BYU to host San Juan Mission symposium

Published: Thursday, Jan. 12 2012 5:00 a.m. MST

In connection with the Charles Redd Center’s 40th anniversary, the Escalante/Hole-in-the-Rock Heritage Center is hosting the San Juan Mission Symposium on Friday, Feb. 17, at 6:30 p.m. The event will be held at the BYU Conference Center.

One of the symposium’s purposes is to support efforts to rebuild Fort Bluff.

The event will have some limited seating, but is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is not required to attend the event.

With the popularity of Gerald Lund’s book, “The Undaunted,” the event was planned to offer accounts of the historical San Juan Settlement. Presenters include historians Lamont J. Crabtree, David S. Carpenter and Douglas L. Major.
