Testimonials

As a presenter of historical programs, Steve Adelson is hard to beat. He's knowledgable, passionate about his subject matter, interesting, entertaining, and relates to his audience. I've heard him do a couple outstanding short programs, but I understand from a participant of an 8 hour tour at the Little Bighorn that it, too, was outstanding. Most amazing is how interesting he can make a subject to a diverse group of people, including women not generally interested in a particular aspect of a program. (Comparison of guns from Gettysburg/the Fetterman Fight/and the Little Bighorn would be an example). His programs work for kids, too, I'll bet. Give him a try: you won't be sorry!

"I am a graduate of Arizona State University, Western Kentucky University , Harvard university, and Boise State University, and this is the BEST history class I have ever taken. Backtrack West put together a wonderful course. . . the research, knowledge, and presentation are totally professional and authentic. If you want to learn about the Indian Wars in the west, you need to take this course."
