An internationally recognized and widely published archaeologist and ethnohistorian and leading expert on the Native and Spanish Colonial history of the region Dr. Seymour is joined for this presentation by fellow members of the Historical Arms Society of Tucson. Dr. Seymour has spent more than 45 years uncovering the stories, landscapes, and people that shaped our desert. Her groundbreaking research and dynamic storytelling bring history to life in a way few others can. Join us for this opportunity to hear her speak and experience an exhilarating live cannon firing! Not heard for 500 years, two bronze cannon lay buried in the 1541 battle site at the Coronado Expedition townsite of Suya, near Nogales in southern Arizona. A replica of the first cannon was made by a gunsmith and will be fired for the first time in public at Tubac presidio. The firing will be preceded by a discussion about the cannon, the replica, and the role of these guns for the expedition.
