Welcome to Episode 1: 8 Things About the Lincoln Family That I Think You Should Know! I cover the lives of Famous Americans Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln and discuss some of the more interesting things about them that I TOTALLY didn't learn in school. So, I you enjoy this one as much as I did, because I totally cried my eyes out every time I read about something sad!


I’m predicting an even more informal shift in episodes so bear with me…i’m still finding my podcasting voice and cadence!


Huzzah!
