A strong campaign print for Abraham Lincoln by the Kellogg brothers and their associate George Whiting in New York. This was probably the first print of Lincoln by the Kelloggs. The face, which is beardless, may have been based on a photograph of Lincoln, but the resemblance is poor. The firm issued another (reversed) campaign print which has a better image of Lincoln, which seems to indicate that this version was rushed out as soon as information reached Hartford that Lincoln had been nominated. Typically of such campaign prints is the fact that "Republican candidate for" is in small type between Lincoln's name and the designation "Sixteenth President ..." This would have allowed the firm to reissue the print if Lincoln was elected by simply erasing the middle line of the title. The Kelloggs did do that with the later campaign portrait (cf. Brashears & Shortell 4 & 5), but this hurried print seems to have been discarded once the better print was made. $1,800
"Abraham Lincoln." With facsimile signature at lower right. Steel engraving originally created by John C. Buttre, but a changed third state. New York, 1861. 25 1/2 x 18 1/2 (image) plus large margins. Third state; re: Milton Kaplan, "Heads of State." Winterthur Portfolio 6 (1970): 136-7. Smudges in the margins and archivally repaired tears into top and bottom margins. Overall strong impression.
A large and powerful, full length portrait of Abraham Lincoln in an elegant setting that suggests the White House in Washington. The president is framed by the pillar of strength and the curtain of elegance, while his table contains books, a lamp and a paper. A very elegant chair surmounted by an eagle is behind Lincoln.
Upon closer inspection a nimbus surrounds the president's head and the lamp from an earlier use of the steel plate. In 1859 the plate had been used to print portraits of John C. Fremont when he was running for the office of president for the second time as a Republican. On the table was a globe. When Lincoln gained the nomination in 1860 the plate was reused by burnishing out the head of Fremont and changing the globe to a reading lamp. At first Lincoln appeared clean shaven in the second state, and soon thereafter the third state was created when the beard was added. $850
"Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States." New York: Currier & Ives, 1861. Lithograph. Original hand color. 11 3/8 x 8 3/8. Very good condition. C:20. Denver.
Currier & Ives naturally issued many prints of Lincoln during his Presidency, including this one which was in the style of their Presidential portrait series. Surprisingly rare, this is a very nice example of a desirable print. $550
"Presidents Buchanan and Lincoln Entering the Senate Chamber before the Inauguration." By "Our Special Artist." Wood engraving and offset text from Harper's Weekly. 16 March 1861. 6 x 9 (image) plus margins and text. Half a folio page. Slight soiling.
Just prior to taking the Oath of Office when the new president was to stand outside the Capitol before the crowd, the new and former presidents met a group of U.S. Marshals. To their right were the Marshal of the United States for the District of Columbia (Colonel William Selden-the only one named) and to their left other marshals. While not said in the text, these marshals present were there for security measures.
This engraving is a scarce piece because it is not large or heroic or exciting; however, it captures the somberness of the occasion as states in the south were withdrawing from the Union and violence was a threat throughout the land. $85
"A. Lincoln. President of the U.S." Cincinnati: Ehrgott, Forbriger & Co., ca. 1862. Folio, ca. 12 1/2 x 9 1/2. Lithograph by Ehrgott, Forbriger & Co. Very good condition. Denver.
Perhaps in late 1861, but certainly by mid-1862, the Cincinnati lithographic firm of Ehrgott, Forbriger & Co. began to issue a series of portraits of Civil War figures: politicians as well as military and naval officers. These prints, which the firm continued to issue at least as late as 1864, were of a type published by other lithographic firms of the day, for instance Currier & Ives, E.B. & E.C. Kellogg, Gibson & Co., and J.H. Bufford. While of a familiar type of print, these Ehrgott, Forbriger & Co. are quite unlike the prints by other publishers in one salient feature. As discussed in Milt Kaplan's "Heads of States," (Winterthur Portfolio 6. Charlottesville, 1970 Pp. 135-150.) prints of different figures share the same, or very similar backgrounds, with the identical horses, landscapes, troops, ships, desks, and so forth. While some of the backgrounds the firm used appear only in one print, others are shared by between three and five figures, and some even more. This particular background was used for all the political figures, of which nine are know, including Lincoln, members of his cabinet, and mid-west governors. In each case a different head is attached to the same body. The Ehrgott, Forbriger & Co. prints were issued separately for those in the mid-west who wanted to have these images of Union heroes and they have also been found in bound portfolios. However they are found, they are quite rare. $525

