Following in Lincoln's Footsteps: A Complete Annotated Reference to Hundreds of Historical Sites Visited by Abraham Lincoln (Illinois)
"Ralph Gary's guide to all of the sites relating to Abraham Lincoln is by far the most comprehensive and useful guide for those who study Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. I know this to be true as I have used it in preparing for a tour of Lincoln sites in Illinois. It is well-researched, beautifully written, and a much needed reference work in the field of Lincoln studies." --Rhode Island Supreme Court Justice Frank J. Williams, Chair, The Lincoln Forum"Far more than a mere guidebook to historic sites, Ralph Gary's exhaustively researched volume is a captivating biography of Lincoln, taking him from Kentucky to Indiana to Illinois to Washington and vividly reminding readers of all the towns and cities he visited, even briefly, along the way. Engagingly written and well organized, the book belongs in the glove compartment or bookshelf of every Lincoln enthusiast who wants either a map of Lincoln's path through life, or a delightful review of the way he lived it." --Harold Holzer, Co-Chair, U. S. Lincoln Bicentennial Commision and auhtor of DEAR MR. LINCOLN--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
