A long narrative traces Abraham Lincoln in New Salem and Vandalia, with Sampson Traytor and Bowlin Green as key friends. It portrays Lincoln's courtship with Ann Rutledge, illness, and personal loss, culminating in his moral choice against pro slavery pressures during a decisive 1850s political fork, setting the stage for his later rise.

Oratorio’s Rise From Church to Open Air Drama

The piece traces how early church services used semi dramatic readings to enliven scripture, evolving into open air performances with increased actors. It notes a shift to profane elements, then the oratorio as a sacred prayer room, and cites Congressman Appleby’s push to recognize the Star Spangled Banner as a national anthem at sessions. It also profiles Miss Adeline Dawson of Mason City who recently reached high C in Los Angeles.
