Recent In-Person Gable Lecture by Michael Cullinane

The Friends of Sagamore Hill celebrated TR's Birthday

On Thursday, October 27, 2022, at 7:00 PM ET, approximately 60 attendees joined The Friends of Sagamore Hill in celebrating Theodore Roosevelt's birthday with an informative and entertaining presentation by Michael Cullinane, discussing Theodore Roosevelt and the Tennis Cabinet, delivered at Christ Church Parish Hall in Oyster Bay, NY.  This was the first in-person Gable Lecture presented by The Friends in three years.


Cullinane examined some of the officials that collaborated with TR to make his administration a success. and explained why reviving their contribution to American politics demonstrates how Roosevelt’s administration really worked.


Michael Patrick Cullinane is Professor of U.S. History and the Lowman Walton Chair in Theodore Roosevelt Studies at Dickinson State University in North Dakota. He is the author of the award-winning Theodore Roosevelt’s Ghost: The History and Memory of an Icon and Remembering Theodore Roosevelt: Reminiscences of his Contemporaries. He is currently working on a book-length project that explores the so-called Roosevelt tennis cabinet of informal advisors.


After the lecture, Cullinane's book, Remembering Theodore Roosevelt, was available for purchase and signing by the author.  The books were provided by Theodore's Books (https://www.theodoresbooks.com/)


Also after the lecture, there was a celebration of TR's birthday, with Roosevelt family culinary treats, and a birthday cake!
