If Lincoln proclaimed three days of fasting and six days of Thanksgiving over the course of his presidency, that puts the context of his revitalization of the holiday of Thanksgiving in a new light. Steve, I don't have his new book yet, but I do have his biography of Lincoln and the book on Lincoln in a global setting as well as his short book on humor. I'm hoping to pick up the newest book soon, but I'm waiting for my state tax refund, and much of it is already spent. I had never heard about Lincoln leading in thanksgiving and days of fasting and humiliation. Guess it just goes to show it is possible to learn something new about Lincoln.

I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
