THE SCOUT AND THE SCHOOLMASTER
History That Is Lived - Not Just Learned
by Mike and Belinda Adams
 |
500,000 travelers crossed 2,000 miles of prairie and mountains to reach Oregon - the "Promised Land," Be a part of America's expansion with two individuals who made that trek. The School Teacher, Widow Victorian Westman, is determined to start a new life in Oregon. Excitement and anticipation thrill her soul as she prepares for travel overland by wagon. Her friend and faithful dog Thor keeps pace with her excitement. Scout Charles Taggart, retired fur trapper and experienced guide, says "Immigrants are so ignorant they'd get themselves lost without me!" His grasp of the dangers and difficulties faced by families will keep you on the edge of your seat. |
Mike and Belinda Adams have dedicated over 20 years to active research of the fur traders. They are historians, artists, and actors. Original artifacts and "trail" memorabilia are incorporated into this fact-filled and entertaining performance.
They have performed for more than 2,000 schools in the past 10 years.
