Following in Lincoln’s Footsteps: A Complete Annotated Reference to Hundreds of Historical Sites Visited by Abraham Lincoln
 Ralph Gary
 From the Publisher:
From Abe Lincoln’s law offices to the sixteenth president’s White House office; from the address in Springfield, Illinois, where he and Mary Todd made up after a premarital spat, to the window he jumped out of in order to avoid a quorum call in the Illinois General Assembly, to the spot where he first heard the news of Robert E. Lee’s surrender -- this unprecedented volume of Lincoln lore takes you there. In it, Ralph Gary, avid Lincoln scholar, also answers dozens of lingering questions about Lincoln’s life as he sifts for the truth among the many disputes that continue to rage among Lincoln experts and enthusiasts. A longtime member of notable Lincoln societies, Gary has scoured county courthouse records and the writings of Lincoln’s contemporaries as well as thousands of other books written on Lincoln’s life and work to compile the most complete and up-to-date guide to Lincoln historical sites ever published. Included in the book are detailed maps and diagrams of the cities and buildings that Lincoln called home, so that Lincoln admirers, Civil War buffs, and all lovers of American history can readily walk in the footsteps of one of America’s most popular presidents. In addition, several appendices illuminate surprising similarities between the lives of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, of Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, and even of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. A comprehensive and engaging guide, Following in Lincoln’s Footsteps not only provides all the essential places and dates in the remarkable life and career of the frontier lawyer who became president but also relates, often with little-known details, the many surprising stories these historical sites tell.
