Lech Lenahan came from a warring family…though the last of the clan had long since left Ireland; he inherited the family loss of land, its income and a way of life… taken by Cromwell, England’s bloodiest, most cruel soldier, given to others because they were Protestant.

His grand-father and father had taught him the value of freedom from the time he was old enough to know…his choice to fight for it in the great Civil War was a natural reaction, waiting to happen.

It mattered not that Leck Lenahan had never seen the Emerald Isle, neither had he seen the flu but he knew well the pain of it.

The Other Side of Lincoln, is the heartwarming story of the love and determination of Leck Lenahan…to strike a blow for freedom…though he had no slaves, he knew well the pain of being forced from family, from land handed down from generation, and made to migrate to a country belonging to Native Americans.

The Other Side of Lincoln takes you on the soldier’s journey as a member of a crack unit, guarding a presidential candidate to becoming a spy collecting valuable information for the Union Army, including the capture of John Brown at Harper’s Ferry. Follow Lenahan after the war as he is mistakenly sought by the military as a member of Quantrill’s Raiders only to become a lawman and help settle the west, build a railhead town, marry a beautiful widow, and live to an old age to tell stories into the 20th century.