"President Lincoln's Grand March." Stone lithography, colored. Published by F.A. Doggett. New York, 1862. 13 x 9 1/4 (sheet). The musical piece is credited to F.B. Helmsmuller. The sheet is cut a bit close on all sides, the bottom left corner is replaced, and some text at the bottom is cut off. An attractive piece.
A lovely and heart felt portrait of Abraham Lincoln whose flag draped oval portrait stands on a stone base flanked by allegorical female figures representing Peace and War. By this time the war had mounting casualties on both sides, but the tenor of this print was to exhibit determination to persevere. $350
"Abraham Lincoln" [printed autograph]. "President of the United States." Steel engraving by George Perine. 10 3/4 x 8 (image) plus full margins. New York: George E. Perine, 1864. Excellent condition.
A handsome and strong three quarters portrait of Lincoln seated in an elegant chair by a luxurious curtain. The paper on his desk is the Emancipation Proclamation. Perine made many small book illustrations in his time, but this is a larger and richer piece. By 1864 Lincoln's writing and signing the Emancipation Proclamation was seen as a crowning achievement of his presidency. $600
"Abraham Lincoln." New York: Rudolf Lesch, 225 Fifth Ave., 1864+. 26 x 19 (image) plus full margins. Steel engraving. See ref. Milton Kaplan, "Heads of State." Winterthur Portfolio 6 (1970): 139-40, figs. 10 & 11. Strong image; three expertly repaired tears. Scarce.
Thanks to Kaplan's article we know that the model for this imposing full length image of Lincoln is a smaller engraved portrait of John C. Calhoun that was published in Duyckinck's National Portrait Gallery (New York, 1864): II, 162. The elements are very similar with the exception of the titles on the documents on the table. Calhoun's documents read, "Strict Construction," "Free Trade" and "The Sovereignty of the States." Lincoln's documents are: "Constitution," "Union," and "Proclamation of Freedom." Spine titles of two books on the table are Jefferson Works. The Library of Congress print was published by William Pate, and this one is by Rudolf Lesch not much is known about either of them.
A strong portrayal of the savior of the country, probably popular among those mourning his assassination. Not found in major publications that should include such a portrait. $1,200
Compare to: "J.C. Calhoun." 7 3/8 x 5 3/8. Steel engraving. Very good condition. $65
"Abraham Lincoln. 16th. President of the United States." Credits read, "Photo by Brady" and "Engraved by A. H. Ritchie." Steel engraving. 15 1/2 x 11 1/2 (sight) in archival mat in frame 26 x 22. New York: Derby & Miller, 1864-65. Some slight spotting throughout.
A very strong, patriotic image of Abraham Lincoln emerged at the time of and with the spirit of commitment to the Emancipation Proclamation. When Francis Carpenter was creating his painting and next his engraving of "The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation," participants such as Matthew Brady and Alexander H. Ritchie were committed to that publication as well as this portrait of the president. Associate publishers credited on this print were J.A. Elliot in Boston and George & C.W. Sherwood in Chicago. All three were celebrating Lincoln's accomplishment, and the steel plate survived to later reflect his dignity and fame. $1,200
"A. Lincoln." Lithographed portrait surmounting a facsimile autograph in a large oval. 14 3/4 x 10 3/4 (sight) after a photograph. Oval trimmed 1/4" beyond the remaining paper. Clean, bright, strong portrait. No references found.
This portrait is based on the 1864 photograph by Anthony Berger done in Brady's studio. It is a large print and one of the most neat in the depiction of Lincoln's hair and clothing of all that we have examined. No hint of the backwoods rail-splitter is here. Rather the image is of a strong and serious man with a mature beard and more hair than any other. The print fits with the message of victory approaching for the North in the Civil War, and it would have been welcomed for those mourning after Lincoln's assassination.
Almost all oval portraits such as this would have been framed. Given the destructive materials used and climate in most homes, the fact that few of this printing are available is no surprise. $750
"The Assassination Of President Lincoln, At Ford's Theatre Washington, D.C. April 14th. 1865." New York: Currier & Ives, 1865. Small folio. 8 x 12 1/4. Uncolored. Very good condition. Wide margins. C:291. Denver.
Currier & Ives to a great extent built their business on their "rush prints," ones which showed important (or at least exciting) events of the day which were rushed into print so that the American public could have an image of the news they heard about. This is a nice example of that type of print, an image showing the assassination of Lincoln at Ford's Theater on April 14th, 1865. It would have appeared within days of the event and shows Lincoln sitting next to Mary, who is gazing unsuspecting at the stage, while Lincoln throws up his hand in surprise as the bullet fired by Booth hits him. A key below the image gives the names of the figures shown and the rushed nature of the print is indicated by Booth simply being identified as "Assassin." A print of a seminal event in American history by America's greatest printmakers. $450
"Washington and Lincoln. The Father And The Saviour Of Our Country." New York: Currier & Ives, 1865. Lithograph. Medium folio; 15 x 11. Some old stains, but overall very good condition. C:6510.
Currier & Ives, "America's Printmakers," issued many prints on current political and social themes, and during the Civil War these included a large number with a pro-Union bent. This is one of the best examples of that genre, a print showing George Washington shaking the hand of Abraham Lincoln before the eternal flame of Liberty. This tied together the "Father of his Country" with the President trying to preserve that country, as a Union and as the support of liberty throughout the world. $750
Henry B. Major & Joseph Knapp. "Grand Reception of the Notabilities of the Nation, at the White House 1865." New York: Frank Leslie, 1865. 14 7/8 x 20 3/8. Lithography by Major & Knapp. Good margins, with some wear, tears and smudging. Otherwise, very good condition. Denver.
According to Holzer, Boritt and Neely (The Lincoln Image, p. 145), this print had a copyright date of April 8, 1865, just a week before the assignation of Lincoln, and thus would likely be the last print issued during Lincoln's lifetime. The print shows Lincoln, with Mrs. Lincoln by his side, at a "Grand Reception" in the White House. Lincoln is shown receiving General and Mrs. Grant in a room filled with most of the notable figures of the government and army. As Boritt, Neely and Holzer say, "The picture froze in time the Lincoln who might have emerged from his years of unrelieved melancholy "the catharsis denied him by John Wilkes Booth." (ibid., p.144f.)
This print was issued by Frank Leslie and it has a price of $3.00 printed on it. However, the print was actually intended as a free premium for subscribers to Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner, a "New Family Paper." This particular instance of the print was a broadside issued to advertise the paper and its premium. In the lower right, text is printed over the corner of the image explaining that "Every Person who pays Ten Cents each for numbers 1 and 2" of the paper will get the print for free. Leslie had a number of prints run off with this legend imprinted on them, and these would have been distributed throughout his outlets in order in increase the sale of the Chimney Corner. The cost of two, ten cent issues was not a bad deal for a $3.00 print. In order to keep his subscribers a bit longer, Leslie promised to issue a key to the print, to be published in volume 4 of the paper. This example of Leslie's broadside is a fine example of the nineteenth century print market and also an excellent image of one of the last events in Lincoln's presidency. $575
W.H. Pratt. "Proclamation of Emancipation." Davenport, Iowa: W.H. Pratt, 1865. Lithograph by A. Hageboeck. 11 3/8 x 9. Very good condition. Eberstadt 40. Holzer, Lincoln Seen and Heard, p.17. Denver.
In this artifact of Civil War America, fascination with Abraham Lincoln and the end of slavery coincide with the aesthetic tradition of fine penmanship and meticulous engraving. A popular format throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the calligraphy portrait is used here to unite the martyred president with his most famous document, the Emancipation Proclamation. Written either by W.H. Pratt or by E.C. Smith (examples crediting both exist), the calligraphic portrait is a masterful manipulation of letter form to achieve a well-known likeness and joins the plethora of images of Abraham Lincoln that came on the market after his assassination. Printed in Iowa, the state that sent the most soldiers to the front per capita in the Civil War, this print would have been a powerful visual reminder of one of the outcomes of a costly struggle. A popular image and a rare example of fine engraving from the a small printing center of the Midwest. $1,200
"Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States. Born Feby. 12th. 1809. Died April 15th. 1865." New York: Kimmel & Forster, ca. 1865. Lithograph. Ca. 14 x 10. Wide margins. Excellent condition.
A stately memorial print to the assassinated President, issued shortly after his death on April 15th, 1865. Lincoln is shown 3/4rs, standing in front of a American shield draped in mourning. The print is signed, but the signature (F. Facks?) is hard to read. A handsome example of the type of print which would have hung in many homes of grieving Americans. $750
"Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States. Born February 12, 1809. Died April 15, 1865." Stone lithograph. Bust portrait in oval with signature beneath reading, "A. Lincoln." 10 3/4 x 8 1/2 (image). Full margins.
A fine, strong image; probably printed within the year 1865. $825
"The Funeral of President Lincoln, New York, April 25th. 1865. Passing Union Square." New York: Currier & Ives, 1865. Small folio. 8 x 13. Uncolored. C:2206.
Currier & Ives had much success with issuing "rush" prints of important events of the nineteenth century, which provided one of the few sources of graphic depictions for the general public. This is a fine example of this sort of print, showing Lincoln's funeral procession through New York. $575
"Death of President Lincoln. At Washington, D.C. April 15th. 1865. The Nation's Martyr." Currier & Ives, 1865. Small folio. 8 1/2 x 12 7/8. C:1501.

