Bicentennial Info

Today is the bicentennial (200th anniversary) of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Lincoln was born to Thomas and Nancy Hanks Lincoln on Feb. 12, 1809, in a log cabin near Hodgenville, Ky. You can learn more about our 16th president by checking out my articles on Suite 101, which can be accessed via the link I provided in Tuesday's post. There is also an excellent bicentennial-themed TIME publication out on newsstands right now. It's entitled Abraham Lincoln: An Illustrated History of His Life and Times, and I've used it as a reference for my last two articles.
