SUMMARY:The Graham Brothers Tractors and Evansville
DESCRIPTION:Michael E. Keller\, author of the recently released book The Graham-Bradley Tractor: A History will present a program in the Browning Gallery at the Willard Library on Saturday\, June 10th\, at 1:00 p. m. \nAlthough this new farm tractor history deals primarily with the introduction of the iconic Graham-Bradley tractor 0f 1937\, Keller’s presentation will focus on the two Graham farm tractors designed and built in Evansville in 1915 and 1919. Keller’s offering will be enhanced by images of these tractors\, their introductions\, and merchandising. \nThe Graham brothers\, Joseph\, Robert\, and Ray\, were natives of Washington\, Indiana. Raised on their father’s farm\, the brothers first manufacturing endeavor–glass bottle manufacturing in Loogootee–was wildly successful. Following the turn of the century\, the brothers established a large plant in Evansville to meet ever increasing bottle demand. The trio’s subsequent manufacture of the hybrid “Graham Truck Builder\,” the Graham Brothers truck line\, and bodies for the Graham-Paige automobiles will be emphasized in Keller’s talk. The integral business relationship with William McCurdy and his various Hercules firms will also be explained. \nThe presentation will be followed by a question and answer session concerning the huge impact the various Graham brothers’ manufacturing enterprises had on the commerce\, the city\, and the people of Evansville. \nPersonally inscribed copies of the book will be available following Keller’s presentation. The M. T. Publishing Company\, Inc. of Evansville is the publisher of this third Graham history book.

SUMMARY:Ernest Hemingway: One True Sentence
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Mark Cirino presents “Ernest Hemingway: One True Sentence” on Monday\, April 17 at 6:00pm in the Browning Gallery (lower level) at Willard Public Library. Book signing to follow! \n\nErnest Hemingway’s cartoonish “Papa” persona – the brawler\, boozer\, braggart\, big game hunter\, and chronic womanizer— often overshadows his greatness as a writer. In this presentation\, we will ignore the temptations of biography and myth to concentrate instead on the most enduring contribution of Hemingway’s life: his writing. Using Hemingway’s “one true sentence” credo as inspiration\, we will examine representative sentences from texts such as The Sun Also Rises\, A Farewell to Arms\, and A Moveable Feast to discover techniques that gave his work such lasting power. \n\n\nDr. Mark Cirino is a Professor of English and Melvin M. Peterson Endowed Chair of English at the University of Evansville\, where he has taught American literature for fifteen years. He has authored or edited ten books\, including Ernest Hemingway: Thought in Action\, Reading Hemingway’s Across the River and into the Trees\, and most recently\, One True Sentence: Writers & Readers on Hemingway’s Art\, which he edited with Michael Von Cannon. He hosts the Hemingway Society’s popular One True Podcast\, which explores Ernest Hemingway’s life\, work\, and world.\n
