A renowned Abraham Lincoln scholar will dispel 10 common misconceptions about the former president in an event hosted by the history department Tuesday night.
Associate Professor Steven Woodworth said speaker Allen Guelzo's talk is titled "Ten Lies about Lincoln," and it will take place at 7 p.m. in Palko Hall.
Guelzo is the leading scholar on Lincoln and one of the nation's top scholars on the Civil War, Woodworth said.
The event will happen within a week of the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's election to the presidency in 1860, but it is only a coincidence.
