Ed Steers wrote a book entitled Lincoln - A Pictorial History. It was published in 1993. On pages 10-11 Ed included pictures of 7 generations of Lincoln homesteads. He starts with Samuel Lincoln's home in Hingham, Massachusetts, and continues through the president's home in Springfield.

I have always seen the cabin photo tagged as the cabin of Bersheba Lincoln (Lincoln's grandmother). Did she and Abraham both live here or is it a cabin to which she later moved after Abraham was killed by the Indian?

One other thought--Edward Steers's Lincoln: A Pictorial History was mentioned in a previous post. If you do not have this, BUY IT! So many of the older pictorials, e.g., those by Lorant, are hard to find. Ed Steers has produced a great pictorial and it would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection.
