Thanks for joining the second and final part of the Hannibal Hamlin story. When we left off in part one, Senator Hamlin had risen from a small town in Maine to become one of the nation’s most powerful Senators. Now, with the country on the brink of Civil War, the country will need Hamlin’s character, voice and mind more than ever. Though even he could not imagine what his future and the future of his country would have in store. 

 So, sit back and enjoy the story’s conclusion in today’s episode of former United States Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. 

Many of us know the story of the assassination of American President Abraham Lincoln and the failure of his Vice President and successor, Andrew Johnson, the first American President to be impeached by Congress and to come within one vote of removal from office. 

Though many might not know the story of the man who was Vice President just one month earlier for Lincoln’s first term in office. A man wholly different in character and values that almost surely would have set the course of American history on very different path. So, sit back and enjoy the story and the focus of today’s episode – former United States Vice President, Hannibal Hamlin.   

Thanks for joining us for the second and final part of the Eunice Carter story. When we left off in Part 1, Carter’s unprecedented rise to a seemingly unimaginable role on Thomas Dewey’s team of criminal prosecutors made her a household name across America. 

Now, Carter’s courage and tenacity will be tested as she takes on the most dangerous mob boss in the country. Despite being surrounded by an entire team of brilliant legal minds, it will be Carter’s intuition and intelligence that Dewey will need most of all if they are to stop the underworld from continuing its reign of terror across New York City.

So sit back and enjoy the conclusion of today’s episode, New York City Prosecutor, Eunice Hunton Carter. 

Many of us know the stories of famous criminals like Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde or the famous lawmen who helped bring them to justice. Though many might not know the story of the lawyer who was most responsible for brining down the most powerful mob boss in the world, Lucky Luciano, making the streets of New York safer and nearly propelling her boss to the American Presidency. This story would be remarkable regardless of who it was about, but because this particular lawyer was one of the only black female lawyers in 1930s America, her story is one of the most remarkable of them all. 

So sit back and enjoy the story and the focus of today’s episode, New York City Prosecutor, Eunice Hunton Carter. 

Thanks for joining us for the second and final part of the Nancy Wake story. When we left off in part one, Wake had traveled an unlikely path to becoming a wealthy socialite in France and an even unlikelier path as a leader in the French and British resistance efforts in World War II. 

Now, as the stakes increase, Wake will have to make difficult choices that will put her in even greater danger but will see her legend grow and her contributions to the Allied war effort become legendary. 

So sit back and enjoy the conclusion of today’s episode, World War II spy, Nancy Wake.

Many of us know the stories of World War II heroes. Leaders like Winston Churchill and FDR or soldiers from books and shows like Band of Brothers. Though many might not know the story of the war’s most decorated woman who the Nazis despised so much they had codenamed her the White Mouse because of her inexplicable elusiveness. The Nazis did everything they could to find her and stop the havoc she was wreaking, but they had no idea who they were up against, in every sense of that phrase.   

So sit back and enjoy the story and the focus of today’s episode, World War II spy, Nancy Wake. 

Thanks for joining us for the second and final part of the Thomas Nast story. When we left off in Part one, Nast was coming into his own as a famous sketch artist covering America’s Civil War.

So sit back and enjoy the conclusion of today’s episode, Political Cartoonist Thomas Nast.

Many of us know the stories of Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. Or the images of political symbols like the Republican elephant or Democratic donkey. Though many might not know of the artist and political cartoonist who created the latter and help elect the former all while being most responsible for taking on and taking down the most corrupt politician in New York City’s history and even finding time to create the modern image of Santa Claus.

So sit back and enjoy the story and the focus of today’s episode, Political Cartoonist Thomas Nast. 

Thanks for joining us for the second and final part of the John Pershing story. When we left off in Part 1, General Pershing was chasing feared rebel Pancho Villa throughout the Mexican countryside while the rest of the world was at war. 

 Now, all of Pershing’s experience and leadership will be called upon as a reluctant America gets drawn into World War 1 and he is asked to help overhaul a military that is not ready but is so desperately needed. All while he continues to endure the incompressible loss of his own family. 

 So sit back and enjoy the conclusion of today’s episode, General of the Armies John J. Pershing,
