Following in Lincoln`s Footsteps

From Abe Lincoln`s law offices to the 16th president`s Oval Office; from the address in Springfield, Illinois, where he made up with Mary Todd after a premarital spat to the window he jumped out of to avoid a quorum call in the Illinois General Assembly ? this unprecedented volume of Lincoln lore takes readers there. A longtime member of notable Lincoln societies, Ralph Gary has scoured county courthouse records and the writings of Lincoln`s contemporaries as well as thousands of other books written on Lincoln`s life and work to compile the most complete and up-to-date guide to Lincoln historical sites ever published. Included are detailed maps showing Lincoln`s travels so that students of the Civil War and Lincoln buffs can retrace history by walking in the footsteps of one of America`s most popular presidents. By far the most comprehensive and useful guide ... well researched, beautifully written, and a much-needed reference. ? Rhode Island Supreme Court Chief Justice Frank J.
