    Although history tries to tell us that only men settled the Old West, that is shattered by Bommersbach’s verbal tour through some of the amazing women who made all the difference. Any woman who came West in the 1800’s had to be full of grit and spit to survive. Hear the collected stories of dozens of women who prove it.  Ever heard of Donaldina Cameron or Biddy Mason?  Sharlott Hall or Pearl Hart who was Arizona’s infamous stagecoach robber? Bommersbach reveals the in depth contributions of women like Lozen, the Apache warrior considered to be the “Joan of Arc” of her people and Terriita, the most famous Mexican woman in the nation at the turn of the century. Meeting these women, you will never think of the Old West as the same again!

    Jana Bommersbach is an acclaimed and respected journalist having been a reporter and editor for both weekly and daily newspapers; has written columns and investigative stories for magazines; has appeared on television with both political commentaries and investigative stories. She is also an accomplished author, releasing her newest book in 2018.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
