Brian “Fox” Ellis
Lincoln Tales Tall and True
Tracing his rise from Prairie State rail-splitter to America’s favorite president, this blend of history and humor will attempt to disentangle Lincoln the man from the myth. Told from the perspective of Austin Gullaher, a childhood friend of Lincoln who once saved his life, Brian "Fox" Ellis steps into character to allow the listeners to step back in time and into the life of this remarkable American president, hero and legend.
