An early morning of wandering around the National Mall and taking in its beauty devoid from the sometimes overwhelming amount of tourists clogging up the view and not allowing to stand eye to eye with Abe. _______________________________ Image is under Copyright by Peter Boehringer.

Day 3 of remembering America's monuments. LincoIn's Tower of Books. In Washington D.C. there's a monument to Abraham Lincoln that you've probably never seen or heard of before. In the museum next to Peterson House, where Lincoln died, is a tower made of all the books ever written about Abraham Lincoln, over 15,000 and counting. Perhaps more than any other statue or monument to Lincoln, it speaks to the admiration of the man who gave his life preserving the United States and ending slavery.
