We're making our way from St. Louis to Michigan, with some stops along the way. One is Springfield, Illinois, the adult home of Abraham Lincoln. We actually started at the end--Lincoln's Tomb, an impressive 117-foot structure with a soaring obelisk. The base is flanked on each corner with huge bronze sculptures depicting each of the four Civil War Services--infantry, artillery, cavalry, and navy. Abe, Mary, and three of their four sons are buried in the Tomb.
