Everyone knows about the Lincoln Douglas debates, but not everyone knows that Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas had a twenty-five year relationship as friends, rivals for the hand of Mary Todd, political rivals, political enemies, and finally reconciled as friends again. In Jan Jacobi’s third young adult novel about Abraham Lincoln, the award winning writer chronicles the Lincoln Douglas relationship. In this session, Jacobi will introduce you to his work and give you personal insights into who he deems our greatest president.
