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.
