Lincoln On Phelps

"Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica." - Abraham Lincoln (from a letter written by Lincoln during his presidency to the head of the Hohner Harmonica Company in Germany)

During the Lincoln Douglas debtes Douglas told the crowd that Abraham Lincoln was two faced and Lincoln replied " If I was two faced, do you think I would wear this one" my favorite quote of Lincoln.

Best to you and the Mrs and all who comment here-thanks Russ for that -I was completely unaware Lincoln had said that-great stuff!! nolo-I wonder what you think of this idea-and its fine if you think its ridiculous-I was wondering if you ran a poll on your site with just two questions A Is the American Empire dying? B No it isnt get ready for round two
I wonder what the results would be-best to you as always and everyone here!
