Robert "Doc" Newell's Birthday Celebration!
March 29, 1:00pm
Celebrate Robert “Doc” Newell with us, as Al LePage (Visual Historian and Performer), guided by entries from Newell’s diary, recreates his travels of 1868 from Lewiston, Idaho Territory, to Washington City and beyond. Alongside four Nez Perce leaders, Newell set out to renegotiate their treaty and seek appointment as Indian Agent. Each historical visual shared (drawings, photographs, maps, and illustrated newspapers) becomes a window into their adventure, transforming words from Newell’s journal into a living, visual narrative of courage, diplomacy, and discovery.
