Princeton professor and expert regarding the Battle of Gettysburg and Lincoln Dr. Allen Guelzo joins Kim to talk about Lincoln, Gettysburg, and his upcoming book on Lincoln. Allen Guelzo’s upcoming book, Our Ancient Faith: Lincoln, Democracy, and the American Experiment, is set to be released in early February. This book delves into the history and motivations of Abraham Lincoln’s life. It highlights Lincoln’s profound desire and appreciation for learning, a trait nurtured by his mother. In contrast, the book suggests that modern parents often fail to instill a love of learning in their children. Guelzo argues that parents and educators should limit children’s screen time and encourage them to read for pleasure, positing that reading is a subversive activity that can open new horizons for young minds. Listen to the full interview in the first hour.
