It may come as a surprise to discover that there was a Jewish presence in America’s Old West! Jews were involved at the Alamo, with Wyatt Earp, with Native Americans, and in many other facets of life and history from the California gold rush to Tombstone, Arizona. Come learn about this surprising and fascinating piece of American history.
