Lincoln Library Receives Book Collection of Famed Biographer
By Associated Press, Wire Service Content Oct. 20, 2019, at 11:11 a.m.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL. (AP) — A treasure trove of about 130 books once owned by a renowned Abraham Lincoln biographer has been donated to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield. The books that once belonged to Benjamin Thomas could be a gold mine for Lincoln scholars as many of them contain the author's handwritten comments, observances and notations. Full story here. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/...biographer |

That is a very generous gift.
So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
