SUMMARY:Lecture: "Early Beaumont"
DESCRIPTION:Many of us know the story behind the Lucas Gusher at Spindletop\, the event that changed the history of Beaumont forever\, and pushed the city into the 20th century. \nBut the town of Beaumont was born on the thickly wooded banks of the Neches River nearly a hundred years before that day in January 1901. \nJoin us September 18th\, as Rob Blain joins us to talk about his new book Early Beaumont. A native son of Beaumont—educated at both Beaumont High and Lamar University—Blain’s new book is the latest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular “Images of America” series. \nIn his talk at the McFaddin-Ward House\, Blain will detail the story of those early days in Beaumont\, from the settlers at Tevis Bluff\, to that infamous oil gusher\, on through the second Spindletop in 1925; all events that ushered in a new era in southeast Texas\, and the building of a gracious city. \nAs always\, this lecture is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6 p.m.\, and the talk begins at 6:30. A reception will follow\, along with an opportunity to buy signed copies of Early Beaumont. Call (409) 832-1906 for more information.

SUMMARY:Lecture: "Ducks on the Menu -- Stories from Texas Market Hunting"
DESCRIPTION:In 1867\, the Galveston Daily News gushed:“Texas is still the promised land. Our market is supplied with great numbers of wild geese at 50 cents\, wild ducks at 50 cents a brace. All these things are the substantials on which we live.” Less than a decade later\, the men who supplied those local markets – market hunters – saw their fledgling occupation grow into a state\, national\, and even global enterprise. \nThis is the story that Rob Sawyer tells in his book Texas Market Hunting: Stories of Waterfowl\, Game Laws\, and Outlaws\, which chronicles not just Texas’ market hunting history\, but also the state’s first conservationists and game laws\, and the showdown that followed between early game wardens and outlaw market hunters. Published by A&M University Press\, Texas Market Hunting is due out in late August. This is Rob’s second book\, following last year’s  A Hundred Years of Texas Waterfowl Hunting: The Decoys\, Guides\, Clubs\, and Places\, 1870s to 1970s. \nJoin us on Thursday\, August 14th\, as Sawyer presents his lecture on waterfowl hunting along the Texas gulf coast. \nAs always\, this lecture is free and open to the public. It begins at 6:30 pm\, with doors opening at 6 o’clock. Call (409) 832-1906 for more information. \n\n
