Chasing Abraham Lincoln is now on YouTube

Abraham Lincoln is everywhere it seems. And now he’s on YouTube.

For those that follow me on my Facebook author page, I posted a series of videos from my recent Chasing Abraham Lincoln tour of Illinois. At each of the seven Lincoln-Douglas debate sites I showed the monument – usually some sort of statue of the two debaters – and talked a little about the history of the site and the debates. Here’s just one example:

In addition to the seven debate sites I did a few other videos. I’ll be posting additional videos from this and past trips, plus will be creating “on the road” videos on future tours. In the future I’ll also be producing a series of videocasts on Abraham Lincoln-related topics; the intention is to create an informative and entertaining series on Lincoln’s life and the lessons we can learn from him.

So bookmark and/or subscribe to the YouTube page and check back periodically for new videos. Check out my Goodreads author page. While you’re at it, “Like” my Facebook author page for more updates!

Nikola Tesla Style – Video

Tesla: The Wizard of ElectricityWho says Nikola Tesla isn’t cool. (Actually, no one says that)

One of the wonders of Facebook and YouTube is the ability to connect with other people that have the same interests as you do. One Facebook group is called Tesla’s Ambassadors, and I am proud to say that I am a member. Its founder is, not surprisingly, Niko Tesla, and the group has over 7000 members worldwide.

In addition to all the other great information about Nikola Tesla, this video has been getting a lot of attention. Called “Nikola Tesla Style,” it is a rap video written and performed by Benjamin Yi. The video was mixed by Niko Tesla for Tesla’s Ambassadors on FB.

To quote Monty Python – And now for something completely different…enjoy!

More information on Tesla’s Ambassadors can be found on the Facebook page (click on the name). The group is “here to honour and respect the achievements of the great genius Nikola Tesla. Over time his legacy to us has remained intact and ever more important. Nikola Tesla was so far ahead of his time, that not even scientists today can understand all of his work.”

Tesla’s story is so fascinating that I wrote a book about him. More on Tesla: The Wizard of Electricity.

Thanks to Niko Tesla, Tesla’s Ambassadors, and all others who are helping to bring the Nikola Tesla name to present and future generations.
