Ann Butler to speak to Southwest Studies

The Center of Southwest Studies will continue its 2015 summer lecture series, “Imagining the West,” with Ann Butler’s talk, “Bury My Heart at Boot Hill: Death in Southwest Colorado” at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in the center’s Lyceum Room No. 120.

Butler, a journalist, spent more than 10 years writing more than 5,000 obituaries for The Durango Herald and, in the process, became both comfortable talking about death and fascinated in the many ways humans describe one of the things that’s certain in life: that it will come to an end. Butler’s talk will explore the topic from pre-Hispanic time through the Victorian age.

All summertime lectures are scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on specific Wednesdays and are free to the public.
