Lincoln Speaker and Presenter
Hilarity, heartbreak, humanity and brilliant speeches abound as President Lincoln recounts his childhood in Indiana(ages 7-21), where he losses his mother and sister, teaches himself to read, and learns the value of hard work.
Then he is off to Illinois for the prairie lawyer years, life with Mary and sons, political aspirations, and debates with Stephen Douglas.
Finally, we join him in Washington for the Civil War tragedy and triumph as well as ultimate freedom for slaves.
