Common Threads: Setting the Stage: In the Footsteps of Domínguez and Escalante

Join us for an enlightening talk by Josef Diaz, Chief Curator of History and Material Culture at the Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas! 🎤

Dive into the fascinating 1776 Domínguez–Escalante Expedition, a six-month journey that resulted in some of the earliest written and cartographic records of the interior American Southwest. 🗺️✨

Among the expedition's members was Don Bernardo Miera y Pacheco, a remarkable soldier, artist, cartographer, and polymath, whose influential map became the first European depiction of much of present-day Utah.
