Our American Stories

The Con Man Who Managed to Get Pardoned by Abe Lincoln and Jeff Davis

On this episode of Our American Stories, he was so good that he got both the Union and the Confederate presidents to pardon him; yet, so bad that an NYC woman offered a $50k reward to find him—dead or alive.

Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.
