News From President Lincoln's Cottage:

Cottage Conversation: Your Friend Forever, A. Lincoln:
The Enduring Friendship of Abraham Lincoln and Joshua Speed

On November 10, 2016, join us as author Charles Strozier and consulting public historian Susan Ferentinos discuss Strozier's book, Your Friend Forever, A. Lincoln: The Enduring Friendship of Abraham Lincoln and Joshua Speed.

Joshua Speed was arguably Lincoln's closest confidant. Their friendship added significant psychological depth to Lincoln's later decisions as husband, war leader, and president.

Strozier and Ferentinos will discuss Lincoln's lifelong friendship with Speed, and examine how male intimacy has been treated in our country during the Civil War, and over time.
