Lincoln and family roots and the river disaster
An exposé blends a Lincoln biography with a river disaster tale. It recounts Lincoln’s early childhood, his mother Nancy Hanks Lincoln, stepmother Sally Johnston, and their influence on his life, alongside a grim account of the 1865 Ohio River collision with the United States and the Italian emigrant woman whose alleged curse framed the tragedy. The piece interweaves personal history with the maritime disaster, citing witnesses and anecdotes from the era.
