Submitted by Ilana Burk

The University of Arkansas Rich Mountain will host author and photographer Steve Price in the Lecture Hall on the UARM campus at 1100 College Dr., 10 a.m., Friday, Dec. 8. In addition to hearing Price discuss two of his books, “Riding with Cochise” and “America’s Wild Horses,” he will share some of the memorable photography found in his published works. There will be a limited number of books available for purchase.

Price has been a fulltime writer and photographer for five decades, specializing in outdoor recreation, travel, American history, and nature photography. He has written more than 3,500 magazine articles for dozens of publications, and 17 books ranging from freshwater fishing to African wildlife.

His photography has won national and international awards and has been used in books and magazines throughout the country. He has traveled widely throughout the world and currently serves as a contributing editor for Field & Stream.

In 2010, he was inducted into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame, and in 2017, he was inducted into the Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame.

“Riding with Cochise” is his 17th book, in which he describes the decades-long war against American in- cursion into the Apache homelands of New Mexico and Arizona. His two primary sources of information included the great-great grandson of Cochise, and the great-grandson of Geronimo.

He will also include much of his 16th book, “America’s Wild Horses,” describing how the Spanish mustangs, brought into North America by the Spanish conquistadors, helped transform the Apache into the war-like tribe they became. One of his primary sources of information was the great-grandson of the famous mountain man and guide, Kit Carson.

This event is offered free of charge, and everyone is invited to attend. For more information, call 479-394-7622, ext. 1370, email bminer@urichmountain.edu, or visit www.uarichmountain. edu/.

Ed. The Pulse will have an upcoming interview conducted with Price in November as a companion piece to the Dawn Olivieri series and as a belated Native American Heritage Month article.
