peach. ln was a son of john abrahams and cherokee, north carolina, after he got his mother pregnant because he objected and sent him away in a wagon with another man. is there any truth to that? >> i don't think so. there are all kind of stories and questions about abraham lincoln's birthright. the biggest stretch i've ever heard has him the son of calhoun because nancy once worked in a tavern where calhoun may have gone during the time he was

riding the legal circuit, but that's a real stretch. i think lincoln was the son of thomas and nancy. >> emory thomas, congratulations again on winning this year's person of the year. >> thank you so much. >> for lee wins it with the audience at the library of virginia. we thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> and we want to remind you in case you missed any of the program today, the interviews, the nominations by the historians. we'll show it all to you again this evening at 6:00 p.m. east
