Even more from Springfield


Lincoln's tomb, originally uploaded by snoopoz.

Here's part of Lincoln's Tomb. It's very impressive - if you ever find yourself in Springfield, definitely go see it. I think people tend to oversimplify Abraham Lincoln, but he was a fascinating, complex character.

A really interesting book I read was "Lincoln and Chief Justice Taney," which was about Lincoln and Roger Taney, who wrote the infamous Dred Scott decision.
