 Nearly two years ago, Dr. Don Frazier of the McMurry University history department initiated our Chautauqua Learning Series with a lecture on the first Thanksgiving. Now, Dr. Frazier returns to discuss the events described in his upcoming book, Fire in the Canefield, the first of a projected series of four books on the Civil War in Louisiana.
Expect a spirited presentation in Dr. Frazier’s inimitable style of army
and navy campaigns from New Orleans to Galveston, and the human fallout
that resulted from them.

Our ongoing Chautauqua Learning Series is based on the Chautauqua movement
which spread throughout the rural United States in the late 19th and early
20th centuries. It provided educational lectures and entertainment for
average Americans before the advent of mass media like radio and television.
The Texas Frontier Heritage and Cultural Center™ is proud to continue the
spirit of that tradition in the unique setting of the Buffalo Gap Historic
Village.
The Grady McWhiney Research Foundation would like to say Thank You to our
honored suporters for helping us make the Chautauqua experience available
to our community: The Dian Graves Owen Foundation, Judd White ~ CBS Insurance
LLP, and Red Steagall. |
