Pioneer's Two-Way Trips Across the Atlantic plus a Canadian's Hunt for Lincoln's Assassin

This week, Kate talks about how it wasn't always a one-way trip for pioneers in the late 1800's - it could be a two-way trip, or even back or forth several times for different reasons. And it wasn't often an easy trip, so why do it? Plus, Paul talks about Edward P. Doherty, a Canadian who enlisted in the US Civil War and at war's end was assigned to lead the hunt to track down US President Abraham Lincoln's assassin.
