Riley. He served in the U.S. Army for 40 years from the War of 1812 through the Mexican War and culminated with his serving as the last military governor of California during the famous “California Gold Rush”.  In the early 1840s\, Riley was commanding officer of the Buffalo Barracks\, an army post located on what is now the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site. The experience of Riley during his time here and his interactions with notable Buffalonians convinced him to return here after his military service was finished. \nGeneral Riley’s life and career\, including his time here in Buffalo\, will be discussed by local historian Thomas F. Schobert. He is the author of “Hush the Cannon’s Roar – The Life and Times of Bennet Riley: Defender of Buffalo” \nDoors open at 5:30pm \nProgram: 6pm-8pm \nThere will be a book signing at the end. Copies of the book will be available to purchase from the Museum’s Gift Shop. \nTickets are $12 (Free for Members): Purchase Tickets Here URL:https://buffalohistory.org/event/happy-hour-history-the-life-and-times-of-bennet-riley/ LOCATION:The Buffalo History Museum\, 1 Museum Court\, Buffalo\, NY\, 14216\, United States CATEGORIES:Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://buffalohistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/250604_HappyHourHistory_ThomasSchobert_web.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
