Part of #336: the first of the history series. - **Sample** `publicity/video/samples/lincoln.mjs` → `lincoln.ochx`: Lincoln's life, 1809–1865, in 126 moments (7 chapter headings), 38 durations (homes, offices, partnerships, family, campaigns, the war) and 40 relationships. Every entry has a note and its Wikipedia article, with primary references where natural (the Collected Works, the Lincoln Log, the National Archives, the Library of Congress, NPS). Gregorian at a fixed UTC−05:00, so the night of 14–15 April reads 22:15 and 07:22; approximate dates carry a dating note. Published at https://timescale.info/athan/abraham-lincoln. - **Video 14** `publicity/14-tour-abraham-lincoln.md` and `publicity/video/14-tour-abraham-lincoln/`: a 3:50 tour in the Archive look — the whole life, where he lived, the frontier, New Salem, family, the five years away from politics, the House Divided speech in the reader, the debates, the war and the slavery thread, 1862–65, and the night at Ford's Theatre. - **Short 11** `publicity/shorts/11-1503-days.md` and `publicity/video/s11-1503-days/`: "Lincoln was president 1,503 days" — the war took 1,458 of them; 39 days before Fort Sumter, 6 after Appomattox (0:35). - Indexes updated (series tables, READMEs, the video README's table and counts). Narration is the scratch Kokoro voice, as for the other videos.
