A Life in the Saddle: Memoirs of a Pioneer, Circuit Rider, and Missionary

January 12 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Free

The Vernon County Historical Society kicks off 2025 with its annual membership meeting and election of board members. The public is invited to hear guest speaker Brian Hogan talk about his new book A Life in the Saddle. The book is based on Brian’s great-great uncle, Rev. David Hogan’s personal memoirs of life in pre-Civil War Missouri, the California Gold Rush, and the Civil War period in Vernon County. Rev. Hogan lived near the present-day town of Deerfield in Vernon County and gave his name to Hogan’s Ford on Big Drywood Creek, site of an 1861 battle. Refreshments will be provided.
