The Mesa Verde Back Country Horsemen will host a presentation by Wayne Schaaf on the history of his great aunt, Olga Little, at the Horsemen’s meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 7 at the Elks Lodge, 2100 N. Dolores Road, in Cortez.
A buy-your-own dinner starts at 6:30 p.m., and the presentation starts at 7 p.m. Olga Little was an extraordinary lady, putting in tremendous work to pack in supplies via horse/muleback to the mines above Hesperus and Durango. She also in turn packed out gold. Schaaf will show a recording of “This Is Your Life,” from a time past, featuring Olga Little. Schaaf also will share photos.
Mesa Verde Back Country Horsemen work to keep trails open to pack and saddle stock. For more information, visit www.mesaverdehorsemen.com, or email us, mvbchorsemen@yahoo.com.
