To the right is a photograph of Vladimir Lenin, founder of the USSR: a
document of history. But is it history? Something is wrong with the picture. Come listen to Dr. Gary
W. Shanafelt, Professor of History at McMurry University, discuss how historians
sift through the evidence of the past to try to figure out what really
happened (and what didn’t). Dr. Shanafelt will illustrate his points with
a slide show of paintings and photographs. History is not always what it
seems!

Doing History will be the third lecture in our new Chautauqua Learning Series. The 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.
