Department of History announces 'Luke the Longhorn' graphic novel release party Department of History announces 'Luke the Longhorn' graphic novel release party

The WSU Department of History invites you to the release of a new graphic novel depicting the founding of Wichita from 1-3 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday, Dec. 2) at Old Cowtown Museum. The museum will host writers and researchers who created "Luke the Longhorn: Chisholm's Trail." Get a copy of the graphic novel, take pictures with a live longhorn calf, and explore some of the buildings that were built in the early days of Wichita.

Writer Matthew Pacholski, artist Miles Foley and a team of student researchers from WSU -- Andrea Wilson, Barb Myers and Alicia Duran -- have taken this story and put it into a graphic novel. This rich and diverse depiction is easy to read and fun for all ages. Admission to the museum is free with this event.
