Historical Society invites the public to Lincoln:
The Man, The Myth, The Legend,
a dinner lecture presented by Rick
Klinedinst,
exploring the many myths and conflicting stories
about the events that took place during
Lincoln’s Lifetime.

death just days before his assassination? Were
bankers behind his assassination? Did he really
consider using elephants in the Civil War? Are
there hidden messages at his memorial in

along with other myths, truths, and
misrepresentations about Lincoln throughout
history.
