The discussion will be moderated by Patrick Reardon, author, former
reporter for 32 years with the Chicago Tribune and former scholar in
residence with the Newberry Library. The historians on the panel are
James Cornelius, Lincoln curator at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential
Library and Museum; Daniel Stowell, director and editor of The
Papers of Abraham Lincoln; Ron Keller, assistant professor of
history and political science at Lincoln College and director of the
Lincoln Heritage Museum; and Matthew Holden, Wepner Distinguished
Professor in Political Science at the University of Illinois at
Springfield.
The public is invited to attend this free event, and audience
questions and comments will be welcomed following the discussion by
the historians. Those attending who want to read the book beforehand
may obtain copies from many public libraries. The gift shop at the
Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum also has copies of the book for
sale.
