The Winter Army

At the start of World War Il, the US Army had two cavalry divisions and no mountain troops. The German Wehrmacht, in contrast, had many well-trained and battle-hardened mountain divisions, some of whom by 1943 blocked the Allied advance in the Italian campaign. Starting from scratch, the US Army developed a unique military fighting force, the 10th Mountain Division, drawn from the ranks of civilian skiers, mountaineers, and others with outdoor experience. The resulting mix of Ivy League students, park rangers, Olympic skiers, and European refugees formed the first specialized alpine fighting force in US history. By the time it deployed to Italy at the beginning of 1945, this ragtag group had coalesced into a tight-knit unit. In the months that followed, at a terrible cost, they spearheaded the Allied drive in Italy to final victory. Ranging from the ski slopes of Colorado to the towering cliffs of the Italian Alps, The Winter Army. is a saga of an unlikely band of soldiers forged in the heat of combat into a brotherhood whose legacy lives on in US mountain fighters to this day.

Maurice Isserman is the Publius Virgilius Rogers Professor of History at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. He is the author of many books, on topics ranging from the history of American radical movements to the history of mountaineering. He is currently working on a book entitled The History of World Mountaineering in Ten Epic Climbs, to be published by Yale University Press.

Gender Fluidity: Terms and Historical Perspective in a Changing Sexual Landscape

$60.00

Instructor: Toby Simon

Time: Thursdays from 2-4 p.m.

Location: Wellfleet Library

Dates: October 19, 26, November 2, 9, 16.

This course will examine the changing sexuality landscape and the frequency with which we are often involved in discussions with our peers and families about gender fluidity. The course will include the history of the human sexuality movement beginning in the early 1900s as well as key elements of that history that are currently under scrutiny, criticism and attack in numerous places.

Beginning with the history and continuing with an examination of the various terms as we try to stay current can be challenging, confusing and rewarding. It often results in more questions and valuable conversations.  This course will attempt to address this landscape by looking at historical trends, current data and some personal stories.

Kander and Ebb: Life is a Cabaret! (on Zoom)

$60.00

Instructor: Marc Strauss

Time: Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Location: On Zoom

Dates: October 18, 25, November 1, 8, 15.

John Kander (b. 1927) and Fred Ebb (1928 – 2004) were a power duo of songwriters for over 50 years, penning tunes to Broadway shows and Hollywood and television films as diverse and provocative as Cabaret (1966/1972), Chicago (1975/2002), Kiss of the Spider Woman (1993), Liza with a Z! (1972), The Scottsboro Boys (2010), and many others. The two couldn’t have been more different: Kander remains, at 96, the midwestern sentimentalist composer, Ebb the sardonic and biting New Yorker. Somehow their differences gelled, and even if you don’t know them by name, their songs are etched in our hearts and minds: “Theme from New York, New York,” “Cabaret,” “Maybe This Time,” “All That Jazz,” and “A Quiet Thing” are just a few that you may recognize. 

Marc Strauss will provide historical context and lead discussion on many of their biggest hits as well as fascinating unknown tunes, presenting CD and DVD songs and dances from their entire canon of works in chronological order. Come relive the majesty of Kander and Ebb or, if you’re new to their work, experience for the first time why life is a cabaret!

More Irish Literature (on Zoom)

$60.00

Instructor: Rhoda Flaxman

Time: Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to noon.

Location: Zoom

Dates: October 18, 25, November 1, 8, 15.

Expanding on explorations of how Irish writers make art from their historical conditions, this semester, we’ll read and discuss the following five novels:

“Old God’s Time,” by Sebastian Barry

“Death and Nightingales,” by Eugene McCabe

“Fools of Fortune,” by William Trevor

“The Spinning Heart,” by Donal Ryan

“This is Happiness,” by Niall Williams.

Throughout this course, we’ll focus on innovative techniques for telling a story, and try to answer two questions :  

How do Irish writers make art from the historical record?

What it is about the Irish culture that generates such outsized and celebrated literary output?

This literature course will advance according to a combination of mini-lectures to set the context and discussions shaped by questions sent before every class. Participants may enroll either in the Zoom class ( Wednesdays from 10-noon) or the class in person (Tuesdays from 2-4 p.m.). Each class will be limited to 25 participants. 

 Highly recommended background reading:

“We Don’t Know Ourselves: A Personal History of Modern Ireland”, (Fintan O’Toole, W.W, Norton,2023). 

 “Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland” (Patrick Radden Keefe, Doubleday, 2019).

Sea Captains of Cape Cod

$60.00

Instructor: Michael Pregot

Time: Tuesdays from 4-6 p.m.

Location: Wellfleet Library

Dates: October 17, 24, 31, Nov. 14, 21 (no class on Nov. 7).

This course will explore the connection that each Cape Cod town has to the sea as demonstrated through its seafaring residents. It provides a glimpse into heroic maritime adventures, entrepreneurial brilliance, and an appreciation of the resolve needed by sea captains to thrive within a hostile seaside environment.

Maritime figures take several forms such as distinguished fishermen, military war heroes, deep-sea merchants, local coasters, packet boat captains, whalers, ship architects, luxury passenger liner magnets, and even “moon-cursers” prowling along the coastline for treasure.

A definite emphasis is placed on the role of the indigenous people, black sea captains, the female perspective of living aboard a ship, and the social status awarded to the various ethnic groups brave enough to face the perils of deep-sea travel.

