Lincoln Tales Tall and True Brian Fox Ellis

Tracing his rise from prairie state rail-splitter to America's favorite president, this blend of history and humor will attempt to disentangle the man from the myth. Told from the perspective of Austin Gollaher, a childhood friend of Lincoln who once saved his life, Brian "Fox" Ellis steps into character to allow the listeners to step back in time. With several hours of Lincoln Tales to choose from, this book focuses on Lincoln's childhood. The original performance of this material was commissioned for the Sesquicentennial of Lincoln, Illinois, a town Lincoln surveyed and christened with a watermelon! Fox has since presented this performance at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and countless schools and libraries across the country. Please enjoy these delightful tales as told by Abraham Lincoln's best friend Austin Gollaher. The author, Brian "Fox" Ellis, presents hundreds of performances each year as one of several 'friends of Lincoln'. He performs at The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum and at the Old State Capitol in Springfield. The book is aimed to please Lincoln fans and add depth to the field of Lincoln research, it not only walks the line between entertainment and scholarship, it dances between these worlds with a lively lilt!
