Link: Abraham Lincoln - The Temperance Man and Lemonade

And a link to the memory of the one Adair Countian who voted for Abraham Lincoln for President

With the high interest in the Steven Spielberg movie, "Lincoln," here's a link to a great Lincoln anecdote at the Illinois Ancesters website: How Lincoln answered a delicate question.
