A Man for the Ages of Ascan and Lincoln in New Salem

A sweeping narrative blends fact and fiction to depict Abraham Lincoln during 1831 to 1837 at New Salem Illinois. It follows Samson Traylor and Sarah as they journey from Vergennes Vermont toward the land of plenty, detailing the couple’s bond, their children Betsey and Joe, and their dogs Sambo. The story paints frontier life, faith, and endurance through vivid scenes of travel, homely hospitality, and the memory of pioneers who shaped the American landscape.
