A Man for the Ages Harper story about Samson and Abe Lincoln era debates
Samson confronts Mr. Davis over a five thousand dollar note and the Kelso debt. He visits Mrs. Kelso and learns of Marty’s death hoax while Lincoln and Douglas argue in a Springfield political circle. The scene shifts to Josiah Lamb as a budding lawyer, with Lincoln imparting Choate’s view on law and revolution and urging character over rhetoric. Samson plans action against Davis and prepares for a legal move after meeting Harry Needles.
