Leaders In Montana History
Author: Bev Monigal, Crimson Bluffs Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation.
In conjunction with Humanities Montana, the Crimson Bluffs Chapter of the Lewis and Clark Heritage Trail Foundation proudly hosts a Montana Conversation with Hal Stearns. Mr. Stearns will be in Townsend on September 28 for a free community lecture about leaders in Montana history. The talk will be at 7:00 p.m. at the American Legion. Donations accepted. This is a unique opportunity for the community and we hope you will
join us.
Program Description
A variety of leaders are discussed, from Sitting Bull to Custer, the Copper Kings to Wheeler and Mansfield, Rankin to Cobell, and more. Under the microscope, a few leaders are great, some are famous, others fair at
best. The past gives us many lessons.
Whether politician, military commander, educator, chief, or coach, leadership is key. It is a mix of art and innovation, charisma and communication, brave or brash. Hal Stearns tells stories about Montana’s past leaders to start a discussion about Montana today.
