And I thought Skip Gates took Ferguson’s book and made his “own” documentary out of it, so that would make it a quickie of a quickie! No, I dug Ferguson’s book, regardless of how much it did or did not take for him to write.

Weekend was great – see upcoming series of posts. Unfortunately, the Tomb was closed on Sunday, and we just didn’t have time to see New Salem. We actually spent about 4 hours at the Presidential Museum! Thanks for all your tips – we followed them with great success.

Others, obviously, disagree.

But more importantly: So, Harry, how was the trip? Did Springfield live up to your expectations?

I find it very funny and entertaining. It has become one of my favorites on Lincoln.
