About this episode
Host Clay Newcomb and Render regulars Bear Newcomb, Dr. Misty Newcomb, and Josh "Landbridge" Spielmaker are joined by Michael Rosamond of Sun Spot Lights and retired Missouri game warden and Renaissance man Kyle Carrol as they continue their Civil War discussion by examining the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Robert E. Lee.
The conversation also highlights just how recent Civil War history really is, featuring a firsthand family connection of Michael Rosamond to a woman whose mother was born into slavery.
But that's not all! Hear about Clay's runaway mules, exciting details of Bear's recent Alaskan bear hunt, and foreshadowing of Clay's upcoming book American Bear.
