The Seward County Community College/Area Technical School Library continues its “Lunch in the Library” series with living historian Marc Ferguson as famed buffalo hunter Billy Dixon on Wednesday, Nov. 3.Dixon gained fame as a hunter and scout, but was probably best remembered for what happened in 1874 at the Battle of Adobe Walls. As part of a small trading community in the Texas panhandle, Dixon was one of 29 people who held off an attack of 700 Plains Indian warriors.
Dixon was also one of only eight civilians in U.S. history to receive the Medal of Honor.
Bring your own lunch and we’ll provide the drinks and cookies!
