Hello and welcome to the Lincoln Discussion Symposium's newest trivia game. Now you are asking yourself "Why a Blue Crab?" Well, I'm from Maryland, and we love our Crabs, just add Old Bay. In this game I will be posting puzzling questions about all things Lincoln, from the log cabin to his legacy.

Here we go with our first question:

This is a picture of me in Keystone, SD on my Senior Trip last Summer. As you can see I am with a replica of the "Children's Lincoln" outside the Gutzon Borglum Museum. Why did Borglum have such an interest in Lincoln and what things did he do to honor Lincoln's Legacy?

Don't know what his interest was, but he named his first child Lincoln

Was at Stone Mountain Ga a couple of weeks ago and found myself telling the guides about Gutzon Borglum. They had no idea who he was or his connection to Stone Mountain. Shocking!

Correct too! Mt. Rushmore is very awesome. Everyone should go at least once in their lives!

I think he also did the busts of Lincoln at the Capitol and Lincoln Tomb?

He also did the statue of Major General Philip Sheridan on Sheridan Circle in Washington DC