"Abraham Lincoln. The Nations Martyr. Assassinated April 14th. 1865." New York: Currier & Ives, 1865. Small folio. Vignette, ca. 10 1/2 x 9. Uncolored. Paper time toned. In early frame. C:26.
Another example of a "rush" print of Lincoln after his assassination. $675
"The Death Bed of the Martyr President Abraham Lincoln. Washington, Saturday Morning April 15th. 1865, at 22 Minutes Past 7 O'Clock." New York: Currier & Ives, [1865]. Medium folio. Lithograph (black & white). Full margins. Repaired single tear into left margin. Fine impression. C: 1471.
The many contemporary prints depicting the death bed of Abraham Lincoln often showed as many prominent people as would fit into a room. The eighteen people depicted here could never have fit into the room across the street from Ford's Theatre. The room is decorated in fine style for the Nineteenth Century, National leaders depicted in the foreground are from left to right: Gen. Halleck, Gen. Montgomery Meigs, Sec. Stanton, Post Master Dennison, a clergyman, Mr. Colfax, Chas. Sumner, Robert Lincoln, Sec. McCullogh, Sec. Wells, and three surgeons. In the far background and past the doorway are Mrs. Lincoln, son Tad and Miss Harris. The clergyman seated at the bedside records the time of death with his pocket watch. The depiction of furniture in the room includes prints are "The Horse Fair" by Rosa Bonheur and a version of "The Blacksmith Shop" by a British artist. $900
"Abraham Lincoln. The Nations Martyr. Assassinated April 14th. 1865." New York: Currier & Ives, 1865. Small folio. Vignette, ca. 10 1/2 x 9. Uncolored. C:26. Denver.
An unframed example of this dramatic "rush" portrait print. $675
Kimmel & Forster. "Columbia's Noblest Sons." New York: Henry & William Voight, 1865. 14 1/8 x 20 1/8. Lithograph by Manson Lang. Very good condition. Holzer, et al., The Lincoln Image, fig. 95.
A handsome print linking Lincoln with the revered George Washington. Portraits of the first and sixteenth Presidents are placed in ovals on either side of the figure of Columbia, who holds a laurel wreath above the head of each. To the left of Washington are drawn scenes from the Revolution, and these are mirrored on Lincoln's left by scenes from the Civil War. Below the former is shown the Declaration of Independence, and below the latter the Emancipation Proclamation. As Holzer, Boritt and Neely say, "The meaning was unmistakable: the birth of freedom in America under Washington in 1776 and the "new birth of freedom" on January 1, 1863, were of equal importance." (The Lincoln Image, p. 197). By the time this print was issued, Lincoln was being placed by his supporters on a level with Washington, and this print is an excellent example of that trend. $475
Anton Hohenstein. "President Lincoln And Family Circle. Respectfully Dedicated To The People Of The United States." Philadelphia: John Smith, 1865. 18 5/8 x 24 3/4. Lithograph by A. Hohenstein. Some discoloration and repaired tears in margins (one extending just into lower neatline). One repaired crack (nearly invisible) at Lincoln's left leg. Lined on rice paper for stability. Overall, fine condition.
Lincoln's assassination inspired the publication of many prints about Lincoln, including portraits, scenes of the assassination, and images of earlier, happier times of Lincoln's life. A surprisingly large number of the latter prints showed Lincoln and his family in a domestic setting, giving the American public a glimpse of the private life of the martyred President, albeit one based more on the imagination of the artist than on reality. Modified from a painting by Francis Bicknell Carpenter (that J.C. Buttre made into an "official" print), this portrait of the Lincoln family was drawn by Anton Hohenstein and published by John Smith of Philadelphia shortly after the assassination. Lincoln's figure comes from the famous 1865 photograph of the President reading to Tad, here reversed and altered to show Tad holding the book, instead of his father, as in the photograph. Because Hohenstein wanted to show all three sons (including Willie who had died in 1862), Tad's place in the photograph was taken by Willie in the print, and a figure of Tad as a younger boy was added standing next to Mary. Dressed in a sized-down soldier's outfit, Tad mirrors his older brother Robert, who appears here in uniform. Overall, the image is an impossible construction by the artist, for there were only a very few times Robert was in Washington before Willie's death in 1862, and Robert didn't join the army until 1864. Of primary importance, though, was the symbolism of a Victorian ideal family for the martyred President, not verisimilitude, and this print well achieved its aim. The rendering of the surrounding furniture is very well done, and the figures are less crude than many of the other similar prints that were rushed to print after Lincoln was shot. This is a fascinating reflection of its time and a most interesting and attractive graphic image of Lincoln and his family. $575
"Abraham Lincoln, Sixteenth President of the United States. Born Feby. 12th. 1809. Died April 15th. 1865." New York: Kimmel & Forster, ca. 1865. Lithograph. 12 x 8 1/2 (sheet). Excellent condition.
A stately memorial print to the assassinated President, issued shortly after his death on April 15th, 1865. Lincoln is shown in a rectangular bust portrait. He is handsome, strong and wears an elegant vest. An example of the type of print based on Francis Carpenter's original that would have hung in many homes of grieving Americans. $550
"President Lincoln at Home, Reading the Scriptures to his Wife and Son." New York: Currier & Ives, 1865. Lithograph 16 1/2 x 12 1/2 (in oval). Framed to archival specifications in original oval frame. Frame features some distressing but better than most and an unusual survivor. Conningham, 4883.
This large oval portrait used a Mathew Brady photograph, taken 9 February 1864, that showed Lincoln reading to his son Tad. The image of Mrs. Lincoln to the right was drawn into the ensemble by the lithographer. It is an unusually large lithograph and shows the president turning to the Biblical chapter of Isaiah.
In Stefan Lorant's Lincoln. A Picture of His Life (Harper, 1952): p. 184, the author claims that Lincoln insisted that the book was a photo album so the public would not think he was merely posing with a Bible. In this case the book has clasps as would a Bible, but that was also appropriate for a large album at the time. An unusual and scarce piece of history. $1,200
F. Schell. "Lincoln Family." Philadelphia: John Dainty, [ca. 1865 ff.]. Steel engraving by A.B. Walter. 8 1/4 x 6 (oval image) plus margins. Slight age toning. Cleaned and deacidified. In original, very well preserved oval frame.
Although not giving proper credit, this picture is inspired by Matthew Brady's famous portrait of President Lincoln reading to Tad. Added to the print is Mary Todd Lincoln and son Robert behind the president who is reading a Bible. We can assume it is a Bible because the clasps on the back cover represent a typical housing for the times. A portrait of the son, Willie, who died in the White House is on the far wall. A lovely and touching print in a contemporary frame. $425
William E. Marshall. "Abraham Lincoln." New York: Ticknor & Fields and Wm. E. Marshall, 1866. Steel engraving by W.E. Marshall. 20 5/8 x 15 7/8 (image) plus full margins. Excellent condition and impression.
A dignified, handsome formal bust length portrait of Lincoln, drawn, engraved and published by William E. Marshall. As soon as it was issued, this print was accepted as the finest portrait ever done of Lincoln, and in fact was claimed by a number of critics to be one of the finest engravings ever produced. Copies of this print were sent to many who knew Lincoln, and their reaction was uniformly enthusiastic. Amongst some who had high praise for the print were Robert Todd Lincoln, Gustave Dore, William Herndon, Edwin Stanton and Charles Sumner. Frederick Douglass even had the print on display in his home. As fine an example of American portraiture in print as one can find. $1,800
