Chicago Author Series: Six Degrees of Abraham Lincoln: Searching Out Lesser-Known Connections in Northern Illinois 

Abraham Lincoln’s life in Springfield is well-documented, but his ties to the suburbs may surprise you. Kate Gingold uses the Six Degrees of Separation theory to share lesser-known, interesting facts about our sixteenth president in Chicagoland.

Kate Gingold writes about marketing during the day, but history is her passion. Kate’s first book, Ruth by Lake and Prairie, was honored by the Illinois State Historical Society. More history books followed, including her latest, an Agatha Christie glossary.
