I have a question

Maddie,
I posted this a few years ago.

If you go on http://chicagohistoryresources.org/wetwi.../comb3.htm you can see a photo of Lincoln's waterproof overshoes described as an India-rubber shoe from Goodyear.

Goodyear seal on overshoes attributed to Abraham Lincoln (CHS 1920.683).
Lincoln's waterproof overshoes, which his wife gave to Elizabeth Keckley, were one of Goodyear's first commercially successful products.

I'm constantly amazed at how one subject leads to another to build a knowledge base. What fun I'm having on this forum!
