Thanks for sharing those, nice shooting. By coincidence we were In Springfield three days ago, and enjoyed the tour of his home.

Nice set. I got a chill when I got back to his tomb. Just seeing his name there. I believe he is buried in cement below the marker.

Lincoln was originally buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield. Over the years a bunch of crazies threatened to "kidnap" his body. So eventually he was exhumed and on September 26, 1901 was reburied in the tomb you so beautifully photographed ... under a zillion tons of concrete.
BTW, when we were there back in 2001, the National Park Service sold us a brick from Lincoln's house ... salvaged when repairs were done to it a few years earlier ... along with lots of official documentation, for the hefty price of five dollars. We have it on one of our bookshelves.
