The process for rolling out my new book, Lincoln in New England: In Search of His Forgotten Tours continues. I previously shared an article that was published in the For the People newsletter of the Abraham Lincoln Association based in Springfield, Illinois. Today I’m sharing my article published in the Lincoln Forum Bulletin, which comes out twice a year. This one revisited a letter Lincoln wrote to his wife from New Hampshire in 1860, in which he complained about how he had been “unable to escape this toil” of giving a dozen speeches over two weeks in New England. Here is the article as published (continues on the bottom of the second page):
This is one of several articles I have written that have already or will soon appear in various media outlets. I continue to write for other venues that will appear at some point in 2026. Meanwhile, I continue to schedule presentations and interviews for around the time the book comes out in March 2026, so feel free to contact me if you would like me to speak to your organization, either in person or via Zoom.
Coming in March 2026: Lincoln in New England: In Search of His Forgotten Tours
