Gerry Prokopowicz, host of Civil War Talk Radio, interviews Harold Holzer, author of “Brought Forth on this Continent: Abraham Lincoln and American Immigration.” The discussion is an hour long and Holzer gets into some interesting points about immigration and immigrant units from 160 years ago. Note that Holzer’s voice is a bit scratchy! Just click the “Play” button at the bottom.

Gerry Procopowicz’s book, ‘Did Lincoln Own Slaves?’ was superb! I loved how like Richard N. Current’s, ‘The Lincoln Nobody Knows’, and Kennel L. Jackson’s, ‘America Is Me’, it posed questions to the reader and tried to reckon with all pertinent evidence to them to answer them.
