Thanks Gene-

Some of the photos make me giggle. For example in the one at top left why is a "prairie maiden" from the early 19th century dressed like a 30-something starlet on a Paramount movie lot, circa 1935?

Also I've said so before, but that Edgar Lee Masters poem is the corniest drivel ever! It's especially ironic when one considers that Masters later turned violently anti-Lincoln and wrote the nasty, sarcastic "Lincoln The Man" about him.
