Book Overview

About Chautauqua: As An Idea, As A Power, And As A Place is a book written by Emily Raymond in 1885. The book explores the history and significance of the Chautauqua movement, which began in Chautauqua, New York in the late 1800s. The Chautauqua movement was a cultural and educational movement that aimed to provide people with access to knowledge and information that they might not otherwise have had access to. The movement was based on the idea of lifelong learning and personal growth, and it was designed to bring together people from all walks of life to share ideas and experiences. The book explores the history of the movement, its impact on American society, and the role that Chautauqua played in shaping the cultural and intellectual landscape of the United States. It is a fascinating look at a movement that had a profound impact on American culture and society, and it is an important historical document for anyone interested in the history of education and intellectual life in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
