Frances Humphrey Lecture Series “Forgotten Tales of Carson Valley” by Karen Dustman

Description

Forgotten Tales of Carson Valley:

Love local history? Join author Karen Dustman for a fun dive into Carson Valley’s forgotten past, sharing little-known stories of buried treasure, unsolved murders, stagecoach robberies and more. At the Nevada State Museum and on Zoom.

Karen Dustman writes frequently about the history of Carson Valley and Alpine County. She’s the author of Forgotten Tales of Carson Valley; four books about local cemeteries; Silver Mountain City: Ghost of the Sierra, a history of Alpine County’s original county seat; and a guide to early Markleeville.

Karen keeps up an active history blog that’s largely devoted to Sierra history and capturing oral history.  She also publishes two free newsletters: one dedicated to historical topics, and the second offering tips for memoir/family-history writers. Find her books, blog, and newsletter sign-ups at: www.Clairitage.com.
