Questions. So keep your questions that you have in mind for the first and second speaker, or after the third speaker. I will introduce them briefly. All three of them. And then have an opportunity to say a few more words about each as they begin their talks. The first book is a biography of lincoln, subtitled the man who saved america. Say a few more words about each and it is for the general reader. The author, david, will show, has some astonishing illustrations.

A third is carl adams, who has just moved to the washington, d. C. Area from illinois, where he did Landmark Research on the case of a young slave named nance or nancy, who was freed as the result of a lawsuit filed by Abraham Lincoln