"President Lincoln And His Cabinet. With General Grant in the Council Chamber of the Whitehouse." New York: Thomas Kelly, 1866. 18 7/8 x 27 3/4. Lithograph by Antoine (Anton) Hohenstein. Printed by Spohny, Philadelphia. Trimmed to neat line at sides, expertly remargined. Very good condition. Holzer, Boritt, & Neely, Changing The Lincoln Image, Fig. 2.
An interesting print of Lincoln, his Cabinet, and General Grant issued by popular print publisher Thomas Kelly. The basis of this lithograph is Francis B. Carpenter's image "The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation," first issued in 1866. Bavarian born Philadelphia artist Hohenstein has made some revisions, but this clearly is a copy. Stanton, Chase, Lincoln, Seward, and Bates are pictured in essentially the same places and poses as in Carpenter's original, as is the picture of Pennsylvanian Simon Cameron (Stanton's predecessor). The room is the same, though Hohenstein removed the portrait of Andrew Jackson and added two landscapes to the wall in the background, and made a few other changes to disguise the piracy. To the basic image taken from Carpenter, Hohenstein moved the image of Wells, replaced Blair with his successor Denison, and in a central position, added General U.S. Grant. Interestingly, he did not show Smith's successor at Interior, but rather both Bates and James Speed who succeeded him as Attorney-General. And, rather than showing a scene concerning the Emancipation Proclamation, this print is supposed to show Grant discussing his campaigns, for the General boldly points to a location on a map placed on the table.
As the war had ended, Kelly also published for sale in the South a Confederate edition of this image, with General Lee replacing Grant, Davis replacing Lincoln, and so forth! This is a wonderful image of Lincoln, as well as an instructive example of the practices of printmaking in the mid-nineteenth century. $850
Samuel B. Waugh. "Lincoln and his Family." Philadelphia: Bradley & Co., 1866. 17 1/2 x 24 3/4. Mezzotint with engraving by William Sartain. Printed by Irwin & Sartain. Very good impression. Very good condition. Holzer et al., The Lincoln Image, Fig. 80. Denver.
This is one of most famous prints of Lincoln, a family portrait based on a painting of Samuel B. Waugh and engraved by William Sartain. This print was copied by many other nineteenth century print publishers, but none equaled the quality of this rich engraving. Lincoln is shown with his two sons and wife surrounded by elegant furnishings of the White House. The family is grouped around a covered table, upon which lie two books, including the Bible. Lincoln and Tad sit to the left, and above Lincoln's right shoulder is a bust of George Washington, linking the martyred president with the 'father of the nation.' Outside the draped window is the outline of the Capitol dome, completed during Lincoln's terms. Mary Lincoln sits to the right, and Robert stands in the center between his parents. Over Robert's shoulder is a portrait of William Lincoln, who had died in 1862. Waugh makes use of clever symbolic lighting and artifacts, which was characteristic of portrait painting at this time. One symbol was described in a promotional circular, "On the table is a vase of flowers 'embracing the Roses of the North, and the Small Magnolia, Sweet Clematis, and Virginia Creeper, which bloom in profusion in the South,' all wreathed in harmony, emblematic of the friendly feeling that should exist between the people of the North and South, in the great vase of the UNION..."
Waugh's details are beautifully rendered by William Sartain, scion of the illustrious Philadelphia family of artists the patriarch of which was John Sartain. The concept and design of Waugh's painting was based on Edward Savage's famous image of George Washington and his family. It is interesting that John Sartain engraved a large mezzotint after the Washington family painting, so here William is following closely in his father's footsteps with his engraving of the Lincoln family. William was able to closely simulate the texture of the rich satins, soft woolens, and lustrous leather. At the time of its issue, this print was thought of as a first class example of print making, selling for as much as $20 for an artist's proof, and $7.25 for a regular print. As Holzer, et al. remark, "In its day, the Sartain engraving was considered the best print portrait of the Lincoln family." (The Lincoln Image, p. 171) This print was so popular that cartes-de-visite were published using photographs of the print, giving the illusion they were photographs of the actual family. $950
Ad. Biegemann. "Lincoln and His Family." Philadelphia: William Smith, ca. 1866. 18 x 24. Lithograph by D. Wiest. Original color. Tear at top extending ca. 3" into image, and tear at bottom just touching image. Otherwise, very good condition. Holzer, et al., The Lincoln Image, Fig 87.
A very primitive rendering using the same theme as the print above. The publisher wanted to take advantage of the demand for images of the President without investing in a first-hand rendering. Thus his artist based the image of Lincoln on a photograph of the President and Tad taken in 1865. The image was reversed for the print, but because Biegemann wanted to show all three of Lincoln's sons, including Willie who had died in 1862, the image of Tad from the photograph became Willie, and a figure of Tad as a younger boy was added. Robert is shown in uniform, even though he didn't join the army until after the death of his brother Willie, near whom Robert is standing. The heads and bodies of all the figures are out of scale with each other, and the setting is most awkward. That such a print could be produced and sold by a major publishing house is an interesting reflection on the print market of the time, and a strong indication of the demand for images of Lincoln. $450
Ad. Biegemann. "Lincoln and His Family." Philadelphia: William Smith, ca. 1866. 18 x 24. Lithograph by D. Wiest. Very good condition. Holzer, et al., The Lincoln Image, Fig 87. Another example of the print above, this one uncolored. $400
Eastman Johnson. "The Boyhood of Lincoln. (An Evening in the Log Hut.)" Boston: L. Prang, 1868. Chromolithograph. 21 x 16 3/4. In period frame. Mounted on board as issued and with original labels by Prang.
Eastman Johnson was hailed for his charming image of the "Barefoot Boy," inspired by on John Greenleaf Whittier's poem. This classic American image was made into a chromolithograph by Louis Prang of Boston. Louis Prang was the most successful American publisher of chromolithographs and he said that the print of the Barefoot Boy was his most successful print ever. This success spurred Prang to go back to Johnson for another of his excellent images, this print showing young Abraham Lincoln reading by the light of a fire in his log cabin home. This is one of Prang's larger and most expensive images, selling for $12 a copy (in contrast to the Barefoot Boy's $5). According to Prang's promotional text, "This great national picture, is full of artistic excellencies, apart from its associations. What better picture to have constantly before the eyes of the rising generation? It teaches that in America there is no social eminence impossible to the lowest youth, who by perseverance, study, and honesty of life and purpose, shall seek to reach the ranks of the rulers of the people." This print still evokes that American ideal, which in addition to the quality and attractiveness of this superb chromolithograph, makes this a most desirable American print. $2,100

