Historian and Monroe native Andrea Nolen is the author of Lincoln’s Counterfeiters: The Wisconsin Gang That Funded the Union and Started the Chicago Mob. The book traces the unbelievable true story of a group of 19th-century counterfeiters whose secret Wisconsin operation helped finance the Union during the Civil War — and later influenced everything from the Chicago mob to the Ziegfeld Follies and even the New Age movement. Andrea joins us to share how one forgotten Wisconsin gang helped shape the course of American history.
