Lincoln
Program
The
Sara Rose house was a
perfect setting for Gary
Kersey's program
February 14, 2008 about
the cane that could have
been made from wood
taken from the log cabin
in which Abraham Lincoln
was born.
Lincoln
was born in a log cabin
located near
Hodgenville, Kentucky.
After he became
president, there was an
interest in preserving
the Lincoln cabin. In
his inimitable way,
Kersey related the long
process of how the cabin
was disassembled and
then reassembled as it
was transported by rail
to different places
around the country. As
always, Gary related an
impressive amount of
information about the
subject
matter.
Engraved
on a sterling silver
ring near the handle of
the cane are words
stating that the cane
was made of wood taken
from the log cabin of
Abraham Lincoln. There
is no other evidence
that it actually is what
it claims to be, but if
you hear the story of
the travels of Lincoln's
log cabin, you truly
want the cane to be
authentic.
