Knox College’s Lincoln Studies Center is always striving to preserve the life and work of President Abraham Lincoln.
This year the center’s fall lecture is featured by a man whose knowledge of Lincoln has been well documented between receiving the Lincoln Prize for non-fiction writing on the Civil War and is the chair of Lincoln Studies at the University of Illinois Springfield.
Michael Burlingame will deliver a talk at the Alumni Room in Old Main, tomorrow at 4 p.m.
Douglas L. Wilson, co-director of Knox’s Lincoln Studies Center and also a Lincoln Prize recepient has high praise for Burlinggame
He called Burlingame’s book, “Lincoln and the Civil War” “the most deeply researched and detailed biography of Abraham Lincoln ever written.”
The setting is also wildly appropriate being that Old Main is the only existing site of the senatorial debates between Lincoln and Stephen Douglas.
