[History Hounds] Lincoln’s Kalamazoo Visit: Shocking New Discoveries with Tom George, M.D., Vice-President of the Kalamazoo Abraham Lincoln Institute

On August 27, 1856, Abraham Lincoln made what would be his only trip to Michigan. He came to speak at a campaign rally for Republican presidential candidate John Fremont. The text of Lincoln's speech was found by researchers in the 1930s. In this presentation, former HSM president Tom George will reveal what modern research has uncovered related to Lincoln's visit.