A finely executed profile engraving of our sixteenth president by T. Johnson. $475
"Lincoln Family." Photograph: Carte de visite format. Ca. 5 x 3".
A photograph of a composite image using Brady photograph of Lincoln reading to Tad, superimposing image of Mrs. Lincoln seated next to her husband and Robert in military uniform standing behind his father's chair. Note: though Willie's death is acknowledged by his absence from the picture, Mrs. Lincoln is not shown in mourning dress. Cartes de visite, so named for their size (which resembled a small calling card), became popular in the 1850s and 1860s. Using a specially-designed camera, eight different poses could be printed on one sheet of photographic paper, then cut up and mounted on small, pocket-sized cardstock. The same photographic technology that allowed loved ones to exchange likenesses also afforded thousands of Americans the opportunity to own pocket-sized portraits of public figures, including most prominently Abraham Lincoln. $125

Max Rosenthal. "Abraham Lincoln." Philadelphia: James E. McClees, 1908. Etching by Max Rosenthal. 23 5/8 x 18. With etched remarque of Lincoln's death mask. Signed in pencil.
A handsome etched portrait of Lincoln without a beard by Philadelphia artist/etcher Max Rosenthal. Rosenthal (1833-1918), born in Russian Poland, studied lithography in Paris at 13, and emigrated to Philadelphia in 1849 or 1850. An active lithographer working with his brothers Louis, Morris and Simon, he also taught mezzotint engraving and oil painting in his later years. He issued a number of attractive portraits in the early twentieth century. Here, inspired by the Marshall portrait, Rosenthal places Lincoln's bust in a oval frame, but this one containing the official seals of the United States and its several states. A banner at the bottom states "With Malice Toward None With Charity For All," and just above is partly shown a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation. In the lower margin is a small etched remarque showing Lincoln's death mask and the print is signed by the artist. A very attractive and strong image from the early twentieth century. $575
Six Satires depicting Abraham Lincoln. These are reproductions of satires that were drawn in 1864 by Henry Louis Stephens who moved from Philadelphia to New York in 1859. He was a brilliant satirist who even managed to lampoon the works of John James Audubon after working for that family. He drew political and social cartoons mainly for magazines such as Frank Leslie's and Harper's during the war. These images appeared in a British magazine.
The six reproductions were commissioned by Townsend and Fuller in 1930 and lithographed by the famous Hoen & Co. in Baltimore. This publisher incorrectly named the artist as "L. H. Stephens" instead of "H.L." An interesting selection that appeared in a city which retained its Southern sympathies into the Twentieth Century. Price for the six $85

I am a tech writer by trade.
That title is very limiting, how many tech writers do to you that converted user guides to responsive format? That's me, I believe technical documentation completes the user experience and should be given all the glitz and glamor same as the material we used to got the user to get to buy into our idea and experience.
I believe we are lucky to live in an age where technologies are being developed to make the whole of human knowledge available across mediums, regardless of device and in an instant. I think the ubiquity of the World Wide Web is a gift to humanity analogous to Gutenberg's press.
My love of writing and producing content is rooted in these beliefs and as such, I have acquired a rock solid web design skill set to be ready for what is coming in the world of digital media. My rock stars are Jeffery Zeldman, Ethan Marcotte and Kristina Halvorson.

The Green Path of Plant Knowledge: Illuminating Ourselves, Illuminating the Beings of the Forest
The School of Forest Medicine provides many ways for you to deepen your relationships with the plants of the Pacific Northwest and to find your way on the Green Path of Plant Knowledge. Our classes and courses interweave direct spiritual experience with practical, hands-on participatory work. We offer you the opportunity to find and connect with your Plant Allies and to remember your living bond with the elemental forces of nature. Through meditation, ritual, and song you will learn to work with the spirits of the plants and with the spirits and ancestors of this land, learning to be a vessel of healing and a messenger for the Teachings of the Forest.
We call upon these divine beings to remind us how to find our way here on earth and to guide us on our long term, multigenerational goal of establishing a center of learning and healing in the forests of Cascadia where we can remember how to live harmoniously with all beings. By working to restore authentic initiatory rites we will offer ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren the opportunity to live in an intact culture—fully attuned to the cultural and spiritual matrix of the earth, recognizing who we are, and knowing what we are here to do.
Classes and courses range from long-term initiatory journeys to evening Plant Teacher Circle meditations. Please read on for a complete description of our offerings.
Plant Teacher Immersion Trips: Remembrance—Finding Your Plant Allies
New for this year! Sign up for trips individually. Attend one or more. Receive a discount if you sign up for all five trips!
Reconnecting with Nature to transform ourselves and build a new culture guided by the Teachings of the Forest
The School of Forest Medicine's Immersion Trips are not just for "Plant People" but for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of life here on Earth. On these trips we will explore and experience the blossoming of a new spirituality for our place, our time, and our people—a true Mystery School where we remember our relationships with the spirit forces of the land and work to build the foundations of a renewed, intact culture.
On each of these trips, traversing the vibrant landscapes of the Cascadia Bioregion and beyond, we will call upon the plant beings, each a living embodiment of spiritual truth, to help guide us as we navigate our way through life in a culture that has forgotten its ties to the land and spirits. Through plant-based ceremonies we will weave our spirits with the forces of nature, restoring the connections between the human and spiritual realms through song, ritual, meditation, and prayer.
- Awaken your true gifts and find a deeper meaning to life
- Renew your connection with Nature and find your Plant Allies and Guides
- Find real and deep community with others who share your passion for the wild
- Remember who you are as you explore the Mysteries of the Forest
- Learn through direct experience and awaken your heart's true perception

