LINCOLN'S LEGACY: MONEY OF THE CIVIL WAR

At last month's PAN Show Abe Lincoln Interpreter Dennis Boggs teamed up with Rick Lank and Becky Rush for a program on "Abe Lincoln's Legacy: Money Matters of the Civil War™" I was already on the road home and missed the event, but Rick kindly forwarded several photos. Here they are with some text from the earlier article announcing the event. Those of us who missed it can look forward to the video by David Lisot on the Newman Numismatic Portal. -Editor

This special Living History Program couples an established Abe Lincoln Interpreter with Co-Authors of the recently released book, Minting, Printing & Counterfeiting in the Civil War.

According to Mr. McBride, Secretary of PAN and himself a highly-regarded living history interpreter representing statesman Benjamin Franklin,

"This is one of the first times PAN has leveraged the expertise of authors like Lank and Rush with our celebrity guest and living historian Abe Lincoln to produce an interactive program. This program will be great for kids...and as America's 160th anniversary of the Civil War begins in 2021 and runs through 2025, we intend to do even more programs about Abe Lincoln's Legacy: Money Matters of the Civil War."
