Lew Wallace lived perhaps one of the most impressive lives of the late 19th century. He held several prestigious titles including New Mexico territorial governor, Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, and Union Army General, and he served as a military judge at the trial of Abraham Lincoln’s assassins. He also wrote "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ," which has been called the most influential book of the 19th century. After a life of great success, Wallace died in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on February 15th, 1905. Nick Walters, director of the Center for Christian History, talks with Thomas Meeks of the Wallace Museum about the life and times of this fascinating figure.
