Saturday, June 14th at 11am Gabriel Sahd portrays Abe Lincoln in "The Making Of A President." Abraham Lincoln reminisces on his life, from the time of his birth until he was elected President of the United States. He experienced many tribulations as his family moved from frontier farm to frontier farm in the mid-west. As a young adult, he settled in New Salem, Illinois, penniless. He struggled to earn his livelihood, going from job to job. Soon, though, he entered politics and became a state legislator. In that position, he gained fame as a politician and a lawyer, not only within his state, but also at the national level, going on to lead the country during one of its most challenging times.
