Tonight’s talk and conversation will focus on press and politics in the age of Abraham Lincoln, including Lincoln’s dabbling in journalism, and his use of political patronage to secure and maintain press support. Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer, author, co-author or editor of over 40 books will join in discussion with Newseum journalist Frank Bond. The topics will include the publishing giants who dominated Civil War journalism. A book signing will follow the program.
The speakers were introduced by Donna Garland, Chief Strategy and Communications Officer, National Archives and Records Administration.
