“Here are four shots relating to Abraham Lincoln and President’s Day.  First is the Lincoln Birthplace near Hodgenville, Kentucky.  The temple-like building you see in the distance houses a replica of the log cabin where Lincoln was born on a farm, on February 12, 1809.  The shot with two statues is in Alton, Illinois, at the site of one of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates in 1858.  Lincoln’s home in Springfield, Illinois is to the right of it and the last shot is the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.”
