Saving Lincoln backdrop

Saving Lincoln 2013 Directed by Salvador Litvak

The true story of an epic friendship.

The almost entirely true story of Abraham Lincoln and his self-appointed bodyguard, U.S. Marshal Ward Hill Lamon - a banjo-playing Southerner who foiled repeated attempts on the President's life, and kept him functioning during the darkest hours of the Civil War.
