New to the site? Check out the blog for "165 years ago" weekly videos focusing on 1859 & the lead-up to the Civil War, as well as other history-related information. "Manhunt" on Apple TV+ has dropped; the recap for episode one is below. I'm also proud to announce my first spotlight videos (a two-part series) on the Lincoln Home National Historic Site in Springfield, Illinois, which you can also view below. These go beyond just talking about what's in the home, and gives useful background to help one imagine what life was like for Abraham, Mary, & their children.
