Listen "Joseph D. Collea, Jr.: New York and the Lincoln Specials"
Episode Synopsis
Author Joseph Collea talked about his book New York and the Lincoln Specials. In the winter of 1861, President-elect Lincoln traveled across New York State on his way to Washington, D.C., as the secession crisis unfolded. In 1865, Lincoln's body retraced that route before burial in Springfield. Collea covers both journeys including Lincoln's reception in Buffalo, Albany, and New York City in 1861 and the outpouring of support for the deceased president in 1865.