Weekend Plant Teacher Immersions
We go to the forest because that is where we come from. It is here in the wild places that we can remember how to live in harmony with each other, the planet, and ourselves. The forest is a great repository of wisdom that remains alive and intact. The "teachings" of the forest don't always come in words but alter us on an energetic level and allow us to receive the imprint, the blueprint of life that is our birthright as children of this creation.
Loosely inspired by the dieta tradition of the Amazon jungle but informed by years of dedicated plant communion here in the forests of Cascadia, these weekend immersions will offer plant medicine people the opportunity to forge and strengthen the bonds with these deep plant teacher guides and allies.
Plants and dates for 2014 TBA

Plant Teachers of Cascadia: An Experiential Materia Medica of our Native Plants
Explore and learn the physical and psycho-spiritual properties of 27 of the Northwest's most important medicines
Medicinal plants are here in abundance awaiting our return. As physical manifestations of the spirit forces of the land, they have the potential of being our most profound teachers. When we open ourselves to receive these teachings, we not only heal ourselves, but we make these healing forces more available to the earth, our families, our community, our society, and all of humanity.
In this 10-week course we will meet and explore 27 of the most important medicinal plants of the Pacific Northwest. We will learn experientially by tasting and meditating followed by a physical and psycho-spiritual Materia Medica delivered by Scott.
The course will be open to practitioners of all kinds as well as those just wanting to get to know and work with the plants more deeply for personal growth and understanding. We will also encourage clans (e.g. Chinese Medicine, Western Herbalists, Naturopaths) to form study groups outside of class to deepen the understanding of the plants and their medicine in relation to the different medical paradigms.
Wednesday nights 6-9pm

Five Best and Most Outrageous Things at Florida Supercon
Categories: Lists
We weren't sure whether to laugh or be excited. Some fanboys and fangirls were over the top, but their genuine happiness was really fun. Here are the five best, funniest, or most outrageous things we saw at Supercon:
We understand the swords. They're a large part of the Japanese culture. But the knives? There was an entire stall set up for selling these blades. The best part was the hand written sign that said, "YOU MUST BE 18+ TO BUY WEAPONS." Yeah, that's a comfort.
It's enough to make your head spin. Beyond the comic books, there were posters, costumes, dolls, toys, shot glasses, and custom art. We ran into a teenager who told us, "I came planning to spend $100." Yikes. And it seems like his budget was at the low end of the spectrum.
They actually had to redirect foot traffic when the Princess Bride star showed up at a booth to sign autographs. Twice we had security guards stop us because we weren't allowed up the aisle. And when the Invader Zim stars (Richad Horvitz, Rikki Simons, and Melissa Fahn) sat down for a panel discussion, you could hardly walk through the area. One girl drove down from Orlando just to see them.
These fangirls and boys mean business. Some of those costumes were more elaborate than Halloween on Lincoln Road. There was hand-made robot gear, inflatable suits, and body paint galore. Because if you're going to go to Supercon, chances are you're the kind of person that's going to go all out. Check out Florida Supercon's Best Dressed.
Margaux Herrera |
Aloe Soda? Gross. |
These sugary treats were everywhere at Supercon. There was Ramune, soda sealed with a glass marble that needs to be pushed into the bottle in order to drink. There was bubble gum that changes from sweet to sour as you chew. The cookie rods that were for dipping into chocolate and strawberry cream were the best though. They had English words and descriptions printed on them, and typical of most Japanese-English products, they were fairly ridiculous. Our favorite read, "Bat - Flies In The Night."

English GCSE grading legal challenge begins
Local authorities, teaching unions and schools have begun a legal challenge against Ofqual's refusal to re-grade GCSE English papers in England.
They have written formally to exams regulator Ofqual, and exam boards AQA and Edexcel, threatening to seek a judicial review.
Thousands of pupils scored lower-than-expected results when grade boundaries were raised mid-way through the year.
Ofqual held an inquiry into the problems but has stood by the grading.
However, teachers and heads have complained that pupils who sat the papers in January got higher grades than those who sat them in June.
The pre-action letter, signed by six teaching associations or unions, 113 schools and 36 councils from across England is the first step of the alliance's legal challenge over the issue and sets out the case.
It says the administration of the results contravenes "the cardinal principle of good administration that all persons who are in a similar position should be treated similarly".
It adds that the decision is "conspicuously unfair and/or an abuse of power, breaching (without justification) the legitimate expectations" of students who sat the examinations.
It is being sent to the boards and the regulator and gives them seven days to respond.
- Issues with GCSE English grading emerged as results reached schools in August
- Heads suggested the exams had been marked over-harshly after Ofqual told exam boards to keep an eye on grade inflation
- Exam boards told reporters grade boundaries had changed significantly mid-way through the year
- Alterations were as much as 10 marks
- Heads complained pupils who sat GCSE English in the winter might have got a lower mark if they had sat it in the summer
- Their unions called for an investigation and some mentioned legal action
- Ofqual agreed to hold an inquiry
- It ruled that the earlier January grade boundaries were too lenient and the June grades were correct
It adds: "It is inconceivable that two cohorts of students enrolled for the same course in the same academic year, who have undertaken the same work and invested the same effort, and who will be competing in future for the same opportunities, should be subjected to such radically different standards of assessment and award."
And it argues that schools and students relied on the published January grade boundaries in making their preparations for the June exam.
Because no specific, focused warnings of significant grade boundary changes were made, schools and students were denied the opportunity to change their preparation for the key examination.
Ofqual held a short inquiry into the problems but found the exam boards had acted properly and stood by the results for all those who sat the exam, despite the discrepancies.
Publishing the report at the end of August, Ofqual chief executive Glenys Stacey said: "The issue is not the June, but the January boundaries. Again, examiners used their best judgement in setting these boundaries, but they had less data and information to work with."
English GCSE is one of the core subjects, and most students require a C grade to move on to the next stage of their education.
'Bureaucratic bungling'The move comes after Welsh exam board, WJEC, re-graded thousands of English GCSE papers. Some 2,300 pupils received better results.
Brian Lightman, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "This legal challenge is essentially about fairness. Young people only have one chance at a good education and it is absolutely wrong that 16-year-olds this year are ending up paying for mistakes made by adults who should know better. This is about putting right the errors that were made by Ofqual and the awarding bodies in this year's exams."
Russell Hobby, General Secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), said: "The statistics are opaque but the moral issue is simple: a group of young people have been made to pay a devastating price for the mistakes of others. This must be rectified swiftly."
Mayor of Lewisham, Sir Steve Bullock, said: "Our young people are paying for the bureaucratic bungling of others.
"Students performing at exactly the same level in January and June have been given different results - some have passed through the gateway into their next level of education or training, while others have had the door slammed shut in their faces."
Shadow Education Secretary said: "Labour supports teachers, parents and pupils who are demanding exams are marked fairly. But they shouldn't have to resort to the courts.
"Michael Gove looks increasingly isolated and out of touch. He has sacrificed thousands of young people's futures who just want the chance to continue studying."

