Join Samuel Anderson as he shares true tales from Idaho’s most infamous prison. From daring escapes and unsolved murders to stories of romance, redemption, and revenge, this hour-long presentation reveals the surprising connections between Blaine County and the Old Idaho Penitentiary. The talk will feature colorful figures such as Samuel Ridgway, Six Gun Jack, and Sterling Tucker—remarkable outlaws and lawmen from Blaine County’s vivid frontier past.
