DESCRIPTION:
When Abraham Lincoln (Tom Amandes) is elected President, he brings only one friend to Washington: his banjo-playing, pistol-weilding law partner, Ward Hill Lamon (Lea Coco). When the first assassination attempt occurs in 1861, Lamon appoints himself the President's bodyguard. From this unique perspective, Lamon witnesses every aspect of Lincoln's fiery trial as Commander-in-Chief, soothing his tormented soul, and saving him from repeated attempts on his life. Lamon even introduces Lincoln at the Gettysburg Address. Lamon is not present on the fateful night at Ford's Theatre in 1865 because Lincoln sends him on a mission, yet it is Lamon who redefines that tragic event in a surprising and uplifting manner.
