- Description
- Episode Description
- "Nancy Hanks," richly documented with authentic locations, properties, and costumes of the period, records the hard life experienced by the American backwoods family in the early 1800s. Centered around the Lincoln family in particular, the film reveals how this primitive environment placed a premium on relationships within the family itself. Young Abe Lincoln - extremely close to his mother, crushed by her death - slowly allows his stepmother, Sally Bush Lincoln, to fill the void left by the death of Nancy Hanks Lincoln.

- Series Description
- This series consists of 23 films from the Omnibus series and is a gift from the Ford Foundation's TV-Radio Workshop. The subject material of the series is varied but basically the viewer of "American Album" leafs through random film comments and portraits on interesting people and places and things American. Films range in time length from eight minutes to thirty-three minutes and have been arranged into 15 episodes originally recorded on film. These include five films on the life of Lincoln, a number of outstanding films in the arts and literature and a group of films on people ranging from "A Maine Lobsterman" to "Boyhoods: Joseph N. Welch" and "Raymond Loewy." (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
