Springfield Tour

[Rob Wick]

Liz,

In addition to the Lincoln bust, I got:

Boy Scouts Life of Lincoln by Tarbell (thanks to Bill's eagle-eye).
Holland's Life of Abraham Lincoln by Josiah Holland with an introduction by Allen Guelzo.
The Life of Abraham Lincoln by Isaac N. Arnold with an introduction by James A. Rawley.
Lincoln's Quest for Union by Charles B. Strozier
Moonlight: Abraham Lincoln and the Almanac Trial by John Evangelist Walsh.
Lincoln and Herndon by Joseph Fort Newton.
Lincoln by Emil Ludwig.
and
Lincoln in Marble and Bronze by F. Lauriston Bullard.

I was telling the other guys that Prairie Archives seems to have raised their prices considerably. I paid $25 for Bullard's book and $40 for Newton's book, which was published in 1910. I could have downloaded Newton's book for free and paid much less for Bullard's but this was one of those situations where I happened to be there and happened to see them. I wouldn't have been looking for any of them, except maybe Tarbell's book, otherwise. As for Ludwig's book, Tarbell read Ludwig's manuscript, so I wanted to have his book on hand.

Best
Rob
