  • Another shows the reward poster that was posted after Lincoln's death.
  • There's another that honors the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's death.

Please feel free to download them. They're free!

Is History Repeating?

There are some comparisons being drawn lately between our incoming president Barack Obama and Abe Lincoln. What a great thing it would be for our country if the comparisons turned out to be warranted!
