As much as we love the
"American Old West"

the very things we love about it are disappearing every day.

That's why capturing
the stories of the old west, 
straight from the
 "People Who Have Kept
the Spirit of the Old West Alive"
is an important project.

Join us as we interview and record oral histories before they fade away...

Our first interview is with the man who has done the most to promote and preserve Arizona history in the last four decades, Marshall Trimble.

Born in Ash Fork, he has lived and taught Arizona History and is recognized as the leading authority and holds the position of Arizona State Historian.

But how much do you actually know about Marshall?

Come sit with us for an hour or two as he tells us about his life and experiences.

How did he learn so much about Arizona and what about this state has thrilled him the most.

Here about all of the interesting characters in Arizona history he has met and his impressions of their significance in history.

If you enjoy Arizona history this is a must see event!  

 

This promises to be an exciting evening as the author of so many Gun Law books and an ardent defender of 2nd Amendment Rights is honored as one of the people who keep the “Spirit of the Old West Alive. With a change of administration in Washington DC, the need to stand diligent in guarding our rights has people engaging in conversation and on guard. Many groups are attending this event to show their concern and support. (www.gunlaws.com)

Alan Korwin wrote his first book, The Arizona Gun Owner’s Guide, in 1989. It is now in its 23rd edition with more than 100,000 copies in print. He went on to write or co-write seven more books on gun laws, including state guides for California, Florida, Texas and Virginia, the unabridged federal guide Gun Laws of America, and his 11th, which debuted at the 2008 Gun Rights Policy Conference, The Heller Case: Gun Rights Affirmed!

With his wife Cheryl he operates Bloomfield Press, which has grown into the largest publisher and distributor of gun-law books in America. His website, gunlaws.com, features a National Directory to every gun law in the country and more than 160 books and DVDs for gun owners and the freedom movement. Alan’s blog, PageNine.org, is carried by dozens of paper and online outlets, and rumors about his political parody band, The Cartridge Family, cannot be confirmed.
