Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at the newly renovated Barkman Library!
Diego Martín, el vaquero, the Spanish colonial cowboy, is a true American hero. He was the first cowboy to ride the open ranges and sleep under the stars; the first cowboy to tame the wild horses of the plains and deliver vast herds of cattle across great distances; and the first master of the basic eternal cowboy skills-riding and roping. Diego Martín is a composite character based upon traditional vaquero stories and histories. His story is the living history of the origins and development of traditional cowboy practices in the American West.
Presented by Angel Vigil, an award-winning author, educator, and storyteller. Angel is Retired Chairman and Director of Drama of the Colorado Academy Fine and Performing Arts Department in Denver.
