Dennis Boggs presents an enlightening, informative, and educational look at the life of the 16th President as it might have been told by Abraham Lincoln himself. From Lincoln's birth in the wilderness of Kentucky to his early years in Indiana and Illinois... from storekeeper to self-taught lawyer and politician... through his years as President during the Civil War and his death at the hands of an assassin in Ford's Theater. Mr. Boggs has researched countless books and papers and has diligently designed a presentation that encompasses fifty-six years of Abraham Lincoln's life.

By clicking on the link below, you may also view Mr. Boggs in some footage that was filmed for the "140th Anniversary of the Battle of Shiloh Video" (an American Civil War battle that was originally fought in Shiloh, Tennessee in 1862). The footage begins with a brief clip on the battlefield, and then shortly proceeds to President Lincoln in the White House, writing a letter to Major General Henry Halleck. In the letter, President Lincoln is highly recommending him to let Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant lead an expedition into Tennessee, with the assurance that the President will give General Grant all of the support he needs. To view the video clip, click here.
