with Author and Historian David Kruh DESCRIPTION:Who Really penned all the works attributed to Shakespeare?  The doubts have been around for over 300 years.  How could William Shakespeare — a man who never sailed — have written with such accuracy about sailing in The Tempest?  Or how — without studying law — could he have written with such insight about lawyers\, courts\, and legal issues\, in plays such as Henry IV?  Or — without ever serving in the military — written so splendidly of the rigors and technical aspects of war as he did in Hamlet?  That he couldn’t and didn’t is a fascinating concept that has amused many\, tantalized others\, and consumed the lives of a few\, including a Boston man who\, in 1916\, went to court to prove that someone other than Shakespeare wrote all those great works.  Before you laugh… he won the case.  \nHear the story of one man’s search for the “real” author of the works attributed to William Shakespeare and how — in a stunning piece of historical irony — that search played a role in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. \nThis program is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and we’re collaborating with a multitude of MA Libraries to bring this program to our communities. \n  \nPlease register here for the Zoom link. \n  \nAbout the Author\nDavid Kruh is a former New Yorker and a 1978 graduate of the University of Maryland.  While earning his Masters in Computer Engineering at Boston University\, David worked as an engineer at WRKO Radio.  He has also worked full time as a copywriter\, computer programmer\, radio producer\, radio engineer\, and\, for a few years in the mid-1990s\, as a spokesman and web master for the Big Dig.  He retired a few years ago from a semiconductor manufacturer\, where he was the direct marketing manager.  He is also the author of several other books\, notably two on Boston’s Scollay Square and Building Route 128.   David’s most recent book is Inseparable\, based on the audacious 1962 escape by three inmates from Alcatraz.  \n  \nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded.

(National Park Service)\n \nThe Natick Historical Society and the Bacon Free Library will host Shawn Quigley from the National Park Service to discuss this tragedy on Deer Island.  Shawn’s program will explore the historic use of the Boston Harbor Islands\, their role as an internment camp for Native Americans from praying towns\, and stories of survival and reliance from those imprisoned on Deer Island. \n \nThis program will take place at the Natick Historical Society\, located downstairs from the Bacon Free Library. \n \nPlease register in advance for this program\, since seating is limited.
