Abraham Lincoln expert Steve Rogstad discusses his latest book "Lincoln Among the Badgers: Rediscovering Sites Associated with Abraham and Mary Lincoln in Wisconsin." In the book, Rogstad talks about various connections between the Lincolns and Wisconsin - the five visits that they made to the state (all separately; they never visited Wisconsin together) - and the many Lincoln statues in our state, including the statue found on the campus of Carthage College. We also hear about the circumstances under which President Lincoln made Thanksgiving a federal holiday.