Our study will delve into each of the 15 Cape Cod towns’ relative engagement to the sea and the commerce of the period in the 1700’s and 1800’s. In reviewing the data, we will discover that every town assuredly has a substantive connection to the sea and deserves to be given credit for its personal maritime history. The names and exploits of many famous captains as well as some lesser-known sea-faring figures will be revealed.

There will also be an opportunity for group interaction as students can suggest some subtopics of personal interest and even be encouraged to present some research findings of their own on a voluntary basis. The instructional format will include readings, discussions, group projects and critical analysis.

Isherwood and the Makings of Sally Bowles

$60.00

Instructors: John Dennis Anderson and John Shuman

Time: Location: Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre (WHAT)

Dates: Classes from 1-3 p.m. on Oct. 16, 23, 30, Nov, 6

Screenings from 1-3 p.m. on Oct. 20, 27, Nov. 3, Nov. 10.

The writer Christopher Isherwood is best known for creating Sally Bowles, a self-dramatizing cabaret singer in 1930s Berlin, whom he based on his friend Jean Ross. A classic avatar of the “manic pixie dream girl” trope, Sally Bowles first appeared in one of Isherwood’s autobiographical stories that was later dramatized by his friend John van Druten in the successful play I Am a Camera. The play was then adapted as the John Kander and Fred Ebb musical Cabaret. This course will explore the evolution of Sally Bowles over the course of these works into the widely recognizable symbol of “divine decadence” embodied by Julie Harris on stage and Liza Minnelli on screen. These various incarnations of Sally Bowles and her relationships reflect shifting representations of homosexuality, abortion, and anti-Semitism in literature and popular culture. The Monday classes will discuss readings of Isherwood’s story “Sally Bowles,” his 1976 memoir Christopher and His Kind, John van Druten’s play, and the Kander and Ebb musical, while on Fridays the class will watch various screen versions. All classes will be held from 1 to 3 pm at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater.

Building Relationships, Building Equity: Acknowledging the Continuing Wampanoag Presence on Cape Cod

"America" was built upon European contact and the imposed colonization of Indigenous people.  These processes must be recognized and acknowledged for the history of this country to ever be understood in the rightful context or to develop a culture of balance, peace, and respect. Understanding Wampanoag narrative and culture is part of the foundation to uplift outcomes for healthier communities on Cape Cod and the Islands. This series of events will help to make intentional efforts to address disparities in the greater community.

The MLK Action Team of Nauset Interfaith is excited to announce this series of events.

The Art of Her Life

At nine years old, on her first visit to a museum, Emily fell in love with Breakfast, a painting by Henri Matisse. Now a single mother, she lives in the world of art and can barely find time for her two daughters, much less for Mark, the man she loves. Her days are a jumble -she's lost the thread of her life-but a contest at the museum where she's the registrar gives her hope-the chance to see Breakfast again. Matisse's words and paintings permeate her days and nights, and glancing at a note card of the painting she loves, she sees something she s never seen before. The Art of Her Life shows the power of art to transform an ordinary life.

The Hurricane of 1938

The storm came without warning. On September 21, 1938 everyone went about business as usual, expecting just another rainy day. By evening Norwich had been battered by 120 mph winds, rivers surged over their banks, and a tidal wave raced up the Thames leaving Franklin Square under 10 feet of water.

Bridges and dams washed out. Streets were blocked with downed trees and roofs. The Rose City was devastated. The 1938 Hurricane still remains the most destructive storm in New England history. Chris Wisniewski and The Norwich Bulletin partnered on this book on the 1938 Hurricane in 2013, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the storm. The book contains personal accounts from over 65 residents of Norwich and the surrounding towns and over 60 photographs, many never published before. Experience the storm through the eyes of the people who lived through it.

Chris Wisniewski is the founder of Saving Stories, a personal history business dedicated to preserving memoirs, milestones, and personal history. She works to help individuals, families, businesses, and non-profits preserve their stories and memories. She lives in Wellfleet.

Melissa Giberson - LATE BLOOMER

Melissa Giberson is a middle-aged suburban wife and mother of two kids, solidly planted in the life she's always wanted. Yet she longs for something more-something she can't quite put her finger on until, one day at the Y, she finds herself mesmerized by the sight of a naked woman and asks herself: Am I gay? This revelation sends Melissa on a journey of self-discovery, one that challenges everything she thinks she knows about herself, forces her to decide exactly how much she's willing to risk for authenticity, and shakes the foundations of the family she's fiercely determined to shield from the kinds of wounds she sustained during her own childhood. Adrift in uncharted waters, Melissa finds fragments of understanding and peace in unexpected places-in a conference room in Israel, a small fishing village in Cape Cod, and at a yoga retreat center-that helps her begin to construct a new framework for her life. Over the course of her ten-vear journey, she finds hope, love, and more courage than she ever knew she was capable of, and she gradually assembles the puzzle that is her-the real her.

Necessary Trouble

To grow up in the 1950s was to enter a world of polarized national alliances,nuclear threat, and destabilized social NECESSARY hierarchies. To be a privileged white girl in conservative, segregated Virginia was to be expected to adopt a willful blindness to the inequities ofrace and the constraints of gender. For young Drew Gilpin Faust, the acceptance of both female subordination and racial privilege proved intolerable and galvanizing. Urged to become "well adjusted" and to fill the role of a poised young lady that her upbringing imposed, she found resistance was the necessary price of survival. During the 1960s, through her love of learning and her active engagement in the civil rights, student, and antiwar movements, Faust forged a path of her own one that would eventually lead her to become a historian of the very conflicts that were instrumental in shaping the world she grew up in.
