Verne had the pleasure of talking to writer and scholar Dr. John Langellier about the Fall for History Festival taking place in Wallace, ID, October 6-9. The festival is made possible by the cooperation of the Idaho Humanities Council, the Idaho Historical Society, the Idaho Association of Museums, and Visit Idaho. John Langellier, a scholar of Buffalo Soldiers, will speak about Wallace's violent mining strikes and the Great Fire of 1910. Verne talked with Dr. Langellier about these presentations as well as with Chamber Coordinator Dave Copelan.
