SUMMARY:Writers' Wednesday - On The GO! - Horse Girl: Wild Horse Annie Book (Off-site\, KOP)
DESCRIPTION:Writers’ Wednesday – On The GO!\nWednesday\, December 9\, 2026\n5:00 – 5:30 pm – Building open\n5:30 – 6:30 pm – Lecture \nSpeaker: Terri Farley\, author\n \nBook Title: Horse Girl: How Velma Bronn Johnston Became Wild Horse Annie and Outsmarted the Mustang Killers of the West \nSummary of Talk: The American mustang—wild\, wind-tossed\, and thundering across the open West—might have vanished into myth if not for Velma Bronn Johnston. A shy woman who was left with physical effects from a childhood battle with polio\, Johnston was living a quiet life on a struggling ranch near Reno\, Nevada\, when she discovered wild horses being brutally transported to slaughter. Outraged\, she reported it—only to be offered a permit allowing her to do the same horrific deed. But instead of backing down\, Johnston took a stand. \nHer refusal to profit from cruelty launched her into a firestorm of activism\, upending her life. Laughed at\, threatened\, and dismissed\, she pressed on. When a rival mocked her as “Wild Horse Annie\,” she seized the name as a badge of honor and purpose. Embracing her new identity\, she began to raid illegal holding pens under the cover of darkness\, captivated the media\, and became the voice of a movement. Her biggest allies were schoolchildren across America\, whose letter-writing campaign swept the country. \nJohnston’s commitment to these majestic animals was finally recognized in 1971 when Congress unanimously passed legislation to protect the nation’s wild horses—an enduring victory for one determined woman and the animals she refused to abandon. \nAward-winning author Terri Farley presents the captivating story of Horse Girl\, revealing Velma Bronn Johnston in a new light through previously unpublished family photos and journal entries. Farley’s storytelling brings Johnston’s unwavering courage into the spotlight\, revealing a woman determined to protect the wild mustang—no matter the cost. \nTerri Farley\, author \nSpeaker Bio:  Terri Farley has always loved books\, horses\, and wild places. One of those wild places was inner-city Los Angeles\, where she first taught high school English and journalism before moving to Nevada. Farley now rides and hikes the range and spends time researching and writing the books that have made her an acclaimed author and advocate for the West’s wildlife—especially wild horses. She is the author of the Phantom Stallion adventure series and Wild at Heart: Mustangs and the Young People Fighting to Save Them. She was inducted into the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame in 2017. \nThe Writers’ Wednesday Lecture Series\, held on the second Wednesday of each month\, features a different author who takes part in a book signing\, a presentation\, and a question-and-answer session with the audience. \nThe program intends to highlight writers who focus on Nevada\, the Great Basin\, or the West in general. The authors discuss the content of their books but also share details about the creative process. \nWe would like to thank our partner\, the Knights of Pythias\, for hosting our off-site lectures. \nThe Knights of Pythias fraternal organization promotes friendship among men and for the general welfare of its membership. They strive to make the world a better place by practicing the principles of friendship\, charity\, and benevolence through community service. The Knights of Pythias have been serving Nevada communities since the 1870s. There are only three active lodges left in the State of Nevada. The address is 980 Nevada Street\, Reno\, NV 89503. \n

SUMMARY:Writers' Wednesday - On The GO! - Healing Plants of Nevada: Medicinal Uses by Indian Tribes of Nevada (Revised Edition) Book (Off-site\, KOP)
DESCRIPTION:Writers’ Wednesday – On The GO!\nWednesday\, March 10\, 2027\n5:00 – 5:30 pm – Building open\n5:30 – 6:30 pm – Lecture \nSpeaker: Karen Dustman\, historian and author\n \nBook Title: Healing Plants of Nevada: Medicinal Uses by Indian Tribes of Nevada (Revised Edition) \nSummary of Talk: For generations\, Native American communities in the Great Basin relied upon the plants of Nevada’s meadows\, deserts\, forests\, and sagebrush country for traditional healing. Based on a little-known 1940s ethnobotanical study\, Healing Plants of Nevada: Medicinal Uses by Indian Tribes of Nevada (Revised Edition) presents historical knowledge of the medicinal uses of native plants by the region’s Indigenous peoples. \nCarefully reorganized and reformatted for modern readers\, this updated edition arranges the plants by common name and combines the original historical research with practical plant identification\, updated references\, and newly prepared illustrations. Readers will discover traditional uses for dozens of familiar Western