Book Description
Nineteen year old Abraham Lincoln has, unknown to himself, been living in present day Chicago. Alan (Ruby) Gentry, an agent for TEMPUS, an obscure government agency, brought him here in a time machine because he was about to die. Now, after Lincoln learns he is in the future, he is transported back 1828. Gentry visits him again in 1860, the night he is elected president. Then, as Gentry attempts to return to the present, he is accidentally stranded in Chicago in 1867. He makes a life there for many years, until he is caught in the Great Fire of 1871.
About the Author
Mel Rabinowitz is a New Yorker, born, raised and educated. He and his wife, Joyce, have an apartment in Manhattan, and have been teaching in the New York City public school system for over thirty years. Since they get to share long summer vacations, they have taken advantage of this and have used every one of those summers, since 1967, to travel extensively throughout the world. When their daughter, Naomi, was born, she traveled with them. They have climbed mountains in France, Turkey and Peru, visited with Bedouins in Morocco, and trekked in the jungles of Southeast Asia, and Meso and South America. Mr. Rabinowitz is a skilled amateur photographer and cyclist, and a not so skilled amateur guitarist and pianist. This is his second book.
