A Chautauqua of Theodore Roosevelt...
We spent a truly unique evening with Cathy and John at the Mark Twain Cultural Center in Incline Village in the presence of Teddy Roosevelt, himself.

| DOUG MISHLER was incredible as our 26th President and he should totally know all about this part of our history. He has a Ph.D. in American cultural history from UNR and has made numerous presentations as William Lloyd Garrison, World War II journalist Ernie Pyle, explorer and statesman Capt. William Clark, and industrialist Andrew Carnegie. |

Chautauqua
was an adult education movement in the United States, highly popular in
the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Named after
Chautauqua Lake where the first was held, Chautauqua assemblies expanded
and spread throughout rural America until the mid-1920s. Now they are
having a resurgence and we were excited about this one. We walked away
knowing so much more about the Bull Moose. I love an evening where it ends and I was not only entertained, but informed!
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
-Teddy Roosevelt
