Military Matters: Defense, Development, & Dissent in the Pikes Peak Region

10/2/2017

 
Part 1 of 7
The 2015 Regional History Symposium, “Military Matters: Defense, Development, & Dissent in the Pikes Peak Region,” provided a diverse view of military activity in the area. Listeners will learn about the development, defense, and dissent of the region’s military history. From the Spanish expedition of the early 18th century to the quest for extraterrestrial dominance in the space race of the 20th century, the military matters of the Pikes Peak region played a key, and often overlooked, role in the development of the region as a military community.

  • Michael L. Olsen--"Me encontre con seis americanos” - The Spanish Military Expedition that Changed the History of the Southwest
