Marshall Trimble, is a storyteller, troubadour, a real cowboy, and the official Arizona state historian. A native of Ashfork Arizona, he can spin tales of Arizona history like no one else. He has popularized Arizona history not unlike Carl Sagan did with science. (Substitute Neil deGrasse Tyson for Sagan if you are too young to remember Carl Sagan).His folksy and engaging stories of all things Arizona brings our colorful history to life.
Tune in; entertainment guaranteed (and you will learn something as well) as Marshall explains

A fitting kickoff to the Think Tank’s four-part Salute to Arizona History, Marshall walks us through Arizona history, from Creation until WWII. Well, at least the most interesting parts.
