On September 22, Jim Getty is going to recreate Lincoln's speech at Tremont Temple in Boston where William Seward also spoke. Of course Seward was a lot better known and his address received a lot more coverage. Bill Hanna will introduce Jim Getty and provide some background about the trip.
Tom,
Thanks for the information. I will have to put this one on my reading list. I wonder if this event will be broadcast on C-Span? One of my favorite books on Lincoln's later visit to New England is
Abraham Lincoln in New Hampshire by Elwin Page. Although dated there is some good material in that book.
