About this episode
Two near-death experiences for the Secretary of State in April of 1865 -- a carriage accident and a savage attack by a knife-wielding would be assassin -- ended up working together to spare the life of William Henry Seward, enabling the fateful land grab that contemporary Russians blame for their defeat in the Cold War.
