The 2013-2014 second Friday Old Schoolhouse Lecture Series begins with “The Lives and Times of Billy Mitchell, an American Cowboy,” on Friday, September 13th, at 7:00pm The Mojave Desert, rich with cowboy and Indian legends, was settled by people who celebrated life, ranching, mining and cowboy ethics. Billy Mitchell, fourth generation of one of the founding families of Barstow, is a rancher, cowboy, father, grandfather, great grandfather and resident of Johnson Valley. He will relate his fascinating and compelling story about growing up in the Mojave Desert with his rancher grandfather and stories of his life as a rancher, rodeo rider
and cowboy. Hilary Sloane moved from Los Angeles to Joshua Tree in 2009. Having left a career as a photo stylist and film producer she picked up her camera and began to explore the Mojave desert. While photographing a calendar for Johnson Valley, she met Billy Mitchell and his family. A friendship has been established, and Billy and Hilary are now working together, with his stories and her photographs to bring awareness about the rich cowboy heritage in the High Desert.
