Passionate about local history, Cave Creek writer and museum board member Patrick Grady will share stories of love, friendship, gunfights and lynchings from his new book, “Out of the Ruins,” which chronicles in depth for the first time the many dimensions of life in frontier Phoenix from its founding in 1867 to incorporation in 1881.

February 18 - Beckey Burgoyne

The result of Burgoyne’s lifelong admiration of the great actress Amanda Blake and her “Gunsmoke” character, Kitty Russell, “Perfectly Amanda” is a biography that provides a chronological look into Amanda Blake’s life, both on and off the screen.