plants\, including sagebrush\, yarrow\, willow\, bitterbrush\, juniper\, rabbitbrush\, and wild rose. \nMore than a field guide\, this book offers a fascinating window into the deep relationship between people\, plants\, survival\, and healing in the American West. It also serves as a tribute to the traditional plant knowledge developed over generations by Nevada’s Indigenous peoples. \nKaren Dustman\, author \nSpeaker Bio: Karen Dustman is an author\, historian\, and former prosecutor whose work focuses on the people\, places\, and stories of the American West. She is the author of more than thirty books\, including multiple works on Nevada history\, ghost towns\, historic cemeteries\, and the communities of the Sierra Nevada. \nKaren’s latest book\, Healing Plants of Nevada: Medicinal Uses by Indian Tribes of Nevada\, explores the traditional uses of native Nevada plants by Native peoples of the Great Basin. The book builds upon a long-overlooked Nevada research study by incorporating updated plant names\, additional historical context\, and new illustrations. \nKaren’s lifelong interest in history has taken her from archival research and historic preservation projects to speaking engagements throughout Nevada and California. In addition to her nonfiction work\, she also writes fiction under the pen name Abby Rice. \nShe lives in the Sierra Nevada with her husband and an opinionated African Grey parrot named Rocky. \nThe Writers’ Wednesday Lecture Series\, held on the second Wednesday of each month\, features a different author who takes part in a book signing\, a presentation\, and a question-and-answer session with the audience. \nThe program intends to highlight writers who focus on Nevada\, the Great Basin\, or the West in general. The authors discuss the content of their books but also share details about the creative process. \nWe would like to thank our partner\, the Knights of Pythias\, for hosting our off-site lectures. \nThe Knights of Pythias fraternal organization promotes friendship among men and for the general welfare of its membership.

DESCRIPTION:Writers’ Wednesday – On The GO!\nWednesday\, September 8\, 2027\n5:00 – 5:30 pm – Building open\n5:30 – 6:30 pm – Lecture \nSpeaker: Dale Erquiaga\, author and historian\n \nA Soldier’s Road book \nBook Title: A Soldier’s Road \nSummary of Talk:  more soon \nSpeaker Bio: Dale Erquiaga is an author and education strategist currently exploring the intersection of history\, policy\, and the future of learning. A 2025 inductee into the UNLV College of Education Hall of Fame and UNR’s 2026 Alumnus of the Year\, Dale is the only person in state history to have served as both State Superintendent of Public Instruction and Chancellor of the Nevada System of Higher Education. \nThroughout his career in public service—which included serving as a key advisor to Governor Brian Sandoval—Dale has been at the forefront of systemic reform in the Silver State. His leadership extended nationally as the President and CEO of Communities In Schools\, the nation’s leading dropout prevention organization\, where he championed integrated student supports to ensure equitable access to learning. \nDale Erquiaga\, author and historian \nThe grandson of Spanish Basque immigrants\, Dale holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from UNR and a master’s degree in leadership from Grand Canyon University. He has been recognized as a fellow with Results for America and the Pahara Institute\, and as a guest expert at numerous Aspen Institute convenings. \nBridging his public life with his literary pursuits\, his debut novel\, Three Wives’ Tales\, won the 2020 Basque Writing Contest sponsored by the UNR Center for Basque Studies; his second novel\, A Soldier’s Road\, continues that saga. Dale is the proud father of two\, grandfather of six\, and resides in Northern Nevada with his dog\, Ezra. \nThe Writers’ Wednesday Lecture Series\, held on the second Wednesday of each month\, features a different author who takes part in a book signing\, a presentation\, and a question-and-answer session with the audience. \nThe program intends to highlight writers who focus on Nevada\, the Great Basin\, or the West in general. The authors discuss the content of their books but also share details about the creative process. \nWe would like to thank our partner\, the Knights of Pythias\, for hosting our off-site lectures. \nThe Knights of Pythias fraternal organization promotes friendship among men and for the general welfare of its membership. They strive to make the world a better place by practicing the principles of friendship\, charity\, and benevolence through community service. The Knights of Pythias have been serving Nevada communities since the 1870s. There are only three active lodges left in the State of Nevada. The address is 980 Nevada Street\, Reno\, NV 89503. \n
