IU School of Liberal Arts Sabbatical Speaker Series

Robert Rebein, associate professor of creative writing, Department of English, will present “Are We Having Fun Yet, General? The Tragicomedy of George Custer’s Kansas Years” as a Sabbatical Speaker Series lecture.

The lecture will be held from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 17, 2007, in Cavanaugh Hall, Room 508.

The spring of 1867 found George Armstrong Custer chasing the Cheyenne and Sioux across the plains of Western Kansas. Custer, Civil War hero and avid sportsman, expected this work to be brief but invigorating. That he was wrong in this assumption was but the first lesson in a long and trying summer for the so-called Boy General.

To RSVP: call Annette Hill, 317-278-1839.
