Abe Lincoln Week: When Abe Lincoln Said Thanks But No Thanks To A Herd Of Elephants

We’re replaying some of our favorite episodes about the 16th President. In this episode from February 2020, President Lincoln gets an offer from a fellow leader to send elephants to the United States, and he has to gently put the guy off. Plus: when elephants who haven't seen each other in a while get back together, they do some big, loud and adorable stuff.
