Comedy! Tragedy! Horses!
Meet the creators of ”The Duchess Ranch of Old John Ware“
As part of Historic Calgary Week, join us to celebrate this new graphic novel, which tells the true tale of John Ware. Freed from slavery after the end of the American Civil War, Ware rode cattle drives from the southern United States to the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, where he rose to become a prominent
rancher. FFWD Weekly’s Arts and Lifestyle Editor Drew Anderson will host a conversation with the book’s author James Davidge and illustrator Bob Prodor. Musician Shawn Canning will perform original tunes inspired by the book.
