Video Q&A

The Video Q&A questions and answers were recorded at the Fort Laramie National Historic Site on June 16, 2012. The event commemorated the 175th Anniversary of Alfred Jacob Miller's trip to the Rocky Mountains. The event also featured a trial run tableau vivant of Miller's field sketch, An Early Dinner Party at Larrimer's Fork. The interviews and tableau vivant were orchestrated by James C. Auld, Project Director, as part of the Three Worlds Meet Project. (See "Trial Run Tableau Vivant" description and photos on this website.)
