Book Vault

Dr. Rietveld will be at the Book Vault Saturday, November 5, 10am-Noon in downtown Oskaloosa.

Ronald Rietveld, retired professor of history at California State University-Fullerton, has been a student of Lincoln since the age of fourteen, when he discovered the last photograph of Lincoln in 1952 in the Nicolay papers of the Illinois State Historical Library.

From 1981 to 1984, he served as an Academic Advisor to the White House Speech-writing Staff under President Ronald Reagan and has lectured and written extensively on Lincoln and the Civil War.

Ron served as a member of the Historical Advisory and Content Team for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois.
Ron and his wife, Ruth, divide their time between homes in Fullerton, CA and Pella.
