Lincoln Gradually Awakes! A Discussion on Lincoln the Man by Edgar Lee Masters

In this episode we discuss Chapter 10 of Lincoln the Man. Lincoln made major strides in his political career much later in life than most would expect. How exactly did he "awake from his slumber in a useless world when all seems dead"? Lincoln now saw his chance to finally make something of himself and take his long-time rival Douglas down a notch as the Presidential nominee of the new Republican party.
