Chautauqua Institution, 1874-1974 (Images of America: New York)
Curious about the role played by their own ancestors in Chautauqua's history, Kathleen Crocker and Jane Currie have pooled their talents to create Chautauqua Institution, 1874-1974. As manager of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle for ten years, Crocker has lectured locally, eager to share her knowledge of Chautauqua's past. Currie, a professional photographer, has with discernment chronicled the Chautauqua community for nearly three decades. Their mutual passion for the area provides both the armchair traveler and the seasoned Chautauquan a fresh glimpse into this American utopia.
