Posted: Tuesday, September 02, 2008
VERMILLION, S.D. -- Dan Flores, Ph.D. and A.B. Hammond professor of Western history at the University of Montana, will deliver the 2008 Schell Lecture at the University of South Dakota at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 25 in the Freedom Forum Conference Center of the Al Neuharth Media Center.
Flores' lecture is an illustrated look at the western horse trade during the late 18th and early 19th centuries entitled, "Bringing Home All the Pretty Horses: The Horse Trade of the Early American West, 1775-1825."
Flores publishes primarily on the environmental history of the American West, the art history of the West and Native American history. His book, "Horizontal Yellow: Nature and History in the Near Southwest," was a finalist for two literary prizes.
Sponsored by the USD Department of History, the Schell Lecture is named after Dean Herbert S. Schell (1899-1994), who served the department of history at the University of South Dakota and the state of South Dakota for 43 years.
