Event Navigation
On Thursday, April 18, at 7 p.m., author Gary Clayton Anderson will make a presentation about his book Will Rogers and His America (2023).
Anderson is a George Lynn Cross Research professor at the University of Oklahoma. He will discuss the title, its new afterword, and the differences he found between the cowboy-trick-roping Will Rogers and the widely-read journalist. He points out Will’s influence during the social, political, and economic transformations of the Roaring Twenties and Great Depression. The first publication of Will Rogers And His America (without the Afterword) was published in 2010.
Admission is free and the public is invited to attend this Thursday night lecture at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum theatre in Claremore.
