       When was the last time you heard someone say, "back in '61", and he means 1861...
 
BTW, I thought that this would be an audio recording on one of Edison's recording tubes!

Wow listened to the whole thing there, what a historical recount and recall of events that occurred during such a critical time in United states growth as a country.  The very end of the recording is quite telling of how much political effect even back then could change the outlook of so many.
