Since this year is Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday, let us now praise the guy. He spent all of 3 days in Iowa in his life, during his days as a lawyer. Spoke in Council Bluffs in 1859. Apparently the crowd was appreciative even though the refreshments - chicken and cake - had been stolen! Ah, chicken. Even before the Civil War it was the required dish at a speaker's event. We have more books on Lincoln than you can shake a beard at. OK, that was lame. But the books aren't.Hey! The author of the book to the left, John Stauffer, will be speaking Wednesday February 18 at the Central Library, 6:30 PM. bonus!
