The Pine River Library will host the Chautauqua Presentation: "Lincoln Tales - Tall and True, with Austin Gollaher" at 11:30 on Thursday, September 4th.
Details are at prlibrary.org.

Austin Gollaher was born in Kentucky in 1807, making him two years older than his childhood friend, Abraham Lincoln. Gollaher saved Lincoln’s life when Lincoln was seven, so if not for him, Lincoln would have never been president! The Gollaher family also settled in New Salem, Illinois just a few years before Abraham arrived. Tracing his youth in Kentucky through his education in Indiana and early days in Illinois this blend of history and storytelling will give the audience a “best friend’s” view on Lincoln’s youth.
