Pulitzer Prize-Winning Historian
Edmund Morris
to Speak in Wallace, Idaho, World Silver Capital,
in Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of
President Theodore Roosevelt's Visit Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Edmund Morris, author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex will speak in Wallace, Idaho on Saturday, June 28, as part of a major weekend history symposium commemorating the 100th anniversary of President Theodore Roosevelt's visit to Wallace in 1903, according to H.F. Magnuson, President of the Northern Pacific Depot Foundation and the Wallace District Mining Museum. Roosevelt visited Wallace in May of 1903. The event at the time was marked with a parade and gathering for Roosevelt's speech at the Wallace City Park. Magnuson says the centennial commemoration will be equally exciting. In addition to Morris' talk, the weekend symposium will feature other talks and panel discussions on subjects relating to the early history of the mining district, the 1892-99 labor wars, the historic importance of the Coeur d'Alene Mining District and the future for the Silver Valley. |
