Show #627: FARMLANDS OF LINCOLN
Guest: History Professor Kurt W. Peterson from North Park University
Subject: Abraham Lincoln spent his first 21 years on the dirt-poor farmlands of the young nation’s frontier. His upbringing leads us to ask: How did the farm shape the character?
Topics include a look at the poor childhood of the nation’s 16th President; what impact those tough times had on the development of Lincoln’s character; and what impact, if any, Lincoln’s character had on the development of the United States.
