Overview

Hilarity, heartbreak, humanity, and brilliant speeches abound as Abraham Lincoln traces his amazing journey from a log cabin to the White House. Learn about his Indiana youth (age 7-21) where frontier life was precarious, disease a constant companion, and death a hovering presence. He worked side by side with his father, mourned the loss of family members, read the books that opened his mind, and developed a determination of spirit coupled with deep compassion for all people. With only meager schooling, our 16th president became a master of the English language, a lawyer of the highest standing and ability, a nationally known debater and orator, and one of the world's greatest statesmen.

Great program

We had “Abraham Lincoln” at our gathering today. He made a remarkable presentation to our kids. As a homeschool group, we’re very diverse and have a variety of ages. He kept them engaged involved and interested. Would have him back again.

An Amazing Experience

He completely captivated our older audience here at Westminster. It was truly a delight. If you're uncertain on whether to book him or not -- do it! It'll change your perspective on history.

Great with my Classes and Students

Danny was a guest speaker in my 8th grade American History classes. He presented Lincoln's story 7 times in one day. Each presentation was 45 minutes long. Every presentation had the same high energy. He expertly dealt with all types of students from eager to learn students to sleeping students. His presentation went from Lincoln's childhood all the way to the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th amendment. Ste students enjoyed him. I'll definitely be inviting him again next year!

Lincoln Reagan Dinner

His performance was spot on, engaging, professional, as well as personal. People enjoyed the performance and being able to take a picture with Abraham Lincoln during our annual Republican Party Lincoln Reagan Dinner! Definitely the highlight of the evening!

Good Job

Our Family get-together ranges in ages from 4 years to 94 years. A tough audience to keep engaged for 30-45 minutes. Abe Lincoln's fast paced monolog kept the attention with history and humor interspersed. We liked Abe Lincoln.
