Portrait of Abraham Lincoln

American history will come to life in the capable hands of historical dramatist R.J. Lindsey when he portrays President Lincoln as he joins his visitors on a February day in 1865.

As the war is coming to a conclusion, Mr. Lincoln recalls the conflict's beginning; the misconceptions Northerners and Southerners had about each other; the crisis decisions those first 39 days; the Fort Sumter strategy; his trouble with generals; and his purpose to preserve the Union and free elections and to place slavery on the road to extinction.

Known as a fine storyteller, the president delights his audience with stories about critics, office-seekers, lawyers and congressmen.
