 This illustrated dinner lecture at the Wild Hare
Café in the Horsefeathers Shop, Elkhart, Illinois, will talk
about how Native Americans and Pioneers would have interacted
with the environment and how they had to adapt to the land and
its resources. He will touch on cultures as far back as 12,000
years ago during the Paleo-Indian time, through the Archaic,
Woodland and Mississippian eras, and then to the more recent
Kickapoo farmers and Pioneer settlers.
Dr. Campbell obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from
the Texas Tech University with majors in zoology and geology and
a PhD degree from the University of New South Wales (Sydney,
Australia) working primarily with cave animals. Campbell’s
lectures are exciting and thought-provoking, whether the subject
is about bats breeding, or the woolly mammoth that was
discovered by a Lincoln College student, the audience remains
totally engaged.
Having recently retired from 25 years of teaching
various earth and life science courses at Lincoln College, his
new role is Director of the College's Creekside Outdoor Center.

Campbell will explain the “Boardwalk” project at Creekside, which
recreates an actual “walk back in time.” You are invited to bring your own list
of specific year dates of important events (at the state, country, and world
levels) that you think should be labeled on Creekside's Peoples of the Past
Boardwalk.
The ticket price includes the lecture and dinner featuring a
choice of Beef or Chicken Pot Pie, garden salad, roll and dessert and beverage.
