I knew a man who knew a woman that met Lincoln. Both persons passed on, the man last year.
I am the proud owner of George Washington’s hatchet!
It’s had 6 new heads and 10 new handles since George owned it though.
In 1936,when I was 5 years old, I heard my [Canadian] great grandmother talk about going to Buffalo, N.Y. to listen to Lincoln speak on his way way to his first inauguration. Unfortunatly I cannot remember all that she said, but I do recall that she said he [Lincoln] had a very high-pitched voice and a strong Hoosier twang.
