| Description | Detail of an 8"x 10" photograph of the Lincoln home in Springfield by an unknown photographer, showing Lincoln standing in the door with a crowd of neighbors, watching a procession, probably in the summer of 1860. A procession is known to have passed his house on August 8, 1860. It appears to be a demonstration favoring the admission of Kansas to the Union, as a banner states, "Won't you let me in? (Kansas)" |
