Meet Local Author: Laurence Jurdem

Teddy Roosevelt's rapid rise to the U.S. presidency would not have occurred without the support of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Laurence Jurdem, Ph.D.'s book, The Rough Rider and the Professor, explores how Roosevelt and Lodge encouraged each other to mine the greatness that lay within each of them. 

Register to meet Laurence Jurdem on Wednesday, July 19th at 7 p.m. in the Community Room.
