In 2008 Illinois and the nation commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Georgiann Baldino's book shows why the campaign has such enduring importance. In 1858 Lincoln began his campaign for the Illinois Senate seat by following Douglas around to take advantage of the crowds Douglas drew. The candidates wrangled for 21 hours on seven stages to gain support for differing views of America's future. The book is "a must for the amateur historian struggling to understand the significance of the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates. Baldino draws the reader into the narrative while giving an excellent accounting of why the debates were important and still are pertinent today."

Ms. Baldino has woven an intriguing and colorful tale based on the Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858. I'm an inveterate traveler and reading the book made me want to pack a suitcase and journey to Illinois to follow the trail marked by two of the finest orators in our history. If I can't make the actual trip, I have walked in their footsteps via the prose and pictures contained in the book. This is definitely a must-read for anyone who visits the Lincoln-Douglas itinerary but also for those who are unable to travel but who want to know more about the debates, and get a feel for the temperature, the tempo and the tempest that surrounded each of the speeches.

Meticulously researched and abundantly readable, Baldino’s take on this remarkable political journey brings the events of 1858 alive. Step into a bygone era and feel the power of classic public debate as Lincoln and Douglas barnstorm across the heartland!

Praise for Georgiann's fiction:

The Nursing Home Fugitive http://www.sminkworks.com

After the first half dozen lines, I was drawn into and fascinated by Clive’s flawed and imperfect mind and a scant few lines later, his confused but indomitable spirit. Then I was drawn into Arlene’s search for him. Georgiann Baldino has not just written outside the lines but has drawn completely new boundaries in a story, which will leave you thinking about questions and answers of your own long after you finish reading.
