Author Visit with Bob Schneider

Robert Schneider is the author of “COURAGE AND PERSEVERANCE: Philipp Schneider and Gottlieb Sayler Family History.” This family history is the story of Germans emigrating from Russia. It shows how historical events, such as the Reformation, wars, political strife, and economic problems caused people to uproot their lives and move thousands of miles in search of opportunities for a better life.

As an American history teacher in the Spearfish School District for 36 years, he tells his family’s unique story and through his story, shows the common thread that many immigrants families have experienced.

This is a FREE event presented by ArtCentral Spearfish. Recommended for ages 15 and up. Younger children may attend but must be accompanied by an adult.

The event takes place in the ArtCentral RE:create makerspace in The Matthews’ art gallery.
