Description
Event Details John ‘Snowshoe’ Thompson is one of the most compelling and intriguing characters in all of western history. His bravery and courage in carrying the US Mail over the snow laden Sierra Nevada Mountains and rescuing dozens of stranded wayfarers…for over 20 years…is the kind of thing superhero tales are made from. Local historians David & Gayle Woodruff, assume the characters of Thompson and his wife Agnes in a 55-minute Chautauqua presentation. You can find out more and get tickets to this and other events by going to Minden Mill’s official website and selecting “Book an Experience”.
