200

Hey everybody, did you know today is Lincoln's 200th birthday? Yeah, we had no idea around here. It's not like we pay much attention to Lincoln here at the University of Illinois.

In honor of Abe's big day, I offer a set of Lincolnish posts culled from three years of first efforts. Enjoy!

Two posts about visiting the Lincoln Presidential Museum:

The Abe Experience, Part I
The Abe Experience, Part Deux

Two posts related to images of Lincoln at Gettysburg:

Stovepipe Hat in a Haystack
Onlookers and Bystanders

Obama Analogized, Appropriated, and Absorbed

Historically Misleading Captions, Lincoln Edition
