Abraham Lincoln and the Eighth Judicial Circuit

[Kieran McAuliffe]

Hi Eva Elizabeth
Thank you for the kind words about the Booth Map.
The Lincoln map is actually the life of Abraham Lincoln from his birth to when he left Illinois to go to Washington as President-elect – all shown on a map. I start with the Lincoln ancestors entering Kentucky through the Cumberland Trail. And I end with Lincoln stopping in Westport, New York to see Grace Bedell. Getting all this history onto a map has been like putting the Gettysburg Address onto the head of a pin.
The Eighth Judicial Circuit is a small part of the map unfortunately, but still, I want every detail on my maps to be accurate so that they can be used as trusted reference material. I am hoping to get it printed by September. Another part of my map is Lincoln’s movements during the Black Hawk War.
