The History of Walking Box Ranch
This evening BLM Interpretive Ranger Jim Flook will present a short history of Walking Box Ranch and its first owners, silent film stars Clara Bow and Rex Bell. This is a great look at life in Southern Nevada in the 1930's, before Las Vegas became an urbanized gambling mecca of the world. Jim Flook graduated from the Schreyer Honors College at Penn State with a B.A. in History with Honors. He also earned an M.A. in History at the University of Florida and a graduate certificate in Historic Preservation. His research focused on the American Civil War, Constitutional, and Legal History. Jim worked as a seasonal park ranger at Gettysburg National Military Park for 11 summers. As a Historian with the Alaska Regional Office of the National Park Service, Jim drafted nominations to the Register of National Historic Places. He also served as an AmeriCorps VISTA with Rivers to Ridges, a heritage tourism non-profit in Putnam and Mason Counties, West Virginia. Most recently, Jim has worked as an Interpretive Park Ranger for the BLM at Sloan Canyon NCA and Walking Box Ranch.
