Fellow living historian, Dave Tennies, portrays Civil War era US Senator Jacob ("Honest Jake") Howard of Michigan. Howard is credited with working closely with Abraham Lincoln in drafting and passing the US Constitution's Thirteenth Amendment which abolished slavery.
Dave does a wonderful presentation of Senator Howard. His love of Civil War (indeed American) history is well evident, as is his deep study of the good Senator.
Note that no politician today are called "Honest"... hmmmm...
