Cincinnati historian Chris Burns will present his talk during the Civil War weekend event.

Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant knew each other personally for only 13 months before Lincoln was assassinated. But in that perilous time, the nation’s soul and future was at stake. The two westerners thought alike, both matured greatly and fervently enjoyed each other’s company. This story unveils that alliance, which forged a friendship and eventually won the war.
