History talks continue this spring at the Schmidt House! Join us each month for a free hour-long talk on social or natural history, each presented by a recognized expert. Talks begin at noon on the first Thursday of the month.
In 1881, the U.S. Army asked Congress to fund an exploration of the interior of Alaska. Congress refused, so an unsanctioned party of six soldiers and one civilian (a Washingtonian) disappeared into the Arctic wilderness in 1883. Local historian Dennis Larsen tells the harrowing story of their five-month adventure, based on the explorers’ journals.
