We are sponsored again this week by Simon and Schuster, publishers of Lincoln on the

Verge, 13 days to Washington by Ted Widmer, which is available now.

Ron Churnow, author of acclaimed biographies about Alexander Hamilton and Ulysses S. Grant,

Lincoln on the Verge is available now.

If your local book store is temporarily closed, try ordering it online or at bn.com or Amazon,

also available as a downloadable e-book and audio book.
