for the space and for the flow of the program. There was a fire glowing in the fire pit and the stage was set off by a square of tarp and about twenty or so sturdy rectangular blocks of hay. We had decided intimate seating was best, so that we could get up close to our audience and them to us. Behind the stage you could see through the cottonwoods to the river beyond.
