Almost Immortal History Podcast
Famous figures. Forgotten stories - a history podcast that brings them back. Welcome to the Almost Immortal History Podcast. This show brings to life the stories of fascinating people who were famous in their day and accomplished amazing things, but over time they have not been immortalized in the same way as an Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Amelia Earhart or Winston Churchill – but their stories and impact on all of us are equally worth appreciating, understanding and enjoying.

Hannibal Hamlin - Episode 1
Many of us know the story of the assassination of American President Abraham Lincoln and the failure of his Vice President and successor, Andrew Johnson, the first American President to be impeached by Congress and to come within one vote of removal from office.
Though many might not know the story of the man who was Vice President just one month earlier for Lincoln’s first term in office. A man wholly different in character and values that almost surely would have set the course of American history on very different path. So, sit back and enjoy the story and the focus of today’s episode – former United States Vice President, Hannibal Hamlin.
