"This Dust Was Once A Man" is reconstructed from actual reports by Abraham Lincoln’s closest friends, relatives and political associates. It is the first in a series of three dramatic readings from "Where The Three Worlds Touch". Timely by being out of time, capturing events that happened 160 years ago, "This Dust Was Once A Man" does so with the humor, gentle kindness and homespun conscious humility of America’s greatest statesman Abraham Lincoln. Readers will re-experience the horror of a country sliding inexorably into civil war. Written for dramatic reading and performing on stage.
