Exciting News!!!

The Porter Rockwell Experience has proven to be so popular, beyond our expectations, that we are introducing an exciting new way to experience Porter. Motivational speaking! See our new page for more information. |
The Porter Rockwell Experience can be many things to many people. Porter Rockwell the man, was larger than life. As the second U.S. Deputy Marshall west of the Mississippi and the bodyguard to the Mormon Prophets Joseph Smith, as well as Brigham Young, he created quite the legacy and legend. His adventures and his beliefs are the stuff from which novels are created. Louis L’Amour was one of the many who wrote Porter stories and myths that are still told today.
With The Porter Rockwell Experience we want to inspire and bring honor to his name. Totally unscripted and interactive with the audiences, each performance is tailored to those attending. Whether it is talking about his belief in the Book of Mormon and devotion to the Prophet, or his many wild adventures in the western frontier of the 1800's, there is something for everyone to enjoy. In the line of duty, Porter killed and apprehended more villains than western lawmen Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, Tom Horn and Bat Masterson combined. He is quoted as saying, “I never killed a man that didn't need killing.” He was a man's man, right in the thick of things.
Experiences can include “Dinner with Porter”, stage shows, and up close and personal campfires (horse and gun play optional).
In the course of promoting our shows, we are astounded at the large, yet quiet following of Porter Rockwell, regardless of religious affiliation. While there are only two biographies written and many historical novels about him, those followers have read and re-read them.
Here's a link to a pretty good sketch on the life of Porter. It's a good read.

- Dinner with Porter: Participants enjoy authentic dutch oven cooking while Porter Rockwell walks among the tables entertaining with stories of his life and adventures.
- Stage Shows: Participants lean back in their seats, listening to Porter reminisce intermixed with era specific gospel music.
- Campfires: Porter demands attention as he rides into the campfire ready to greet friend or foe. Upon finding friends, he dismounts or comes in from the edge of the woods (whichever is appropriate), ready to share stories of his life.
