We're trying to correct that, so in this episode we discuss... Polk's family and upbringing, a brief stint in the military, an early start to a political career, his election to the US House of Representatives, a successful run for Speaker of the House, Polk's becomes governor, and more! We'll pick it up from there in the next episode!    __________________________ Check out our new logo t-shirt! __________________________ We recorded an audiobook!
