Book Signing with Larry Tagg; The Unpopular Mr. Lincoln: Today, Abraham Lincoln is a beloved
American icon, widely considered to be our best president. It
was not always so. Larry Tagg's The Unpopular Mr. Lincoln is
the first study of its kind to concentrate on what Lincoln's
contemporaries actually thought of him during his lifetime. Be
forewarned: your preconceived notions are about to be shattered.
Boisterous and venomous enough to be good entertainment, The
Unpopular Mr. Lincoln rests upon a Lincoln's humanity has been
unintentionally trivialized by some historians and writers who
have hidden away the real man in a patina of bronze. Once readers
learn the truth of how others viewed him, they will better understand
the man he was, and how history is better viewed through a long-distance
lens than contemporaneously.
About the Author: Born in Lincoln, Illinois, Larry Tagg graduated
from the University of Texas at Austin. A bass player/singer
of world renown, Larry co-founded and enjoyed substantial commercial
success with "Bourgeois Tagg" in the mid-1980s. He
went on to play bass for Todd Rundgren, Heart, Hall and Oates,
and other acts.
He currently teaches high school English and drama in Sacramento,
California. Larry is the author of the bestselling book The Generals
of Gettysburg, a selection of the Military Book Club.
