The Wild West? Myths and Realities with Andrew Kercher

I'll see you at High Noon! Were there really ever any street shootouts in the Old West? Who was the fastest gun? How likely would you need a tombstone in Tombstone? The Wild West is big, huge. So big that stories quickly become legends, and legends turn into myth. Hear what's real about the American Wild West, and what's just another campfire story...and sometimes truth is stranger than fiction! This program will take place on Wednesday, March 18, from 6 - 7 p.m., at the Don Dodge Auditorium located at 200 Grand River Ave, Port Huron, MI. This venue is behind and across the street from the Port Huron/Main Branch of the St. Clair County Library System.
