Episode Synopsis

Stephen A. Douglas, candidate for Senate, passed through Elgin in 1858 after a debate in Freeport, IL against Abraham Lincoln.  If Douglas came through Elgin during his series of debates with Lincoln, does that mean Lincoln also came through Elgin? Let Abraham Lincoln SuperFan Mike Alft answer that question for you in this echo from February 12, 1984.
