"Jim Beckwourth: From Slave to American Hero"
Chautauqua re-enactor Ed Wallace will portray the character of Jim Beckwourth, a man born to a White plantation owner and one of his slaves. Beckwourth's life is an amazing journey from near certain servitude to one of many entrepreneurial adventures in the Old West: trapper, trader, soldier, scout, explorer and chief of the Crow Nation. Join the Friends of Coronado Historic Site as Mr. Wallace brings the Beckwourth character to life.
