American Revolution and Declaration of Independence
The American Revolution has been cast as a fight for freedom and justice, a fight against tyranny and taxation without representation. The real sourse of conflict was the Proclamation Line and a threat to slavery. The so-called Founding Fathers were anything but a cohesive group with a comman agenda. This class will examine the stark disparity between the colonies and the conflicting World Views that joined in forming a nation-state. It was not a gathering of visionaries creating a land of freedom and justice; it was more of tow opposing magnets forced into a package that was certain to explode.

Spies, Strategies, and Secret Ways
From ancient times to the present, spies have been with us in war and peacetime. In these six weeks, we will look at these cloak and dagger agents, the methods they used and the results they achieved. We will examine the codes and devices they used to relay information, the sometimes outlandish ways spies have used to infiltrate their adversaries, and the accessories that could have inspired "Q" from the James Bond movies. The course highlights many of the heroes and villains and the clandestine organizations that have populated this shadowy world.

Spirits of The Great American West- Booth
There is no more exciting history than Great American West history. Nothing in world history can compare with the migration and settling of the western half of North America. From the First Nations to today, no history has attracted more interest, worldwide than the American West. This class is offered in a class discussion format using large hard copy maps. The instructor takes the students from the original migrations across the Bering Land Bridge through the explorations, migrations from the eastern sea board and the legends that have formed by American frontiers men, fur trappers, nesters and cowboys. There is no limit on the exciting details and many well-known characters that will be discussed. The class identifies fact from fiction and in some cases it creates, "Histories Mysteries" where archeological facts are being discovered today. This is especially significant in very early history where some theories prevail and others are introduced. Most people do not realize the impact that the American Western Culture has had on the world. It is unique, exciting and carries over today where the term, "Cowboy" is internationally recognized and imitated in many countries. This course will include a tour of the Booth Western Art Museum.
