DALLAS (SMU) – Anne Hyde, senior fellow in SMU’s Clements Center for Southwest Studies, will preview content from her book in progress, tentatively titled, In Plain Sight: A Half-Breed History of the American West, at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18, in McCord Auditorium in SMU’s Dallas Hall. The lecture will be preceded by a 5:30 p.m. reception.
Using family stories from the American West, Hyde will describe the long hidden world of mixed blood people. In fur trade forts, military cantonments and Indian towns, the frontier West was filled with mixed blood children. Their stories help understand the surprising history of indigenous and white Americans in the nineteenth century.
This lecture is free and open to the public, though seating is limited. Please call 214-768-3684 or register online. READ MORE
