A History Podcast focusing on forgotten moments, people on the wrong side, and those who lost.
May 1881, a disgruntled man stalks the president from the shadows down Pennsylvania Avenue.

This first episode of a three part series gives us a peek into the psychology of a madman and the forgotten legacy of a president.
