Salon & Saloon Lecture:
Mayhem and Murder: Crime in Territorial Tucson
Saturday, October 17, 2 pm

Homer Thiel, Presidio Museum Board Member and Archaeologist, will explain how western movies and television shows envisioned the Old West as a place where breaking the law was common and guns were often used to settle arguments.  How true was this in Territorial-era Tucson?  This talk will look at the types of criminal activities that took place and tell a few tales about interesting crimes.

This lecture will be held live on the Territorial Patio at the Presidio Museum.  You may attend in person and pay your $5 fee at the Presidio Museum.  Or, you may watch this lecture on ZOOM!  Pre-registration and payment of $5 is required to receive the Zoom link.  Click here to pre-register for a zoom link.
