A visit to Brent Ashworth’s rare books and artifacts store reveals some stunning items for the Discovery Road audience. Ashworth shows a Pony Express
bible used by a rider out west in 1860. A handgun and holster
that once belonged to Butch Cassidy comes with a story about
the outlaw possibly living out his years as an adding machine
salesman in Spokane, Washington. Ashworth then shows a rare
photograph of a soldier from the Battle of Bunker Hill that
might have known people from the 1600s.
The program makes a stop in Moroni, Utah where a man shows wagons once used
by pioneers and trailblazers from around the country for
hauling grain, bales of hay, wool and delivering milk to homes
and neighborhoods. The historic Peteetneet school in Payson,
Utah is where a retired educator has been operating his
miniature train collection for over two decades. Teacher Doug
Lamb discusses his lifelong passion for model trains, planes, and
automobiles.
