DETAILS

This engaging and entertaining presentation brings to life the rich tapestry of Family History in America's Old West. Written in the style of Old-Time American Melodramas, Revival Sermons, Ghost Stories, and Shakespeare, it captures the good, the bad, and the ugly. With the guidance of their distant ancestor, Rev. Robert Jordan, this portrayal tells the story of Arizona's first Territorial Governor, John Goodwin, and his distant cousin, Richard "Dick" Broadwell of the infamous Dalton Gang bank robbers. Both men trace their lineage back to Rev. Robert Jordan, a 1630s colonist in the Cape Elizabeth, Maine area. Don't miss this delightful tale of family intrigue and conflict – a story everyone can relate to! ---- Special thanks to Karen Murphy (playwright) and The Basin Lake Theatre Project for bringing this family story to life.
