SUMMARY:LECTURE: Judith Freeman on The Crick
DESCRIPTION:Join SVMoA for an in-person talk with novelist\, Judith Freeman
 \, whose essay accompanies Jim Mangan’s photographs in the book\, The Cri
 ck. Freeman's talk will explore the history of Colorado City\, formerly kno
 wn as Short Creek or “The Crick\,” founded in 1913 by an offshoot of th
 e Mormon Church whose members refused to give up the practice of polygamy a
 nd instead created their own isolated community. Set against the stunning r
 ed rock country on the border of Utah and Arizona\, the town forms the back
 drop for Jim Mangan’s remarkable photographs depicting the lives of a gro
 up of boys who grew up in plural families and created a kind of band of bro
 thers\, teenagers who dress as 19th Century mountain men in buckskin clothi
 ng they often make themselves and ride out into the landscape to perform fe
 ats of amazing horsemanship. She’ll discuss the practice of ejecting youn
 g men\, known as the “lost boys\,” from the community\, as well as her 
 own personal connection to the subject of polygamy\, the town’s history\,
  and the changes she has witnessed in recent years.\\n\\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\

 er and Set For Life\, winner of the Western Heritage Award from the Cowboy
