http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2007-12-04/julie-fenster-case-abraham-lincoln-palgrave-macmillan
In 1856, Abraham Lincoln was at a crossroads. He was a man without a political party. And he was growing bored with his work as an attorney. The formation of an new party - the Republican Party - offered him a political home. A sensational murder case in Springfield, Illinois helped solidify his reputation as a great legal mind. A look at how Lincoln's life as an Illinois lawyer helped his rise to the forefront of American politics.
