I find your love of Lincoln very intriguing. I love the part about him being wrongheaded I’m sure I could have used this site a time or two for school. Keep up the good work and keep those blogs coming.

Just browsed by-glad I did. I’ve always been a Lincoln fan. Love your humor!

Came by for a visit. You’ve made a lot of progress.

Very interesting and fun site.

Regarding the Lincoln library & museum…
in the 1970′s when I was attending Andrews University, there was a faculty member who favored Lincoln so much, they could be twins. He would dress up like Lincoln in plays, parades or just for fun, to the amazement of everyone in the community. I’ll call the university & see if I can get one of their pictures.

Thought I’d come back for my visit

Here is the first part of Ghost Adventures- Gettysburg.

Thanks Bill.
Out in Gettysburg this week attending the lincoln Forum. Starts tonight and runs thru thursday. For anyone who has an abiding interest in Lincoln the Forum is nirvana. Lots of speakers and a couple of hundred very interested and interesting people from all over the country.
By the way, if you ever get to Cleveland, make sure you get to the Soldiers and Silors Monument in downtown Cleveland. The relief sculptures inside feature Lincoln in two panels. They are somewht unknown. The only photos I have seen were wful pictures in book from the 1950′s. The inside of the monument has been completely restroed and is glorius. The statues on the outside are spectacular.
I’ll be blogging about my “Lincolning” trip this week and will post photos of some new Lincoln works when I get home next week.

Bill, I got to Detroit and was able to get my pictures at the library and at the pillars. I went ouver to check out the Borglum too.
The statue in the library is nearly impossible to shot due to the way it is situated in front of the windows, I tried a couple of techniques i hope will work.

I even got out to the cemetery in Plymouth. What an interesting place.

I used a different technique to shoot in the library. Give me a few days and check my photo website to see pictures I took. I also did son checking and found some overall information on the pylons and the artist that did them. The entire work was dedicated in either 1949 or 1950 and the artist was Marshall Fredericks, now deceased.The sculptures on the pylons are there to commemerate historical military events significant to war veterans in Detroit from the founding of Detroit by Father Richard and the explorer Cadillac up to the end of WWII.

Bill, I want to send you something. I thought I had your snail mail address but I guess I didn’t. Email me your mailing address.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hey Bill! This may be cooler than the origami $5. Love Daniel Day Lewis.

OSCAR WINNER Daniel Day-Lewis transforms into our 16th president in Steven Spielberg’s** long-in-the-works historical drama Lincoln, out November 9, and we have a first look!

Of the complicated historical character, Spielberg TELLS EW (where you can see the full-sized pic), “Lincoln had a very, very complicated — and at the same time, extremely clear — inner life. He thought things out. He talked things out. He argued both sides of every issue. And he was very careful in making any decision. As a matter of fact, his opponents and his enemies criticized him often for being impossibly slow to a decision.”

Lincoln focuses on the last four months of the president’s life and the political strategizing he undertook at the close of the Civil War to ensure that slavery would be forever outlawed. The film also stars David Strathairn as Lincolns loyal Secretary of State, William Seward; Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gulliver McGrath as Lincolns sons, Robert and Tad; Sally Field as his wife Mary Todd Lincoln; and Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens, a radical member of Lincolns own party.

“Our movie is really about a working leader who must make tough decisions and get things done in the face of overwhelming opposition,” says Spielberg.
