Where exactly is the home in Springfield, Illinois, that Abraham Lincoln made up with Mary Todd following a spat before their marriage! Where was Lincoln when he jumped out of a window to avoid a quorum call in the Illinois General Assembly! From his law offices to the Oval Office, from where he shopped for clothes to where he first heard the news of Robert E. Lee's surrender, this unprecedented volume answers dozens of questions about the life of the sixteenth president and sifts for the truth in disputes that rage among Lincoln scholars and hobbyists. As a long time member of notable Lincoln societies, Ralph Gary has scoured county courthouse records and poured over the writings of Lincoln's contemporaries, and thousands of other books written on Lincoln's life, to compile the most complete and up-to-date guide to Lincoln historical sites ever published. With detailed maps and even diagrams of the buildings he called home, this book allows Lincoln enthusiasts and Civil War buffs to walk in the long footsteps of the sixteenth president. Ralph Gary's unique volume concludes with fascinating appendices that illuminate surprising similarities between the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis; between Lincoln and John F. Kennedy; even between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee.
