The Sedona Historical Society is hosting the last in their 2007 series of Living History presentations at the Sedona Heritage Museum. Paul Lindberg will present on the “History of Mineral Rights and Mining in Yavapai and Coconino Counties." The impact of mining in and around the Verde Valley will be reviewed with emphases on how this activity effected the development of Sedona and other Verde Valley communities. Questions regarding the extraction of silver, copper, gold and coal will be answered. Mr. Lindberg knows mineral rights and mining laws. He will also discuss the geology of the "red rocks region" and how it contributes to the production of minerals such as copper , silver, etc. Members of the audience are encouraged to bring their questions and learn more about the riches of our general region. Lindberg originally comes from the iron mining country of Upper Michigan and Northern Minnesota and has a degree in Geological Engineering. After 20 years as a geologist with the Anaconda Copper Company, he was transferred in 1971 to Arizona to conduct a mineral exploration program in the Jerome mining district. Since 1978 he has been an independent consulting geologist working on metallic mineral properties in the Western U.S., Alaska, and northern Canada. Over the past several decades he has continued studying the geology of Sedona and the Verde Valley. Everyone is welcome to join the Sedona Historical Society for this presentation. Lindberg will be available after his talk for questions, and refreshments will be served. This is a free event. Every year, the Sedona Historical Society presents a series of Living History talks. Scheduled 2008 topics include the history of military action in the Verde Valley, area volcanic action, local archeology issues, and women’s perspective of area ranching and their role. Speakers will include descendants of pioneers, long-time residents with historical stories to share or other story-tellers about history. The Sedona Historical Society also operates the Sedona Heritage Museum. The Museum is located at 735 Jordan Road in Uptown Sedona and is open daily 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For more information on Living History or the Museum, call 928-282-7038. |
