A journey down the 400 plus miles of the Connecticut River takes you not only through four New England states, but through a swath of history. Find out how the river helped develop New Hampshire, from the early days of the settlers through modern times. Laura's guest is Michael Tougias, lecturer and author of fifteen books about New England's history and outdoors. He is also a syndicated columnist for a number of newspapers, including the Springfield Union and the Taunton Gazette.

But first we'll check in with Andrew Card, White House Chief of Staff about the economy, about security and about the President's campaign
