LINCOLN’S INAUGURATION

The unfinished dome of the Capitol, as it looked at the time of Lincoln’s first inauguration in March, 1861.

In which we look at Abraham Lincoln’s inaugural journey from Illinois to Washington, D.C. and then his inauguration as the sixteenth President of the United States on March 4, 1861. Plus, we learn that the podcast is a team effort and that there’s no ‘I’ in Civil War.

Our book recommendation for this episode is Seward: Lincoln’s Indispensable Man by Walter Stahr

“This magnificent biography finally provides what William Henry Seward so justly deserves- a full, terrific and complex portrait of his endlessly fascinating life.” ~ Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals
