"A Presidential Love Story" tells the story of Honest Abe's formative years. We learn of his remarkable boyhood character from these early tales and his early political days, excerpted from Norman Corwin's "The Rivalry." The second half of the program tells the love story between young Lincoln and Ann Rutlidge, his fiancee who died of tuberculosis at the age of nineteen.
