Lincoln In Louisville - Paperback

by David S. Traub (Author)

In 1841, a country lawyer and rising politician named Abraham Lincoln visited the plantation home of his closest friend, Joshua Speed.

The incidents on that trip would help forge Lincoln's attitude toward slavery and create a wide-ranging impact, not only on the future president, but also on the nation he would struggle to hold together through the devastating conflict to come.

David S. Traub, Jr.'s powerful stage play offers a glimpse at this pivotal moment in history, as seen through the eyes of two friends divided by fundamental beliefs in slavery and the dignity of man.
