• Dark Fields
  of the Republic

  Today's birthday: Ken Burns

  Charley Reese on the republic:

  "The republic died at Appomattox, and it's been empire ever since."

  Charley Reese on Lincoln:

  "Washington
  and Jefferson created the republic; Lincoln destroyed it."

  In closing... 

  A link in memory of Donald G. Higman, dead on Feb. 13, 2006, the day after Lincoln's birthday:
