Gerry's Opening Monologue -
"This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...
| "...in 1879, The North American Review published excerpts from a diary of someone who witnessed many important events in Washington, D.C. and met many important people, including President Lincoln, in the Winter of Secession, 1860-1861. The diarist was anonymous, known simply as 'A Public Man.' Who was the Public Man? This has been called by some, the greatest mystery in American historical writing. Our guest today, thinks he knows the answer. His name is Daniel W. Crofts, he has written 'A Secession Crisis Enigma' and we will talk with him today, on Civil War Talk Radio." |
