"His Greatest Speeches: How Lincoln Moved the Nation."

Most people know the historical Lincoln; few know the rhetorical Lincoln. With little formal schooling Lincoln passes the Illinois Bar Exam, becomes a great and successful lawyer, and becomes our greatest President. Dr. Ed Dwyer joins us for a discussion of Diane Schaub’s book and an exploration into one of the best non-fiction writers of our time in works including "The Lyceum Address," "The Gettysburg Address," and "The Second Inaugural Address."