Veterinary Medicine Bringing Our Oath in Action to Ag Roundup
Auburn, Alabama —
Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine students and faculty will be putting Our Oath in Action at the 2013 Fall Roundup and Taste of Alabama Agriculture on Saturday, Oct. 12 on the Auburn University campus.
The Alabama Veterinary Medical Association is one of six veterinary associations in the country selected by the American Veterinary Medical Foundation to participate in the initial launch of a nationwide campaign called Our Oath in Action and the event in Auburn is one of two planned in Alabama.
"We are pleased to be part of this national effort to bring awareness to pet healthcare. The theme to this event is centered around the idea that we're members of the veterinary profession making a difference in your community," says ALVMA President Bill Bledsoe.
"Auburn veterinary medicine students and faculty will be using the ALVMA's Animal Emergency Response trailer to educate the public on how to take care of their animals during natural disasters and hand out information about keeping pets healthy year-round, said Dr. Julie Gard, an associate professor in the Department of Clinical Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine.
In addition to the animal emergency response trailer, the College's Animal Health and Performance Program Chief Trainer Terry Fischer and detector canines will give a 10 a.m. presentation to showcase their important national security work.
Ag Roundup, co-sponsored by the College of Agriculture and the AU Agricultural Alumni Association with corporate partners, is set for 9 a.m. until noon. Admission is $5, children under 6 are free. It will be held on Ag Heritage Park's south side, with the main entrance located at the Alabama Farmers Pavilion, 620-A S. Donahue Drive.
Members of the veterinary profession are committed to the well-being of animals. Every day, in their clinics and in their classrooms, they embody their veterinarian's oath, using their scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society and the advancement of medical knowledge.
"We are excited to be a part of Ag Roundup on Auburn's Homecoming to showcase the important work of the AVMF, the ALVMA and the College of Veterinary Medicine to help animals," Dr. Gard said.
"We want people to learn more about how to protect their pets when the unthinkable happens," she added. "During natural disasters or other emergencies, companion animals are also in harm's way and it's important for owners to know what steps to take to ensure their pet's care."
Veterinary medicine students participating in Oath in Action at the event are members and officers of the Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association and officers of the Pre-Veterinary Medical Association Club.
The AVMF, the charitable arm of the American Veterinary Medical Association, created Our Oath in Action day to put that pledge into practice. The AVMF is funding and coordinating this effort with the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine and the Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine with support and oversight from the ALVMA. A similar event will be held at the Tuskegee CVM later this year.
"Our Oath in Action is an important educational and service mission of the College of Veterinary Medicine and the AVMF," said Dr. Brad Fields, head of Alabama's Agricultural Emergency Response and adjunct professor in the Department of Pathobiology who is coordinating the event with Dr. Gard.
"We will have information to give out, shirts, bags and toys for children and an opportunity to join the AVMF in its mission to help veterinarians help animals. Pets are part of the family, and it's important to include them in disaster planning."
Ag Roundup, which has earned a reputation over the past 33 years as Auburn's largest tailgate party, is open to everyone and features a wide range of foods grown and/or produced in Alabama. Ag Roundup also offers informative displays and children's activities.

We could have gone quicker still, says team boss
Fernando Alonsos triumph in Sundays Monaco Grand Prix gave McLaren their 150th Formula One victory. It was also one of their most dominant, with Lewis Hamilton following Alonso home, their Ferrari opposition more than a minute down the road.
The two silver cars started from the front row and after safely retaining their positions into Turn 1, never looked like being troubled. Hamilton kept Alonso honest throughout their first two stints, before the world champion stamped his authority on proceedings in the last.
An outstanding result for the team, said boss Ron Dennis, after McLaren extended their constructors championship lead over Ferrari to 20 points. Both Fernando and Lewis drove so well and responded excellently to the teams wishes of bringing both cars home safely in what was a memorable one-two result and McLarens 14th victory in the Principality.
Their one-two finish puts Alonso and Hamilton level on points at the top of the driver standings, and while Alonso wasnt totally surprised to win, he was taken aback by McLarens margin of victory.
I have never had the experience of being more than one minute ahead of the competition, which probably makes this one of my best victories, commented the Spaniard. I didnt get off the line brilliantly from pole position, but as there is such a short run to the first corner I was pretty sure that I would be able to keep the lead. As I was able to save fuel in my first stint I was able to stay out for two more laps than originally planned. After that the race was pretty quiet.
And just to emphasis McLarens dominance, Dennis suggested afterwards that they could have gone even quicker, had the need arisen: Once the first round of pit stops had taken place we reverted Lewis from a one-stop-strategy to the faster two-stop-strategy and at the same time slowed both cars down to conserve the brakes.

New Orleans is famous for its cuisine, but Saints fans aren't getting homesick for the great food while they're in South Florida.
Many restaurants in the Miami area have tailored their menus to entice Super Bowl visitors.
Other restaurants didn't have to make any changes at all. News 2's Luke Margolis found some spots offering the real deal, including one spot run by a former Baton Rouge restauranteur.

From Craig Johnson, author of the acclaimed novel The Cold Dish, comes this enthralling Sheriff Longmire mystery. With a distinctive literary flair, Johnson leads us into the wide open space of Absaroka County, Wyoming.
Listen to all of Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire mysteries.
©2006 Craig Johnson; (P)2007 Recorded Books
"Johnson combines a vivid sense of the dailiness of life--and the way human relationships take root in that dailiness--with a sure--handed touch for jolting both his characters and his readers out of their comfort zones and deep into harm's way. It's hard to ask for more in a literary mystery." (Booklist)

