Introduced by his nephew Congressman Mark Udall, Stewart Udall talked about his book The Forgotten Founders: Rethinking the History of the Old West, published by Island Press. The book takes a look at the history of the American West from the perspective of Everyman. Mr. Udall, a former four-term congressman and secretary of the Interior Department from 1961 until 1969, wrote the book because he felt that the notion of the American West that many people have, of gunslingers and cowboys v. Indians, is an incorrect one. Instead, the author writes in a series of essays that the people he believes to be the heroes of the old West are the hardworking and religious settlers of the homesteads. Mr. Udall tells the story of his own great-grandparents who were Mormon settlers of the West. After the event the author answered questions from members of the audience
