SUMMARY:Dr. Howard Miller Lecture Series: Amalia Kussner\, miniaturist
DESCRIPTION:Amalia was a miniature portrait artist and a “darling” of the Gilded Age – and became one of the most sought-after artists of that time. Her career would include painting many of those premier families and European and Russian royalty. With her adventurous spirit\, she traveled during the Boer War in South Africa to paint Cecil Rhodes. In addition to her artistic talent\, she was quite adept at marketing herself and commanding impressive commissions. Amalia was clearly a woman ahead of her time. \nThis presentation will cover the full story of her life\, starting with her early years in Terre Haute\, the incredible rise to fame in New York in the 1890s\, and her final years in Europe after 1900. You will see images of a wide variety of her work\, both from museums and a private collection.

Wilhelm\, Michael Allen\, Darrel E. Bigham\, Leland R. Johnson\, and Boyd Keenan tell about the settlement period of the river\, its economic importance\, the different phases of engineering over a long period of time\, and the river as an eco-political system.

SUMMARY:Dr. Howard Miller Lecture Series: Thomas Jefferson's Revolutionary Garden at Monticello
DESCRIPTION:Peter Hatch will present Thomas Jefferson’s Revolutionary Garden at Monticello. Hatch\, Director of Gardens & Grounds Emeritus for the Thomas Jefferson Foundation\, was responsible for maintenance\, interpretation\, and restoration of the 2\,400-acre landscape at Monticello from 1977 to 2012. Thomas Jefferson wrote that “the greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture\,” and Monticello’s 1\,000-foot-long\, terraced vegetable garden became an experimental laboratory\, an Ellis Island of new and unusual vegetable novelties from around the globe. \nWhile growing over 330 vegetable and 170 fruit varieties\, Jefferson was also a pioneer in supporting farmer’s markets and promoting vegetable cookery. This revolutionary garden resulted in a revolutionary cuisine in the kitchen at Monticello. Restored in 1984\, the garden and the Jefferson legacy continue to inspire the farm to table movement today. As a tie to our theme for 2022\, Peter will incorporate collecting issues at Monticello with stories of plants dying\, seed collecting compromised by naughty harvesters\, varieties not being true to name\, and more. Free\, reservations requested.

SUMMARY:Hoosier Authors Book Club: All These Beautiful Strangers
DESCRIPTION:The book club will discuss the novel All These Beautiful Strangers by Elizabeth Klehfoth. Charlie Calloway has a life most people would kill for. A tight knit family. A loyal set of friends. A fast-track to whichever college she chooses. But Charlie isn’t interested in what most people want. She’s a Calloway. She’s special. And she’s been taught to want more. So when she’s invited to join an exclusive secret society\, her determination to get in is matched only by her conviction that she belongs there. But behind their mysterious facade is a history of lies which unravels everything Charlie thought she knew…including the story behind her mother’s disappearance ten years ago.

SUMMARY:Showing of 1925 Ben-Hur at Wabash College

SUMMARY:Hoosier Authors Book Club - The Artist\, Ladoga\, Indiana by Kelly O'Dell Stanley
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, May 22\, the Hoosier Authors Book Club will meet to discuss Kelly O’Dell Stanley’s memoir The Artist\, Ladoga\, Indiana. In this memoir\, the brushstrokes of the author’s father\, Rob O’Dell\, echo long after his passing in 2017. As Kelly moves into his restored turn-of-the-century building in a small Indiana town\, she finds herself wandering the same roads he once traversed\, enveloped by the vibrant landscapes he painted and the emotional landscapes of her own heart. In her quest to understand her father’s legacy\, Kelly dives deep into his art\, discovering that its true beauty lies not just in technique\, but in the broken and the overlooked\, reminding us of all the power of being seen and celebrated.

SUMMARY:Hoosier Authors Book Club - "Some Memories of a Long Life" by Malvina Shanklin Harlan
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nOn Thursday\, September 1\, the Hoosier Authors Book Club will be reading Some Memories of a Long Life by Malvina Shanklin Harlan. Like Abigail Adams\, Malvina Shanklin Harlan witnessed—and gently influenced—national history from the unique perspective of a political leader’s wife. Her husband\, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan (1833–1911)\, played a central role in some of the most significant civil rights decisions of his era\, including his lone dissenting opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson\, the infamous case that endorsed separate but equal segregation. And for fifty-seven years he was married to a woman who was busy making a mental record of their eventful lives. \nAfter Justice Harlan’s death in 1911\, Malvina wrote Some Memories of a Long Life\, 1854–1911\, as a testament to her husband’s accomplishments and to her own. The memoir begins with Malvina\, the daughter of passionate abolitionists\, becoming the teenage bride of John Marshall Harlan\, whose family owned more than a dozen slaves. Malvina depicts her life in antebellum Kentucky\, and her courageous defense of the Harlan homestead during the Civil War. She writes of her husband’s ascent in legal circles and his eventual appointment to the Supreme Court in 1877\, where he was the author of opinions that continued to influence American race relations deep into the twentieth century. Yet Some Memories is more than a wife’s account of a famous and powerful man. It chronicles the remarkable evolution of a young woman from Indiana who became a keen observer of both her family’s life and that of her nation. \nWhen Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg began researching the history of the women associated with the Supreme Court\, the Library of Congress sent her Malvina Harlan’s unpublished manuscript. Justice Ginsburg wrote the forward for this biography.

SUMMARY:Hoosier Authors Book Club - "The Witchery of Archery" by Maurice Thompson
DESCRIPTION:The last book club selection for the year will be discussed on Thursday\, October 23. It is The Witchery of Archery by Maurice Thompson. Written in 1878\, this was the first book in English about hunting with bow and arrow ever published. Thompson was from Crawfordsville and one of Lew Wallace’s closest friends. It was the first important book about archery written in English since Toxophilus\, which was written in 1545. It was said that Witchery “…has as much effect on archery as Uncle Tom’s Cabin had on the Civil War and it made Crawfordsville the worldwide center for archery for decades in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. When Thompson wrote The Witchery of Archery\, he filled it with various stories\, many of which were humorous. However\, it also gave practical advice on the sport\, such as the manufacturing of archery paraphernalia and how to use the equipment while hunting. This is sure to be a different kind of read\, written right here in Crawfordsville. A book that added to both our legacy as the Athens of Indiana and to Indiana during the Golden Age of Hoosier Authors.
