Happy Birthday, Abe!
‘Tis the 200th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth.If you’re celebrating, Honest Abe style, in your library, check out this “Lincoln kit” from the Library of Congress’ American Memory project. (Thanks to Karen B. of the MAME listserv for the heads-up on this.)(I’m rather fond of this certificate stating that so-and-so is a member of the Wide-Awake Club, myself. Good to know politicians had a sense of humor back then.)
Be forewarned … if you are a history buff, American Memory is very addictive.
