Fritzi Dangberg: The Adventures of a Nevada Gal at the SLT Library

Fritzi Dangberg was not your typical rancher’s daughter. Born in 1907, Fritzi’s family was one of the most influential in Nevada’s Carson Valley, with a stake in several businesses and a livestock ranch that included tens of thousands of acres and animals. Her family’s prosperity made life comfortable and gave Fritzi many opportunities: college, travel and notable friends. While her heart was always at the ranch, her mind and spirit were ready to conquer the world. Mark Jensen, curator at Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park (located just down the hill), will share Fritzi’s adventures, accompanied by some show-and-tell of her possessions, that give a glimpse into making the most of life in the first half of the 20th century. Join us for this intriguing history lesson. Free and open to all.
