11. The Process
“When I approach each story, I figure out how many
days to allot to it. Some tales are simple moments that
only need a week to relate (sometimes I combine
related moments into one story, if they're brief
enough), while others need a week or two to unfold.
I figure out the main points and then write the tweets
so that each day is another beat in the story.
I send the completed story to Nina so she can review it
and make any necessary changes, which are typically
minimal. Then I stage the tweets for publication in
HootSuite and move on to the next one.”

13. Sources
“I rely on several sources
as I imagine Ward Hill Lamon
reflecting on his days with
Abraham Lincoln.
Recollections of Abraham
Lincoln, which Lamon wrote
(it was edited and published
by his daughter after his
death), and Lincoln and
Lamon: Partners and Friends,
by Clint Clay Tilton, are two
primary books that I use. We
even obtained a photocopy of
a 1949 doctoral thesis about
Lamon that's only available
from a library in Illinois.”
14. Messages
“I check the Twitter feed daily for interesting
direct messages and tweets aimed at Lamon. Many
people have discovered that if they communicate
with Lamon, he responds. For example, if someone
mentions John Wilkes Booth, Lamon notes that had he
been at Ford's Theater, he ‘would have shot that devil
'twixt his yellow eyes.’ or...”
Messaging Tips
• Reply In Lamon's Voice,
• After Story Tweets Sent
• Keeps Stream Clean
• Frame Responses How
Lamon Believes Lincoln
Would Have Responded
• Don't Mention Movie
Unless Asked
15. Retweets
“While Lamon's one-off observational tweets have
been good fodder for retweets, the story tweets have
often been retweeted and favorited too, particularly
if they contain interesting information. For example,
a tweet about the battle of Antietam and the
staggering casualties there garnered six retweets,
which is very good for us.”
16. Favorites
“My favorite tweets are the ones where Lamon
makes an observation that exposes the heart of the
Saving Lincoln story, which is the idea that Lincoln
was fated to be assassinated, whether by Booth or
someone else. For example, one story in which
Lamon relates several attempts on Lincoln's life ends
with these three tweets...”
In later years, I often found myself imagining a wiser and
grayer Mr. Lincoln sitting by my side, sharing stories of old.
"Hill," he would say, "do you recall the evening my $8 plug
hat was blown clean off my head by an assailant's bullet?"
I would say I did, and I would laugh with Mr. Lincoln at the
memory. And I would have another sip of whiskey in his honor.