"What a wonderful find!"
On the face of it, the book didn't seem like my kind of mystery. Sherrif in Wyoming? Sounded a bit like a Tony Hillerman book. Tony Hillerman's books are good, don't get me wrong, but this book is really special. The characters are human and very real, not stereotypes, the plot unfolds naturally, the dialog is right on. Nice, dry humor (just my style). And there is a real, plausible mystery at the heart of the story. George Guidall, the narrator, reads everything with just the right touch of irony. I can't recommend this book enough.
"Simply the best"
Craig Johnson is now my favorite author. This is the second of his books I've read and it even exceeds his first, Cold Dish. Johnson is an immensely talented writer. Aside from the good mysteries, he has created unforgettable characters and sense of place. He combines a fantastic wit with just enough warmth to make you care about the characters and the story. I'm not a writer, so I can't do it justice...
Finally, George Guidall does a _superb_ job of narrating this story. By God I think he was born for such a time as this. Don't think I've read a more perfect author and narrator combination (and i have read many, MANY audio books.)
"Longmire is the Man!!!"
Walt Longmire is my hero! I love all of Johnson's characters as they are real people with real problems doing the best they can. Walt is real, but he's got style! The storyline keeps you on the edge of your seat, but comfortably on the edge. You will enjoy the ride. Guidall is the only man for the job with these characters. The other two Craig Johnson/Walt Longmire books available are awesome as well. Listen & Enjoy!
"Great Read"
I read his first book Cold Dish which features the same charaters. it was wonderful
this book is just as good. I recomend this book to everyone A+ which I do not give to many books
"WOW--couldn't put it down"
Yes. Story characters very real and interesting. Mixture of humor and Indian (oops, Native American) beliefs entertaining and appealing. Only removed one star because I need to keep buying more books to listen to more of these wonderful stories.
Plot flowed very well. Mr. Johnson's ability to create exciting characters who are very different yet work well together I believe added to the plot.The story did not stall, my interest was strong throught the book. Actually I wished it had not ended. I read the first book in this series, The Cold Dish, and could not wait to hear more of the story, so I immediately bought Death Without Company. Neither story is a disappointment. Both are books you cannot set down, and yes, kept me on edge of seat waiting for...who did what?
George Guidall is my favorite narrator (but others are good too). Mr. Guidall brings the characters alive. Characters voice remain the same in this second book from the first. What I especially enjoyed after a time was Mr. Guidal's slower speach used for the Sheriff and Bear. This seemed to exemplify the layed back nature of these folks, how they think and take their time, but initially this slow speech annoyed me. Later, use of the different cadence really added to the story, especially in dramatic exciting or humours spots. Don't know how Mr Guidall could have read some of the funnier parts without laughing...must have taken a number of takes to complete.
This series has now become my favorite. I highly recommend these 2 books (I have not read others yet). These stories have prompted me to do some research into Indian lore, customs, and beliefs. While others may not want to do this, these well written books have had a great impact on me. Besides wishing I was of Native American origin, I do want to visit Wyoming .Finally, the humor is this book is outstanding. I could not stop laughing when the hospital staff went to sheriff office. There is more humor, and sadness mixed with hope. A very real enjoyable book..."Yes, it is so , (Johnson, 2007)."
"Memorable characters"
"A life without friends means a death without company." Basque proverb
Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire is back in action in this satisfying sequel to The Cold Dish. The tone of the book is similar to its predecessor, but the story is entirely different. This time Walt and company are attempting to discover the cause of death and later the causer of death of an elderly woman living in a nursing home.
The book opens and closes with a burial. Johnson did something similar in his first book, and in the second one he brackets the book with burials. At the beginning of the book he is in a cemetery talking to the man in charge of preparing graves. The reader learns a great deal about the history of burials, and I was beginning to think it wasn't going anywhere when Walt said, "Do you ever stop talking?" to the garrulous old man. This brings us back to the familiar, soft spoken man we knew in the first book. I really like Walt. It's no wonder there are bumper stickers for "Walt Longmire for Sheriff" in Absaroka County, Wyoming.
Johnson's Walt Longmire books make me laugh and cry and think. He has a delightful way of phrasing sentences to create images in the mind of the reader. The occasional flashes of Native American (or as Walt would say, Indian) spirituality enhance the story.
I loved this book. I hope Johnson keeps creating memorable characters, and I hope George Guidall keeps narrating them.
"Go George!"
I really enjoy this series. A simple whodunnit with George Guidell's narration are what make this series so enjoyable. Mr. Guidell makes it easy to differentiate between all of the characters by his talent for voices, both male and female. He makes this book...

"Another good storyline"
I did not read the print version so therefore, I have to assume it would be the same. I enjoy listening to George Guidall bring the characters to life.
It would be a tie between Lucien and Walt. They are both trying to make sense of life.
The old indian woman firing the gun at Walt when he enters the trailer.
The description of the woman being beaten by her husband.
"Another good story"
This is the first author I have ever read that follows one story with another so closely within the fictional time period.
Most authors are either vague about the time of the event in the story, or they space the stories months or years apart.
This story is only about two to three weeks after the first book.
The story is very good, although it appears a pattern is emerging, the twist and turns are still pretty fresh.
The story covers half a century, so there is lots of depth.
"Walt and Henry Ride Again!"
Craig Johnson's Wyoming tale is brought to life by one terrific reader; I've been parceling this series out, trying to make it last through the holiday season since it's treat to find a series so enjoyable. I've wanted to do "book returns" on some of my audible.com purchases, but not this one! You will not be disappointed.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Cronulla have re-signed back-rower Anthony Tupou and centre Ricky Leutele for the next two NRL seasons.
The in-form Tupou recently played his 200th NRL game while Leutele has been ruled out of the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
Sharks coach Shane Flanagan welcomed the news as a further boost to his side who have won four of their last five games after a slow start to the season and sit in sixth position on the ladder heading into round 16.
"The last couple of years, while he hasn't missed a lot of games Anthony had that radical surgery and has played injured a lot of the time. But finally his knee is good, he's fit and he can run again," Flanagan said.
"As a result we're seeing the old Anthony Tupou, fit and strong and were very happy he's signed on for another two years.
"With Ricky, it was disappointing about his injury this year but he was in first grade, playing well and showing us what he can do at the start of the year. It's a really important position and he is showing great potential."
Tupou said he turned down a number of offers from rival clubs. The former Kangaroo had been linked to Parramatta and a move to the Super League, to stay with the Sharks.
"I'm just happy now that I know I'm here for another two years and I think it's a really good opportunity for me," Tupou said.
"I feel like the club is getting better and better and I want to be a part of that and really add to that as well."
Halves Todd Carney and Jeff Robson re-signed with the club last month.
Cronulla play North Queensland in Townsville on Sunday.

When I see the word "crowdsourcing" used in journalism it's hard for me not to see it as condescending. Crowdsourcing isn't bad, and at any level it does allow folks to participate in media, a far better thing than just consuming. But it's not enough. If the occasional crowdsourced web feature and comment thread are […] more »
Nearly 10 years ago, the Public Insight Network began as an experiment in radically improving journalism by harnessing the intelligence and expertise of the audience. We started simply, at MPR News, but soon began to open up the network to partners, and in so doing, asked journalists a simple question: Will you open up to […] more »
