RE: "Symbolic Inauguration Moments"
Here's another article on the Lincoln Bible.

"Lincoln swore the oath on it at his first inaugural in 1861, as the United States stood on the cusp of the Civil War. It was not used again at an inauguration until the election of Barack Obama, who was sworn in on it in 2009 and again in 2013."
