2.  Dr. Santiago Guerra of Colorado College discussing the origins of ranching traditions in Spain and Mexico, and the beginning of charros in Mexico

3.  Dr. Laura Barraclough of Yale U. detailing the birth of charro associations in the U.S., and how charros were active in their communities, especially Pueblo and Denver.

This is followed by a Q&A.
