Abraham Lincoln- and his use of new technology during the civil war - is the subject of this talk featuring Lincoln Scholar Harold Holzer and "Mr. Lincoln's T-Mails" author Tom Wheeler. Wheeler, a leader in the telecommunications industry, describes how Lincoln used the telegraph to observe the civil war and maintain authority over his generals. He also shares some of the telegrams with the audience and describes how he feels they convey a sense of Lincoln's personality. Holzer, author of the Lincoln Prize-winning "Lincoln at Cooper Union," discusses Lincoln's personal affinity for technology in both his personal and professional life.
