In Part 1, the scholar appeared in costume in the persona of his character. Clay Jenkinson, one of the founders of the modern Chautauqua movement and a former Rhodes Scholar, is one of the nation's most popular humanities scholars and the host of the syndicated radio program, "The Thomas Jefferson Hour." The 2009 McLellan/O'Donnell Living History Series is made possible by gifts from Mary McLellan Williams and the O'Donnell Foundation and through support of the National Endowment for the Humanities and The Seattle Public Library Foundation.
