On February 12, 2009, Nevada and the world commemorate Abraham Lincoln's bicentennial. But a couple of other presidents are having bicentennials this year, less eminent than Lincoln, but with their own Nevada connections.
Former Senator Richard Bryan spoke about President Andrew Johnson and now he tells us about President Jefferson Davis and his Camel Corps.
