      Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865)

Lincoln was largely self-taught, gaining much of his education from 
reading such books as the King James Bible, John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s
Progress, Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, Aesop’s Fables, and the 
Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. 

Lincoln once said, characteristically, “I am sorry for the man who
can’t feel the whip when it is laid on the other man’s back.”

The serial came to WOR radio as a syndicated show and went to Mutual on
August 31, 1942, airing until March 1, 1951 on ABC.

The biographical movie about the famous rock singer Elvis Presley
starred Kurt Russell, Shelley Winters, and Bing Russell. The movie
aired less than 18 months on ABC after the singer’s shocking death
at the age of 42 and propelled former Disney lead actor Kurt Russell
to adult stardom.
