Extra Credit Questions

[Joe Di Cola]

I believe it was at the Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta where the logs may have been mixed up. I have seen somewhere that this may have happened at an exposition in Nashville.
The only cabin that was sent to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 Thomas Lincoln's cabin in Illinois. There are no photos of it at the World's Fair, nor is its location at the fair mentioned in guide books. It "disappeared" after the fair and, I suspect, was destroyed in the several fires that also destroyed most of the fair structures during 1894.

If I remember correctly they were both displayed at the Chicago World's Fair at the same time when Thomas Jones was trying to sell his book. The logs got all shuffled together after that.
