Important The 2017 ALP Conference Committee is very mindful that this conference will be a little pricier than the last couple of conferences. Most full service hotels charge more than $125 per night. We are getting a very good deal at $100 a night including tax. April is the season for weddings and horse racing at Keeneland. Meals at the hotel require a 24% service fee on top of the cost of the meal. The Association must also meet a $3,500 food and beverage charge in order to receive free meeting and conference rooms. The committee had a long meeting with the hotel caterer and we believe we have gotten a good variety and the best prices we can for the meals. The committee continues to work to find sponsorships for this event to pay for buses, speakers and entertainment. 2.

Roger Billings – Book ($28.00) The Legal Career of America’s Greatest President. This work is a comprehensive and very readable presentation of the newest area of research on Lincoln. The chapter on Lincoln’s legal ethics is amusing and a little startling. In all, the best writers concerning Lincoln’s legal career are represented. . Kent Masterson Brown – Videos ($19.95 each) Lincoln’s in Kentucky. The Lincolns in Kentucky chronicles the years Abraham Lincoln’s family spent in Kentucky. The story follows Captain Abraham Lincoln (President Lincoln’s grandfather) and his family’s settlement in Kentucky in 1781. And the hardship and loss Thomas Lincoln and his wife, Nancy Hanks, suffered due to disease and death while living and raising a family. In the end, the Lincolns moved to Indiana because they lost all their lands in Kentucky. Henry Clay and the Struggle for the Union – This video explores the turbulent forty years leading up to the Civil War. It is the first document ever produced on Henry Clay in Kentucky, the most dominant public figure in the formulation of the compromises in 1820, 1833 and 1850. The production examines the impact of slavery on the expansion of the nation westward and how conflict between North and South , free states and slave states, was, in the end, irrepressible. Stuart Sanders – E‐Book, Available on Amazon.Com – Kindle version $2.99 Emilie Todd Helm, Lincoln’s Confederate “Little Sister” The true story of President Abraham Lincoln’s Confederate sister‐in‐law, Emilie Todd Helm, and her visit to the White House as a rebel widow during the American Civil War.
