John Kessell
Southwest Historian Dr. John Kessell will recreate a nostalgic story with slides and correspondence to show how he put the early Spanish history of Tumacácori together when he worked at Tumacácori National Monument in the early 1960’s. Although he left here to research and write monumental amounts of New Mexico’s early Spanish history, his two early Arizona volumes, “Mission of Sorrows” and “Friars, Soldiers, and Reformers,” are still the main sources of historical interpretation at Tumacácori National Historical Park. This lecture promises to be of interest to everyone.
The lecture will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the old Mission Church at Tumacácori.
