Abraham Lincoln as Storyteller presented by Kevin Wood (Online - Zoom)

President Abraham Lincoln shares our nation’s history and his own personal history by way of some of his favorite stories and jokes. Mr. Lincoln sometimes told these jokes and Stories simply to entertain, but more often than not, when he would begin “That reminds me of a little story…”, there were other reasons, too. He might wish to illustrate a point, relieve tension, or distract from the difficulties and hard realities of life, especially in the midst of the Civil War. Mr. Lincoln’s stories will make you laugh, but many will also cause you to reflect on life, people, and the world we live in. The link to attend this Zoom presentation will be posted here prior to the event.
