Dear Reader,<\/p>\n

With fires raging throughout California, I hope that you and yours are safe. It’s heartbreaking to learn of so much loss and destruction. For those wanting a map view of where the fires are, here’s a map from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection<\/a> (aka Cal Fire). <\/p>\n

Next week there will be no newsletter, as I am taking a long Thanksgiving break. Happy Turkey Day!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tSee ya on the Net,

America’s sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) is revered for ending slavery, and preserving the Union by winning the Civil War. But perhaps he is best known for his Gettysburg Address of 1863 and being the first assassinated U.S. president. Learn more at these Lincoln sites.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum: Under His Hat
\n
\nAlthough there are other educational resources at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum, this one is my favorite. Under His Hat uses primary source materials to “bring Lincoln’s history to life.” Best clicks are found In the Classroom, where there are eight Flash activities including Mr. Lincoln’s Desk, Iconic Lincoln and Lincoln the Politician. “Of the many vocations that Abraham Lincoln tried in his life, the longest and most successful was certainly his career as a politician.”<\/p>\n

Abraham Lincoln Research Site
\n
\nRoger Norton begins with this introduction: “I am not an author or a historian; rather I am a former American history teacher who enjoys researching Abraham Lincoln’s life and accomplishments.” A great site for both middle-school and high-school students researching school projects, it is organized into three sections: Lincoln’s Assassination, Abraham Lincoln Research Site, and Mary Todd Lincoln Research Site. All of the interior pages have a Jump To menu in the upper-left, which I found to be the best way to discover the all the nooks and crannies of these three sites.<\/p>\n

History Place: Abraham Lincoln
\n
\nThis single page illustrated time line of Lincoln’s life begins in 1637 when Lincoln’s ancestors arrived from England to settle in Hingham, Massachusetts. Easy to read, it is peppered with personal tidbits such as “1817 – In February, Abraham, age seven, shoots a wild turkey but suffers great remorse and never hunts game again,” and “1841 – January 1, breaks off engagement with Mary Todd. Has episode of depression.”<\/p>\n
