June Program
THE UNPOPULAR MR. LINCOLN By Larry Tagg
Abraham Lincoln
On Wednesday June 17, 2009 at 7:30 pm the SDCWRT will hold its 274th meeting at Palisades Presbyterian Church, 6301 Birchwood St. San Diego, CA 92120.
“The most revered American president was, during his four years in office, the most reviled. The story of Abraham Lincoln’s presidency is a classic underdog story: a review of Civil War diaries, letters, editorials and recollected remarks reveals an intensity of venom toward Lincoln that is startling, even to a modern reader steeped in the political milieu of Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh.”
Larry Tagg was born in Lincoln, Illinois; he graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. A bass player/singer of world renown, and was co-founded and enjoyed substantial commercial success with “Bourgeois Tagg” in the mid-1980s. He went on to play bass for Todd Rundgren, Hall and Oates, and other acts. He currently teaches high school English and drama in Sacramento, California. Larry’s latest book is The Unpopular Mr. Lincoln. He is also the author of The Generals of Gettysburg, a selection of the Military Book Club.
