Event Tonight On Matt Warner: The Outlaw Who Became A Lawman
The Uintah County Library is excited to welcome those eager to learn more about the local wild west history with a special event tonight all about Matt Warner: The Outlaw who became a Lawman. Matt Warner was born in Sanpete County in 1864 and in 1878, when just a young teen, he went to the eastern Uinta Mountains. He eventually began his career as an outlaw, changing his name from Erastus Christiansen to the now famous Matt Warner. “Here in the Basin and around the West, Matt Warner rustled and robbed with Butch Cassidy and other outlaws and bandits of his day,” shares the announcement. “Then, he switched sides and wore a badge. Join award-winning author Rod Miller with his new historical novel, OULAWMAN, to learn more of the exciting story.” Tonight’s presentation is at 7pm at the Uintah County Library.
