Helen Daurio will give a talk on James P. Beckwourth on Feb. 19 at 2 p.m. as a part of the DANA Cultural Center’s Sunday Speaker Series. The talk is followed by a question-and-answer session also hosted by Daurio.
Beckwourth (1798-1866) is a near-legendary mountain man figure known for rising out of slavery and becoming a fur trader and explorer who actually spent time at the Dana Adobe.
