CRESTVIEW — Historian and actor James E. Moore will perform “General Andrew Jackson: A Live Tribute” for the Dec. 1 First Tuesday Series class at the Crestview Public Library.
The program begins at 10:30 a.m.; coffee and cookies will be available 10 a.m., when doors open.
"In this dramatic presentation, General Andrew Jackson comes alive as Florida's first territorial governor," a library media release states. "(Moore, as) Jackson, recounts his forceful, disputed invasions of Florida that convinced the crowns of Europe that continued foreign attempts to colonize Florida were no longer feasible, resulting in a treaty transferring Florida to the United States.
For more than 20 years, Jim Moore has voluntarily performed historical presentations for schools, civic clubs, church groups and fraternal associations.
He has been a regular presenter for the Florida Chautauqua Assembly in DeFuniak Springs, the Florida League of Arts and other associations, representing various historical personalities.
Moore has studied the lives of each personality he portrays and appears in the dress appropriate for the occasion.
The Crestview library is located at 1445 Commerce Drive. Call 682-4432 for more information on the Jackson presentation.
