General William “Bull” Nelson of Mason County, secretly fought to keep Kentucky in the Union and was then famously murdered in Louisville's Galt House Hotel by Jefferson Davis (not the Jefferson Davis you’re thinking of).
Camp Nelson in Jessamine County, Kentucky, was named in his honor. The incredible historic site is now remembered for the hundreds of enlistments of Kentuckians into the U.S. Colored Troops. Poet Frank X Walker has written a collection of poems touching on these people and moments called Load in Nine Times—several of which are included in this episode covering both the history and his modern relationship with Camp Nelson.

In Part 1 of our special two-part series, Gwen Thompson, Executive Director of the Mary Todd Lincoln House, joins us to explore the early life of Mary Todd Lincoln in Lexington, Kentucky. From her upbringing in a prominent and politically connected family to the cultural and social influences that shaped her worldview, this episode offers a fascinating look at the formative years of one of America's most complex First Ladies.
We delve into Mary’s education, her family’s stance on slavery, and the vibrant atmosphere of Lexington in the early 19th century—a place that profoundly influenced her later life in the White House.
