LAEP Speaker Series: Allysia Angus

Lecture/Readings

Lecture Title: Tales from the Field of a 20+ Year Bureau of Land Management Career About the Lecture: Allysia is one of fewer than a handful of professionals who hold the title of landscape architect among the Bureau of Land Management workforce of fewer than 10,000 employees. The BLM manages almost a quarter billion acres of public lands (1/10 of US land base) - far more than any other federal land management agency - that span from the Pacific Coast across the deserts and rangelands of the Intermountain West to the Rocky Mountains. She will share successes and challenges from her more than 20 years of working on projects large and small, from her local district (which includes Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the Kanab Field Office) in southcentral Utah to as far flung as Alaska. During her public service career, Allysia has had a hand in land use planning, recreation site planning and design, visual resource management, research, interpretive projects, and a host of other random work.

From Utah State University to Utah State Prison: The Rise and Fall of Mark Hofmann, Forger and Bomber

Lecture/Readings

The Friends of the Merrill-Cazier Library present "From Utah State University to Utah State Prison: The Rise and Fall of Mark Hofmann, Forger and Bomber with Richard E. Turley Jr." In 1980, Mark Hofmann was an obscure student at USU. One morning that year, he walked into the University Library with a discovery that helped catapult him to fame as a document dealer. Over the next five years, his document discoveries expanded from those related to Latter-day Saint and Utah history to stunning pieces of Americana. Then in October 1985, three bombs went off in the Salt Lake Valley, the first fatally injuring a businessman who was a Hofmann client, the second killing the wife of the businessman's associate, and the third nearly killing Hofmann himself. The ensuing investigation proved that Hofmann was the serial bomber and that virtually all of his key discoveries were forgeries. This lecture, presented by Richard E. Turley Jr., will discuss the story that inspired Netflix's Murder Among the Mormons documentary.
