The Last Stop Lincoln and the "Mud Circuit" is a history of Lincoln's appearances in Christian County Illinois, when he rode and worked the Eighth Judicial Circuit. Why was I drawn to this local history? The storyteller is a character

The fact that there is a commission celebrating Abraham Lincoln is a joke. I understand he was a president etc, but I do not see a FPBC (Franklin Pierce Bicentennial Commission) getting started anytime soon. In fact, I would make an argument that FP is more deserving of a celebration. He was not a tyrant.

I'm looking forward to reading this book. It should be interesting to learn the connection between the pioneers and their relationships with Lincoln. He was one of our most important presidents and any new information about him and his personality will be enjoyable. Also, it will be interesting to read about Senator Durbin's ancestors and how they wre connected to Lincoln.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the first female Speaker of the House, reads to her grandchildren. What better way to insure the widespread commemoration of Lincoln's birthday than to organize a circle of grandmother-readers. We can also enlist honorary grandmothers for those who seek to draw closer to children.

Attending Abraham Lincoln grammar school in Revere, Massachusetts, in the 1950s, I grew up thinking there were only 2 presidents, Lincoln, and then Truman.
Now using the pen name Margaret Grace, I write a mystery series set in the fictional town of Lincoln Point, CA, where every Lincoln event, large and small is celebrated and the city buildings are decorated with Lincoln portraits and quotes.

Nearly every adult over 50 who went to public schools when history and civics were still widely taught knows stories about Lincoln’s love of learning. Imagine how he would have reveled in the book world today. The ALBC plans to have a major Lincoln presence at most of the great Book Fairs.
