A seven-time grant recipient honored by the Indiana Arts Commission for outstanding theatrical achievement, Russel fully embodies Lincoln’s amazing journey from a log cabin to the White House.

Hilarity, heartbreak and humanity abound during those formative boyhood years in southern Indiana (age 7-21), his numerous business failures, years as a prairie lawyer, life with Mary and their sons, political aspirations, Civil War tragedy and triumph, brilliant speeches, and ultimate freedom for slaves. “Abraham Lincoln: Hoosier Hero” is a fascinating panoply of uproarious comedy, tearful reminiscence, political intrigue and always insightful commentary on the human condition.

Speeches, stories, Civil War history, life of Lincoln. The remarkable story of Abraham Lincoln, who overcame poverty and little formal education, to lead our country through its worst struggle, is a story that deserves to be retold.

J.P. Wammack has been in the life insurance business for 28 years with Northwestern Mutual. He has a Degree in history from UCLA. He is a lifelong Civil War buff having read 100 books on the subject. He enjoys exploring Civil War battlefields and has been known to drive 1000 miles out of his way to do so.

I have been performing as Abraham Lincoln since 2005. Attired in authentic clothing, my delivery is finely tuned to give close approximation to how Lincoln sounded, and I only use verified source material for the programs.

I have performed for historical societies, schools, Civil War events, and the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center; please see my website for more details.

A Life Member of the ALP, I served as co-chair of the Connecticut Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission. It was a high honor for me to participate in the commissioning events of the USS ILLINOIS submarine in 2016.
