What is the full title of the book Marilyn Monroe is holding? Who was the author?

[Anita]

I know the author is Carl Sandburg. The book title is a guess based on the photo.
Lincoln Collector- The story of the Oliver R. Barrett Lincoln Collection, or Lincoln - A picture story of his life.

[RJNorton]

Anita, you are on the right track. You got one correct...The book's title is Lincoln: A Picture Story of his Life. Good job. However, the book's author is not Carl Sandburg.

[Gene C]

The author is Stefan Lorant.
It's a very nice large, coffee table size book.
Lorant was a talented photo journalist.

I'd consider this a "must have" book about Lincoln.
It's worth a little bit more to search to find a good quality copy.

[RJNorton]

Kudos, Gene. You are correct.

[RJNorton]

A person mentioned frequently on this forum lived here. Whose house was this?

[Gene C]

Robert Lincoln ?

[RJNorton]

You are correct, Gene. Kudos. It was Robert's home in Chicago.

The Lake Shore Drive home was built in 1893, and Robert lived there for 18 years. The address was 1234 N. Lakeshore Drive. Here is a another photo of that home:

Here is a photo of the den inside Robert's home:

No googling please.

The Lincoln Catafalque was constructed to support the casket of the assassinated President. Lincoln's body lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda.

Since then many people have lain in State or in Repose on the Lincoln Catafalque.

After Lincoln who was the second person to do so?

[Anita]

Was it a Senator?

[RJNorton]

You are on the right track, Anita, but he was not a senator.

[Gene C]

Garfield ?
