Author Talk: Jan Jacobi

Field House Museum

Join us at the Field House Museum on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM for a compelling Author Talk with Jan Jacobi, as he presents his latest work, Lincoln and Douglas. This gripping narrative begins in 1849, as Abraham Lincoln—believing his political career to be over—returns to law practice, while his longtime friend and rising star Stephen Douglas continues his ascent in American politics.
Jacobi explores how Lincoln, the quiet and determined “tortoise,” emerges from Douglas’s shadow to become one of the nation’s greatest leaders. Through the lens of their fierce rivalry—particularly over the issue of slavery—Lincoln and Douglas brings to life a defining era in U.S. history and the resilience that carried Lincoln to the presidency.

Don’t miss this insightful look at character, conviction, and political transformation.
This program is free with limited availability in person and on Zoom. Reservations must be made in advance on our website, by calling the Museum at 314-421-4689, or by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
