SW Ohio’s Tom Corwin: The Best Wit And Storyteller - Cincinnati Event

John J. Zimkus, the historian and education director of the Warren County Historical Society, will tell the story of one of the most distinguished statesmen Ohio ever produced, Thomas Corwin. Corwin's public service covered local, state and national positions. He was called "the greatest orator of his time" and was considered Washington's greatest wit. So much so that President Abraham Lincoln couldn't wait to tell acquaintances "Tom Corwin's latest." This talk will explore the wit and wisdom of the man who was called "The King of the Stump," Tom Corwin. Zimkus is the author of Historical Footnotes of Lebanon, Ohio, a book comprised of 29 stories that cover over 200 years of the historic past of the city of Lebanon. He is also the official historian at The Golden Lamb - Ohio's oldest inn.
