But what is his place in our country today? In \u003ci\u003eLand of Lincoln\u003c\/i\u003e, Andrew Ferguson packs his bags and embarks on a journey to the heart of contemporary Lincoln Nation, where he encounters a world as funny as it is poignant, and a population as devoted as it is colorful. In small-town Indiana, Ferguson drops in on the national conference of Lincoln presenters, 175 grown men who make their living (sort of) by impersonating their hero. He meets the premier collectors of Lincoln memorabilia, prized items of which include Lincoln's chamber pot, locks of his hair, and pages from a boyhood schoolbook. He takes his wife and children on a trip across the long-defunct Lincoln Heritage Trail, a driving tour of landmarks from Lincoln's life. This book is an entertaining, unexpected, and big-hearted celebration of Lincoln's enduring influence on our country--and the people who help keep his spirit alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802143617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.47w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/18\/2008 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andrew Ferguson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38400216596661,"sku":"9780802143617","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bc5409f5-f1e3-4282-96c3-35a5c241f381.jpg?v=1612162675","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/land-of-lincoln-adventures-in-abes-america-9780802143617","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
