- **Event Name**: Echoes of the Heartland: George Custer & the Great Plains: History, Landscape, & Legacy
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: George Armstrong Custer transformed from Civil War hero to a frontier figure, fully immersed in the vast, wild heart of the American West. Jeff Barnes has followed Custer’s nine-year path across the Great Plains, from 1867 in Nebraska to 1876 in Montana. Using Custer’s trail as his route, Barnes has collected the imagery and the stories to show how the energy, danger, and beauty of the Plains may have influenced Custer and helped shape his complex legacy—and why his story still begs reflection a century and a half after his death at the Little Bighorn.

Speaker: Jeff Barnes
