Charles Badger Clark published his first book of poetry, Sun and Saddle Leather in 1915. Pegie Douglas and I have been planning a celebration of the centennial of this great work since we met in 2010. We will be performing in the home of the "Poet Lariat", the Badger Hole at 1:00 and the Tatanka Barn Theatre at 7:00 Sunday, August 23. We will be doing some other spots around Custer Friday and Saturday. Shebby Lee, Badger's great-grandniece will join us at his home, the Badger Hole to share some stories of the Clark family and perhaps some of her great-great uncle's poetry. Horse pack guide, encyclopedia of cowboy songs and friend, Bob Lantis will join us at the Tatanka Barn Theatre to share some of Badger's poetry and song.Come join us at the Custer State Park this weekend
in Custer South Dakota to remember the poetry in verse and song of Badger Clark.
