Lincoln "visits" the library...

History really came to life with a program last Thursday (Feb. 25th), entitled "A Visit with Abraham Lincoln." Lincoln was portrayed by Steve Wood. Completely in character, Wood began the program with a recounting of Lincoln's early life and ended with a reading of the Gettysburg's Address. Along the way he commented on Lincoln's debates with Stephen Douglas, his run for the presidency, and the Civil War. *Mark*
