Críticas:

"This brief volume contains a wealth of information shedding a bright light on both 'Lincoln's Springfield' and 'Springfield's Lincoln.' It is especially helpful for those wishing to know more about Lincoln sites above and beyond the home, tomb, law office, and capitol."--Michael Burlingame, Chancellor Naomi B. Lynn Distinguished Chair in Lincoln Studies, University of Illinois Springfield "This is a delightful journey along the highways and byways of the circuit traveled by lawyer Lincoln during his twenty-four year legal career. It essentially demonstrates his "experiential" rather than formal education." --Frank J. Williams, The Civil War Monitor

Reseña del editor:

Collecting fifty Abraham Lincoln sto-ries-some familiar and beloved, some fresh and unexpected-Looking for Lin-coln in Illinois: Lincoln's Springfield is a carefully research, richly illustrated guide to the Looking for Lincoln Story Trail. Created by the Lincoln Heritage Coalition, this trail consists of 215 il-lustrated story boards in sites of sig-nificance to Lincoln's life and career across fifty-two communities. Looking for Lincoln celebrates the trail as a rich historical resource, reproducing each of the existing storyboards and including twelve additional storyboards. The storyboards of the Lincoln Story Trail connect Lincoln-related tales to the geographical locations in which they occurred in Lincoln's hometown, giving readers a tour of the social and cultural landscape of Lincoln's nineteenth-century world while revealing the very human Lincoln known by friends and associ-ates. Through texts, historic photographs and images, and a map keyed to the fifty story locations in downtown Springfield, readers of this unprecedented volume are invited to imagine social and cultural landscapes that have been lost in time.
