Publisher's Synopsis
Three young men meet in Bells General Store in Springfield, IL in 1837. Abraham Lincoln will become the sixteenth President of the United States. Joshua Speed who shared a bed with Mr. Lincoln for four years, became his closest friend for life, and young and wild Billy Herndon became Lincoln's law partner. This riveting two-act drama deals with the relationship between the three men and how and why both the slave-owning Speed and abolitionist Herndon had a major impact on Mr. Lincoln's legacy. Filled with conflict, humor, passion, and irony. And oh yes, we also have the Springfield girls.
