Warren’s years of research reveal why Western scholars consider Nate Champion to be one of the unsung heroes of American history. As a young Texan cowhand, he travels to Wyoming to stake his claim as an independent rancher. Nate finds himself thrown into the crucible of the Johnson County War. This program reveals one of America’s most egregious acts of insurrection and how one man unknowingly prevented the crime of the century and became a martyr to the common laborer. Join us to find out about how the government’s free-range policy inspired chaos and lawlessness among ranchers all over the West.

John Lomax III: Preserving Western Music One Song at a Time
Saturday, March 8, 2025, 1:00 PM
The Booth Western Art Museum invites the community, and Gala & Art Auction attendees, to John Lomax III: Presenting Western Music One Song at a Time, on Saturday, March 8 at 1:00 PM.
Our guest speaker will be John Lomax III, a former national-level music talent manager. On his 80th birthday, John released his debut CD American Folk Songs, featuring material gleaned from the work of his father and grandfather. The latter is the famed Western music historian and musicologist John Avery Lomax, who was the original chronicler of classic Western songs such as “Home on the Range”. Were it not for his publications such as Cowboy Songs and Other Frontier Ballads and Songs of the Cattle Trail and Cow Camp, many of the most cherished cowboy and western songs may have been lost to history. During this lively program, Director Seth Hopkins will interview Lomax III and he will sing Western classics in a traditional cowboy style.
Included in General Admission and FREE for Booth Museum Members.
