Towana Spivey has spent his professional career preserving and interpreting the prehistory/history of the Trans-Mississippi West with particular interest in the Oklahoma area. Born in Madill, Oklahoma, he is the descendent of several generations of Chickasaws who came to the Indian Territory (Oklahoma) in 1837 from northern Mississippi and western Tennessee.
His long term interests in the history of the frontier, Native Americans, military architecture, 19th century art and photography have resulted in several books and articles and his photographs have gained national exposure in publications by Time-Life. He has served as primary consultant, or been featured in at least 35 television documentaries focusing on subjects such as the Bison, Geronimo, Quanah Parker, frontier military, Apache POW’s, Buffalo Soldiers and other topics for major networks such as the Public Broadcasting System, Arts & Entertainment, Turner Network, Discovery, and the History Channel.
You do not want to miss his unique perceptive on the movie industry from the early days to today. Mr. Spivey will be available after the program to sign his latest book. Call today to purchase your ticket.
