The Springfield Boys: Abraham Lincoln, Joshua Speed, and Billy Herndon

Three young men meet in Bells General Store in Springfield, IL in 1837. Abraham Lincoln will become the sixteenth President of the United States. Joshua Speed who shared a bed with Mr. Lincoln for four years, became his closest friend for life, and young and wild Billy Herndon became Lincoln's law partner. This riveting two-act drama deals with the relationship between the three men and how and why both the slave-owning Speed and abolitionist Herndon had a major impact on Mr. Lincoln's legacy. Filled with conflict, humor, passion, and irony. And oh yes, we also have the Springfield girls.
