Following a brief business meeting that will include the election of officers for 2024, author and historian, Dr. John Langellier will speak about the Buffalo Soldiers in the US Army from 1866 to 1916.

Per the author: "The title of my short story novel pertains to a small country town and a piece of land that perhaps prepared me for the better part of my life. This land was part of the Old Spanish Land Grant known as the San Jose de Sonoita Spanish Land Grant. Growing up in a small country town next to the Grant/El Grante impacted my childhood and later years as a young man. I thought about all those childhood adventures I experienced in a small country town and on this piece of hallowed ground called The Grant/El Grante. However, like every child or young person growing up in this world, we all have that lasting memory encrypted in our minds about a particular unforgettable place and time that is haunting."

Following a brief business meeting, author Albert Monreal Quihuis will speak on “ARIZONA’S WILD TERRITORIAL DAYS AND IT’S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH STATEHOOD”
