SUMMARY:Chautauqua - "Harriet Walley"
DESCRIPTION:“Made in Nevada” \nHarriet Walley was the wife of David Walley of Carson Valley’s “Walley’s Hot Springs”. While David Walley received most of the credit for the resort\, it was really his wife Harriet who ran the establishment while he was alive\, and kept it going for many years\, under challenging circumstances after his death. \nCora Johnson taught for thirty-six years in the subjects of Physical Education\, History\, English Learners and retired as a high school librarian.  Johnson’s lifelong curiosity in what makes things tick and how they are connected\, along with wanting to know about the rich history of her new environs in 2013\, prompted her to attend Dangberg Historic Park events. Those events contained many lessons\, one of which was Chautauqua. Johnson is an accomplished Chautauquan who also portrays two other Nevada women. \nCost: Free \nThe Ranch House will be open 11 am – 1 pm for event guests.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua - "The Notorious Mrs. Lee: Gold Rush Madam"
DESCRIPTION:“Celebrating the American Spirit”\n\nShe is recorded in history books as “the notorious Mrs. Lee.” She was probably a procurer\, in other words\, she brought girls from China to the United States. So in essence\, she was part of human trafficking at the turn of the 20th century.\n\nHer story is the story of the Chinese during the Gold Rush and the building of the railroads. It is a story about early Chinatowns and the Chinese as a labor force that helped to build the West. But primarily\, it is the story of the horrendously difficult life\, including the prejudice\, racism\, social inequity\, and exclusion\, of the Chinese in America.\n\nThe story of Bowen Lee’s great great grandmother Lee\, is a story that includes girl infanticide\, foot binding\, being sold into slavery\, and casting women into the street to die when they are no longer needed.\n\n\nBowen Lyam Lee has been on the stage of national and international storytelling events\, conducts workshops for educators\, and performs virtually with national\, international\, and regional programs. She has won numerous national story slams and been a National Storytelling Network Grand Slam winner. She is a Chautauqua scholar who has performed Asian women of history\, including Junko Tabei and Bowen’s great grandmother\, who was born and raised in the Chinese fishing village of Monterey. \nCost: $15\, 16 years and younger – Free \nThe Ranch House will be open 3:30 – 5:30 pm for event guests.
