Steven Rogstad returns with another chapter in the lives of Abraham and Mary Lincoln. Was Abraham Lincoln a Christian or a spirit rapper? How did his interest in the supernatural and séances relate to his religious beliefs? How did it affect his judgement as Chief Executive of the nation during its greatest crisis? This lecture focuses on Lincoln's attendance at spiritualistic séances and sessions with psychic mediums in the White House and private residences around Washington. Did you know that Lincoln sat on top of a levitating piano? Made possible by funding from The John and Hilda Holden Memorial Fund, The Kohler Foundation, Wisconsin Humanities Council.
