President Abraham Lincoln has just made Ulysses S. Grant general-in-chief of the Union Army. Grant will hold the rank of Lieutenant General. In this presentation President Lincoln will discuss the reasons for the selection of General Grant. He will also give us his views on some of the other candidates for the position such as General George G. Meade and General Henry Halleck as well as others who have held leading roles in the Union Army like General Winfield Scott and General George McClellan. President Lincoln will be available for questions on the Grant appointment as well as other topics related to his Presidency.
George Buss as Abraham Lincoln
As Lincoln said about himself, so too, George “is 6 foot 4 inches tall, nearly and weighs between 160 and 180 pounds.” George Buss is a 6th generation Illinoisan who, for the past 30 years, has interpreted Abraham Lincoln for thousands of audiences across the United States to critical acclaim including C-Span, Lincoln Forum, Mariners Museum and American Queen Steamship Co. George was asked to give the Gettysburg Address for the National Commemoration at Gettysburg in 2015. Since then he was asked to appear at Gettysburg annually. (In fact, he will be in Gettysburg the day after he does his North Texas Round Table tour.) Jack Waugh has known George for over 20 years and has been with him at many events and tours. Jack’s comment on George: “He is the best. You will not be disappointed.”
